Iowa State University will initiate a 4-week residential Young Scholars project for 20 students in grades 8-9 in molecular biology. This four-week enrichment program in molecular biology stresses both content instruction and science practice through laboratory experimentation utilizing research techniques and equipment. Twenty 8th and 9th graders will spend a minimum of 20 hours a week in the laboratory, carrying out experiments and developing research skills. Lectures covering relevant topics in chemistry, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, and biotechnology provide the background for the laboratory sessions. Participants design, execute, and present the results of an independent project in a public forum. Career exploration is emphasized through interactions with scientists, visits to industrial laboratories, and career planning exercises. Participants are encouraged to continue independent study through a quarterly newsletter. Research incentive grants are available and assistance is given in presenting papers at science fairs and symposia.

爱荷华州立大学将启动一个为期4周的居住年轻学者项目，为20年级的分子生物学8 - 9年级的学生启动。 这项为期四周的分子生物学富集计划通过研究技术和设备通过实验室实验强调内容指导和科学实践。 二十八和9年级的学生每周至少要在实验室花费20个小时，进行实验并发展研究技能。 涵盖化学，生物化学，细胞和分子生物学以及生物技术方面的相关主题的讲座为实验室课程提供了背景。 参与者在公共论坛中设计，执行并介绍一个独立项目的结果。 通过与科学家的互动，对工业实验室的访问和职业规划练习来强调职业探索。 鼓励参与者继续通过季度新闻通讯继续独立研究。 可以提供研究激励赠款，并在科学博览会和研讨会上介绍论文时提供了帮助。
