VERMONT INBRE: UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 我们继续提供有竞争力的资金，支持我们5所本科合作院校的本科生进行暑期研究。这些学生在自己的家乡机构与教员研究顾问一起工作。本科生被邀请参加VGN职业日，并在完成研究后的职业日展示他们的工作。今年，我们资助了10名学生在生物系、心理学系、化学和生物化学系和联合健康科学系的5个BPI的所有5个系工作。所有10名学生都在2009年4月15日第八届VGN职业生涯日上展示了海报。 一个由获得学士学位的合作院校的教师组成的审查委员会审查学生提交的申请，并提出获奖建议。向学生提供评论，以便他们更熟悉同行评议过程。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. We have continued to offer competitive funding to support summer research by undergraduate students from our 5 baccalaureate partner institutions. The students work at their home institutions with faculty research advisors. The undergraduate students are invited to VGN Career Days and are expected to present their work at the Career Day that follows the completion of their research. This year we funded 10 students to work at all 5 of the 5 BPI's in departments of Biology, Psychology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Allied Health Sciences. All 10 students presented posters at the 8th Annual VGN Career Day on April 15, 2009. A review committee of faculty from the baccalaureate partner institutions reviews the applications that are submitted by the students and make recommendations for awards. The students are provided with a critique so that they will become more familiar with the peer review process.
