REU Site: Collaborative Research: Genomics and Computational Biology

这REU网站奖给格鲁吉亚（UGA）位于雅典，佐治亚州和克拉克亚特兰大大学（CAU），在亚特兰大，佐治亚州的大学，将支持10名学生的培训10周在2014年至2018年的夏天。这个14岁的计划，开始作为UGA和CAU之间的合作伙伴关系，侧重于基因组学，计算生物学和表观遗传学-及其在系统生物学的新领域的整合。预计参与者将做全职实验室研究，以及参加研讨会和各种讲习班，如科学，系统生物学，分子遗传学研究，在工业和学术界的职业机会，以及研究生院申请过程中的负责任的行为。REU参与者可以使用丰富的个人导师设施，以及许多跨部门的实验室和中心，这些实验室和中心具有质谱分析，微阵列分析，下一代测序，核磁共振等核心设施。导师来自各个部门，包括遗传学，生物化学和分子生物学，计算机科学，物理学和天文学，植物生物学和植物病理学。该计划的招聘工作是通过http://www.genetics.uga.edu/FGCB和访问亚特兰大大学中心的克拉克亚特兰大大学，莫尔豪斯学院，斯佩尔曼学院以及堡谷州立大学。参与者是根据学术成绩，研究表现，并在基因组学，计算生物学和表观遗传学的杰出研究的潜力由来自UGA和CAU的教师导师委员会选择。学生参与者被跟踪，以确定他们对研究的学术领域，他们的职业道路，以及研究经验的持久影响的持续兴趣。该计划的成功将通过各种手段进行评估，包括使用REU共同评估（SALG URSSA）。这个网站的目的是增加在生物，物理和数学科学研究生学习的代表性不足的群体的参与。预计至少有50名学生，其中许多来自代表性不足的群体和研究机会有限的大学，将在该计划的5年内接受培训。学生需要在课程结束后进行跟踪，并必须通过NSF报告系统自动发送电子邮件。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.genetics.uga.edu/FGCB，或联系PI（Jonathan Arnold博士，arnold@uga.edu）或共同PI（大卫洛根博士，dlogan@cau.edu）。

This REU Site award to the University of Georgia (UGA) located in Athens, GA, and Clark Atlanta University (CAU), in Atlanta, GA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2014- 2018. This 14-year old program, begun as a partnership between UGA and CAU, focuses on genomics, computational biology, and epigenetics -- and their integration in the new area of systems biology. Participants are expected to do full-time lab research as well as participate in seminars and various workshops, such as the responsible conduct of science, systems biology, molecular genetics research, career opportunities in industry and academia, and the graduate school application process. REU participants have access to a rich array of individual mentor's facilities as well as many interdepartmental laboratories and centers with core facilities for mass spectrometry, microarray analysis, next generation sequencing, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc. Mentors are drawn from a variety of departments including Genetics, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Computer Science, Physics and Astronomy, Plant Biology, and Plant Pathology. The program's recruitment effort is through http://www.genetics.uga.edu/FGCB and visits to the Atlanta University Center of Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Spellman College as well as Fort Valley State University. Participants are selected based on academic record, research performance, and potential for outstanding research in genomics, computational biology, and epigenetics by a committee of faculty mentors from UGA and CAU. Student participants are tracked to determine their continued interest in their academic field of study, their career paths, and the lasting influences of the research experience. Success of the program will be assessed by various means, including use of the REU common assessment (SALG URSSA). This site is designed to increase participation of under-represented groups in graduate study in the biological, physical, and mathematical sciences. It is expected that at least 50 students, many from underrepresented groups and from colleges with limited opportunities for research, will be trained over the 5 years of the program. Students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.
