REU-site in the Biological Sciences

该奖项资助本科生夏季参与正在进行的教师研究在生物学系在麦基梅隆大学。 该部门在细胞生物学，遗传学，分子生物学，发育生物学，生物化学和生物物理学方面进行国家认可的研究。 每个学生将进行一个原创的研究项目，该项目由一名教师设计，该教师是他或她的专业领域的领导者。 学生们还将参加一系列特别的研讨会和讲习班，从科学荣誉到申请研究生院，并在总结研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。 学生将从美国各地的学院和大学招募。 将作出特别努力，从文理学院招收学生，招收大量少数民族学生和妇女是一个主要目标。 学生的选择将基于学术标准（SAT成绩），推荐信，以及学生对研究的兴趣。

This award funds summer participation by undergraduates in ongoing faculty research in the Department of Biology at Carnegie-Mellon University. The Department conducts nationally recognized research in cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, developmental biology, biochemistry and biophysics. Each student will carry out an original research project devised by a faculty member who is a leader in his or her area of expertise. Students will also attend a special seminar series and workshops ranging from honor in science to applying to graduate school, and present the results of their research at a concluding symposium. Students will be recruited from colleges and universities all over the United States. Special efforts will be made to recruit students from liberal arts colleges and the recruitment of a significant number of minority students and women is a major goal. Selection of students will be based upon academic criteria (SAT scores), letters of recommendation, as well as the students' stated interest in research.
