REU Site: CSHL NSF-REU Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Summer Undergraduate Program

冷泉港实验室（CSHL）的REU站点将通过生物科学（BIO），数学与物理科学（MPS）以及计算机与信息科学与工程（CISE）的支持，在2009-2011年夏季为本科生提供研究计划。六名学生将被选中参加为期10周的生物信息学研究项目。REU计划是CSHL一个更大的暑期本科生研究计划（URP）的一部分，为学生提供了一个机会，通过在导师的监督下进行深入的研究来学习生物信息学和计算生物学。学生学习科学推理、实验方法、理论原理和科学交流。除了研究之外，参与者还参加研讨会、讲习班、关于科学职业的小组讨论、关于道德的讲座以及专门为他们设计的特别活动。在每年夏末举行的研究计划研讨会上，学生们向他们的同龄人和导师展示他们的研究摘要。学生还要写一份期末报告，类似于科学摘要，来描述他或她的项目。此外，我们亦鼓励学生参加中心的高级课程，学习不同领域的最新实验技术，并就未来的学习和研究征求意见。在课程结束时，学生们已经准备好决定科学研究是否是他们想要追求的职业。该计划向所有美国公民或永久居民开放，并鼓励来自代表性不足的少数群体的申请。欲了解更多信息，请访问www.cshl.edu/URP/nsf-reu，或联系沃森生物科学学院，电话：516-367-6911或urpadmin@cshl.edu，或项目主任大卫·杰克逊博士，电话：jacksond@cshl.org（电话：516-367-8467）。

The REU Site at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) will provide a research program for undergraduates during the summers of 2009-2011, through support provided by the Directorates for Biological Sciences (BIO), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), and Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE). Six students will be selected to participate in a 10-week research program in bioinformatics. The REU program is part of a larger summer Undergraduate Research Program (URP) at CSHL, providing an opportunity for students to learn about bioinformatics and computational biology by conducting intensive research under the supervision of a mentor. Students learn about scientific reasoning, laboratory methods, theoretical principles, and scientific communication. In addition to research, participants attend seminars, workshops, panel discussions on careers in science, lectures on ethics, and special events designed specifically for them. At the URP Symposium held at the end of each summer, students present a summary of their research to their peers and advisors. Students also write a final report, similar to a scientific abstract, to describe his or her project. Students are also encouraged to attend advanced courses at CSHL to learn the latest experimental techniques in different fields and to seek advice about their future schooling and research. By the end of the program, students are well equipped to decide whether scientific research is a career they would like to pursue. The program is open to all US citizens or permanent residents, and applications from under-represented minority groups are encouraged.
