Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Molecular Biology

亚利桑那大学（UA）将开展本科生研究经验计划（REU），旨在通过让学生参与研究来教授他们科学。该计划的具体重点是分子生物科学-应用生物化学和分子生物学技术来解决生物问题。全国招募的学生将参加亚利桑那大学校园的暑期研究。将特别注意确定来自科学领域代表性不足的少数民族群体的学生，以及那些在本国机构几乎没有机会获得研究经验的学生。参与的学生将在夏季工作12周。REU的学生将与参与的教师匹配，并将在决定他们进入哪个实验室方面拥有主要发言权。除了定期的实验室会议，他们还将参加为期两天的培训，内容包括实验室安全和研究伦理介绍，在夏季开始时，他们将参加每周一次的REU学生小组会议，与项目负责人和共同负责人会面。REU小组会议将使学生能够发展专业技能，例如展示研究成果，并将以准备，申请和选择研究生课程为特色。此外，学生还参加由UA和访问科学家举办的有关科学主题的研讨会。实地考察生物圈二号和亚利桑那索诺兰沙漠博物馆等地将补充研究经验。这个暑假将在学生们分享他们的实验结果的海报会议上达到高潮。UBRP主任卡罗尔·本德是联络人。电话：520-621-9348，电子邮件：bender@email.arizona.edu。关于这个网站的更多信息可以在本科生物学研究计划（UBRP）网站上找到：http://www.blc.arizona.edu/ubrp

The University of Arizona (UA) will conduct a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program (REU) designed to teach students science by involving them in research. The specific focus of the program is molecular biosciences - the application of biochemical and molecular biological techniques to biological problems. Students recruited nationally will participate in summer research on the University of Arizona Campus. Particular attention will be paid to identifying students from ethnic minority groups underrepresented in the sciences and those who have little opportunity for research experience at their home institution. Participating students will work for 12 weeks during the summer. REU students will be matched with participating faculty and will have a major voice in determining which lab they enter. In addition to regular lab meetings, they will participate in a two day orientation covering lab safety and an introduction to research ethics at the beginning of the summer followed by weekly REU student group meetings with the project PI and co-PI. The REU group meetings will enable students to develop professional skills, such as presentation of research results, and will feature presentations on preparing for, applying to, and selecting a graduate program. In addition, students attend seminars by UA and visiting scientists on relevant scientific topics. Field trips to places such as the Biosphere II and the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum will supplement the research experience. The summer will culminate in a poster session at which students share their experimental results.Carol Bender, UBRP Director, is the contact person.
