REU Site: Research & Training in Multidisciplinary field of Regenerative Sciences for Undergraduates

这个REU网站奖给亚拉巴马州立大学（ASU），位于蒙哥马利，AL，将支持10名学生在2021年至2023年的夏天10周的培训。该计划的重点是为本科生提供“再生科学多学科领域的研究培训”。 预计共有30名学生，主要来自代表性不足的少数群体和研究机会有限的学校，将在该方案中接受培训。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。培训是针对学生谁希望追求更高的程度在干领域。通过拟议项目取得的科学进步将大大增加拟议领域的知识。将使用一个基于网络的共同评估SALG URSSA工具来确定培训方案的有效性。课程结束后将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。学生项目将围绕再生科学，生物医学工程和发育生物学的基本主题进行组织，沿着微生物研究和免疫反应研究。来自生物科学，生物医学工程，化学和物理科学系的教师将担任该计划的导师。学生将参加一个全职的密切指导的实验室研究项目沿着研讨会，实地考察，专业发展研讨会，负责任的研究行为，在学术界和工业界的职业机会，以及研究生院的应用程序。学生们将在该计划的最后一周的研讨会上展示他们的发现。学生还将在课程期间以手稿形式提交他们项目的科学报告。将提供住房、津贴、膳食和旅行津贴。特别鼓励来自代表性不足的少数群体和研究机会有限的大学的学生申请。学生将根据他们对研究的兴趣，学习成绩，来自家乡机构的推荐信以及与潜在教师导师的电话面试进行选择。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http://www.alasu.edu/academics/研究中心/reu计划和http://bioreu-alasu.org，或联系PI（Komal Vig博士，komalvig@alasu.edu;电话334-604-8189）或共同PI（Shree R.博士）。Singh在ssingh@alasu.edu）。该奖项由生物科学理事会（BIO）的生物基础设施部（DBI）和工程理事会（ENG）的工程教育和中心部（EEC）支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This REU Site award to Alabama State University (ASU), located in Montgomery, AL, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2021- 2023. The focus of this program is to provide “Research & Training in Multidisciplinary field of Regenerative Sciences for Undergraduates”. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from underrepresented minority groups and 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 training is aimed at students who desires to pursue a higher degree in STEM fields. The scientific advances made through the proposed projects will significantly enhance knowledge in the proposed field. A common web-based assessment SALG URSSA tool 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.The student projects will be organized around the fundamental themes of regenerative sciences, biomedical engineering, and developmental biology along with microbial studies and immune response studies. Faculty from the Departments of Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, and Physical Sciences will serve as mentors for the program. Students will participate in a full-time closely mentored lab research project along with seminars, field trips, professional development workshops, responsible conduct of research, career opportunities in academia and industry, and the graduate school application process. Students will present their findings at a symposium during the final week of the program. Student will also submit a scientific report of their project in a manuscript format during the program. Housing, a stipend, meal and travel allowances will be provided. Students from underrepresented minority groups and from colleges with limited research opportunities are especially encouraged to apply. Students will be selected based on their interest in research, academic record, recommendation letters from their home institutions and phone interviews with potential faculty mentors.
