REU Site: Integrated Research at the Frontiers of the Biological, Physical, and Engineering Sciences

耶鲁大学被授予本科生研究体验(REU)SITES奖，在2012-2014年间，每年夏季将为8名学生提供为期10周的研究培训。该计划重点关注生命科学中的重大挑战，使用跨学科的物理和定量方法。该项目包括来自耶鲁大学雷蒙德和贝弗利·萨克勒生物、物理和工程科学研究所的12名教师导师。该研究所下设六个系：生物医学工程、化学与环境工程、机械工程与材料科学、分子生物物理与生物化学、分子、细胞与发育生物学以及物理学。在与项目领导团队协商后，学生从三个领域选择导师和研究项目：(A)细胞过程的力学，(B)蛋白质功能和错误折叠，以及(C)综合研究的技术和方法开发。学生还参加关于实验室方法、科学陈述、伦理、STEM职业和研究生院招生过程的研讨会和研讨会。学生们在耶鲁大学由NSF资助的CEMRI CRISP REU项目协调的研究研讨会上展示了他们的工作。学生还可以利用项目范围内的社交活动，为建立人际关系提供论坛。学生的选择是基于他们的学习成绩、研究兴趣和他们未来的职业规划。鼓励研究机会有限的学生和来自代表性不足群体的学生申请。该项目特别适合对跨学科领域进行研究感兴趣的学生。该计划的评估和评估将包括暑期前和暑期后的调查、学生访谈和REU通用评估工具。将使用基于网络的数据库对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.sackler.yale.edu/summer.htm，，或联系国际和平组织(Corey S.O‘Hern教授，电子邮件：corey.ohern@yale.edu)或联合国际组织(Lynne Regan教授，电子邮件：lynne.regan@yale.edu)。

A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Sites award has been made to Yale University that will provide research training for 8 students for 10 weeks each summer, during the period 2012-2014. The program focuses on grand challenges in the life sciences using interdisciplinary physical and quantitative approaches. The program includes more than twelve faculty mentors from Yale's Raymond and Beverly Sackler Institute for Biological, Physical, and Engineering Sciences. The Institute spans six departments: Biomedical Engineering, Chemical & Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry, Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, and Physics. In consultation with the program leadership team, students choose a mentor and research project from three areas: (A) mechanics of cellular processes, (B) protein function and misfolding, and (C) technology and method development for integrated research. Students also participate in workshops and seminars on laboratory methods, scientific presentations, ethics, STEM careers, and graduate school admissions process. Students present their work at a research symposium coordinated with the NSF-funded CEMRI CRISP REU program at Yale. Students also can take advantage of program-wide social activities that provide a forum for networking. Students are selected based on their academic performance, research interests, and their future career plans. Students with limited opportunities for research and those from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. The program is particularly suited for students interested in conducting research in interdisciplinary areas. The evaluation and assessment of the program will consist of pre- and post-summer surveys, student interviews, and the REU common assessment tool. Students will be tracked to determine their career paths, using a web-based database.

O'Hern at corey.ohern@yale.edu) or the co-PI (Prof. Lynne Regan at lynne.regan@yale.edu).
