REU: Roswell Park Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates

罗斯威尔公园癌症研究所的NSF REU项目为高年级科学专业学生提供研究生院暑期研究经验。学生将参加一个具有挑战性的为期十周的项目，重点是分子生物学领域。将继续作出特别努力，征聘公认的任职人数不足的群体和妇女的成员。更重要的是，我们的目标是招收那些对从事科学事业感兴趣的本科生，他们可能来自那些没有积极研究项目的大学。资深教师担任导师。参与者通过做科学来学习科学。在资深教师的指导下，学生们将接触到科学家的真实生活。创造一种环境，使学生从被动的、依赖的学习者转变为研究团队的积极成员。研究所对本科生项目研究经验的承诺是真实的。该项目自1953年以来一直在持续运作，并成为其他暑期研究项目的典范。“科学的生活方式”在我们的各种研讨会/活动中得到进一步的探索，并在我们为期三天的科学小型会议中达到高潮。在这里，学生们向他们的同龄人和研究所的科学教师口头和海报展示他们的研究。其他的暑期经历包括参加我们著名的系列讲座、职业咨询会议和周末社交活动。

AbstractProposal #0098082The NSF REU Program at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute presents upper division science majors with pre-graduate school summer research experiences. Students will participate in a challenging ten week program focused in the area of molecular biology. Special efforts will continue to be made to recruit members of recognized under-represented groups and females. More importantly our goal is to recruit undergraduate students that are interested in pursuing scientific careers and may come from colleges that do not have active research programs. Senior faculty serve as mentors. Participants learn science by doing science. Under the tutelage of senior faculty, students are exposed to the realities of a life as a scientist. An environment is created in which the student evolves from a passive, dependent learner to an active member of the research team. The Institute's commitment to the Research Experience for Undergraduates Program is genuine. This program has been in continuous operation since 1953 and it has served as a model for other summer research programs. The "scientific lifestyle" is further explored throughout our program in various seminars/activities and culminates in our concluding three-day scientific mini-conference. This is where the students give oral and poster presentations of their research to their peers and the Institute's scientific faculty. Other summer experiences include attendance at our distinguished lecture series, career counseling sessions, and weekend social activities.
