REU Site: Program in Molecular Biosciences

科罗拉多州立大学被授予继续REU现场项目的奖励，该项目将在2012-2014年夏季为10名本科生提供为期10周的研究培训。学生将参加一个项目，让他们接触到生物化学和分子生物学的广泛研究领域和方法。学生将与自然科学学院(生物化学和分子生物学)的导师合作。学生将参与自己的研究项目，学习如何制定和测试假设，设计和执行实验，在假设的背景下分析结果，并使用最先进的技术和仪器。与教师、研究生、博士后研究员和专业研究人员的互动为学习生物化学和分子生物学的最新进展提供了一种机制。学生们获得津贴，免费提供大学宿舍或公寓楼的住房，伙食津贴，以及支付往返现场的交通费。在项目结束时，学生将口头和通过海报展示他们的研究成果，并以手稿的形式制作最终报告。除了研究，学生们还将参与一些活动，以增进他们对环境的了解，例如在落基山国家公园进行一次教育性徒步旅行。还计划对附近的政府实验室和生物技术公司进行实地考察，以及关于GRE准备、研究的伦理行为和科学职业的研讨会。该计划将使用BIO REU场地通用评估工具来获得反馈和评估数据，以改进该计划。特别鼓励那些研究机会有限的学生和那些在科学领域代表性不足的学生申请。如需更多信息，请访问http://www.bmb.colostate.edu/reu.cfm，或联系伊冯·布里奇曼，电话：970491-5602，电子邮件：reuBiochem@colstate.edu，或项目主任保罗·莱伯恩，电话：970491-5100，电子邮件：Paul.Laybourn@colstate.edu。

An award has been made to Colorado State University to continue an REU Site program that will provide research training for ten undergraduates for 10 weeks, during the summers of 2012-2014. Students will participate in a program that exposes them to a broad range of research areas and approaches in biochemistry and molecular biology. Students will work with mentors from College of Natural Sciences (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology). Students will be involved in their own research project where they learn how to formulate and test hypotheses, design and execute experiments, analyze results in the context of the hypothesis, and use state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation. Interactions with faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professional research staff provide a mechanism for learning about the latest advances in biochemistry and molecular biology. Students receive a stipend, free housing in a university residence hall or apartment building, a meal allowance, and an allowance to defray travel to/from the site. At the end of the program, students will present their research results orally and through a poster, and produce a final report in manuscript form. In addition to research, students will engage in activities that will enhance their knowledge of the environment such as an educational hike in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Field trips to nearby government labs and biotech companies as well as workshops on GRE preparation, the ethical conduct of research, and scientific careers are also planned. The program will use the BIO REU Sites common assessment tool to obtain feedback and assessment data for improving the program. Students with limited opportunities for research and those from groups under-represented in science are especially encouraged to apply.
