This award provides funds to the Department of Biological Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University to continue a successful Research Experiences for Undergraduate SITE. The Department conducts research in cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, developmental biology, biochemistry and biophysics. Each student will carry out an original research project devised by a faculty mentor who is a leader in his or her area of expertise. Students will also attend a special seminar series and workshops ranging from honor in science to applying to graduate school, and present the results of their research at a concluding symposium. Students will be recruited from colleges and universities all over the United States. Special efforts will be made to recruit students from liberal arts colleges and the recruitment of a significant number of minority students and women is a major goal. Selection of students will be based upon academic criteria (SAT or ACT scores), letters of recommendation, as well as the students' stated interest in research. For the 1992 summer research program, the CMU administration has pledged $30,000 in supplemental university funds. These funds will be used to support an increased number of student participants. The number of participants in 1992 will be approximately 15 to 18.

该奖项为卡内基·梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon University）的生物科学系提供了资金，以继续为本科生提供成功的研究经验。 该系在细胞生物学，遗传学，分子生物学，发育生物学，生物化学和生物物理学方面进行研究。 每个学生将执行一个原始的研究项目，该项目由一位教师导师设计，后者是其专业知识领域的领导者。 学生还将参加一个特别的研讨会系列和讲习班，从荣誉科学到申请研究生院，并在结束的研讨会上介绍他们的研究结果。 学生将从美国各地的大学招募。 将做出特别的努力，以招募文科学院的学生，并招募大量少数族裔学生和女性是一个主要目标。 选择学生将基于学术标准（SAT或ACT分数），推荐信以及学生对研究的兴趣。 对于1992年的夏季研究计划，CMU管理局已承诺获得30,000美元的补充大学资金。 这些资金将用于支持更多的学生参与者。 1992年的参与者人数约为15至18。
