REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Microbiology

9605122 Stahly一个已经运行了几年的经过验证的本科生暑期研究项目将继续并扩大。在1997年至1999年的夏季，将分别支持9名、10名和10名本科生。与过去几年一样，招聘和选拔将重点放在女性、少数族裔和非博士学位的学生身上。——资助机构，那里的研究机会有限。被选中的学生将被纳入参与研究的教师的研究，并将被期望表现得像刚开始的研究生。在实验室的实践经验将辅以非正式的师生讨论和每周的研讨会。该项目将以学生研究的口头和书面报告结束。每周的披萨午餐，两次野餐和一次宴会将促进社会和科学的互动。根据过去的经验，该计划有望激发学生追求科学事业。

9605122 Stahly A proven undergraduate summer research program that has been in operation for several years will be continued and expanded. During the summers of 1997 through 1999, respectively, 9, 10, and 10 undergraduates will be supported. As in the past years, recruitment and selection will emphasize women, minorities, and students from non-Ph.D.-granting institutions, where opportunities for research are limited. The students selected will be integrated into the research of participating faculty members and will be expected to perform like beginning graduate students. The hands-on experience in the laboratory will be supplemented by informal faculty-student discussions and weekly seminars. The program will culminate with oral and written presentations of the students' research. Weekly pizza lunches, two picnics, and a banquet will facilitate social and scientific interaction. Based on past experience, the program is expected to stimulate students to pursue careers in science.
