REU Site: Program in Molecular Biosciences

位于科罗拉多柯林斯堡的科罗拉多州立大学获得REU Site奖，将在2015-2017年夏季支持10名学生进行为期10周的培训。学生将参加一个项目，使他们接触到构成现代生物化学和分子生物学学科的广泛研究领域和方法。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，分析结果，并使用最先进的技术和仪器。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、研究道德行为和科学职业的研讨会。该计划将使用BIO REU站点通用评估工具来获得反馈和评估数据，以改进我们的REU计划和所有REU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。预计共有30名学生将在该计划中接受培训，这些学生主要来自研究机会有限的学校。学生们将学习研究是如何进行的，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。学生们被要求在项目结束后进行跟踪，并必须回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.bmb.colostate.edu/undergraduates/reu/program-description/，，或联系保罗·莱伯恩博士(保罗·莱伯恩博士，电子邮件：Paul.Laybourn@colstate.edu)、联席国际(P.Shing Ho博士，电子邮件：Shing.Ho@colstate.edu)，或斯塔西巴西-英格兰人，电话：970491-5602，电子邮件：reuBiochem@colstate.edu。

This REU Site award to Colorado State University, located in Fort Collins, CO, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2015- 2017. Students will participate in a program that exposes them to a broad range of research areas and approaches that constitute the modern discipline of 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, and use state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation. 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, 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 our REU program and all REU programs. Students with limited opportunities for research and those from groups under-represented in science are especially encouraged to apply. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences.Students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.
