REU Site: NSF REU in Molecular Biosciences

该REU网站奖授予位于加利福尼亚州旧金山的加州大学旧金山分校（UCSF），将在2017- 2019年夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的培训。UCSF REU项目的重点是识别，招聘和准备优秀的本科生进行基础科学博士培训。学生在分子生物学，生物化学，遗传学和发育生物学领域进行研究，以及研究生申请准备，职业和专业发展规划。一个经验丰富的教师委员会根据卓越的学习成绩和对基础研究的浓厚兴趣挑选学生，重点关注来自弱势背景的学生。预计总共将有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该项目中接受培训。学生将学习如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作成果。绝大多数的加州大学旧金山分校？REU的校友在全国竞争最激烈、要求最高的院校攻读研究生教育，每年都有几名学生参加加州大学旧金山分校的项目。由生物基础设施部资助的所有REU站点计划使用的通用网络评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。课程结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。学生将被要求回复通过NSF报告系统自动发送的电子邮件。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http://graduate.ucsf.edu/srtp，或与PI （Carol Gross博士cgrossucsf@gmail.com）或联合PI （Hana El-Samad博士Helsamad@gmail.com）联系。

This REU Site award to the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), located in San Francisco, CA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2019. The focus of the UCSF REU program is the identification, recruitment and preparation of exceptional undergraduates for doctoral training in the Basic Sciences. Students undertake research in the fields of Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics and Developmental Biology, along with graduate application preparation, and career and professional development programming. An experienced faculty committee selects students based on exceptional academic performance and keen interest in basic research, with a focus on students from disadvantaged backgrounds. 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. The vast majority of UCSF?s REU alumni pursue graduate education at institutions that are among the most highly competitive and demanding in the country, and every year several students join UCSF programs.A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU Site programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.
