An interdisciplinary team of investigators carry out anundergraduate training initiative at Arizona State University. The training plan intimately combines new cross-disciplinarycourses and summer research programs. The former are constructedto allow maximal participation among undergraduate cadres, andfacilitate life science majors to achieve a minor in mathematics,and, likewise, mathematics majors to enrich their education witha minor in bioscience. The summer research program is acompetitive enterprise involving at least eight ASU facultymembers from life sciences, mathematics, and biophysics. Research projects span modeling of ecological and evolutionaryprocesses through the new lens of stoichiometric constraints,bio-economics, chemostat theory, and modeling of visualperception. This project has potential to make broad impact in bothlocal and global education environs. Regarding the former, theASU UBM team is truly interdisciplinary, with members inmathematics, biology and biophysics, exceptionally well suitedfor interdisciplinary training for undergraduates in biologicaland mathematical sciences. Its collaborative efforts can provideundergraduate and graduate students of diverse ethnic/racialbackgrounds with first-hand educational experience incross-disciplinary communication and exploration. As for globalimpact, the proposed holistic approach (involving mathematicalbiology courses at various levels and summer research projects)in mathematical biology training can vertically integrate all thecomponents in the ASU education system. It is therefore expectedthat this proposed program may yield many invaluable lessons toserve mathematical bioscience education and research nationwide,enriching the experience for the next generation of students inthis integrative and interdisciplinary scientific endeavor.

一个跨学科的调查人员团队在亚利桑那州立大学开展了Andundergraded培训计划。该培训计划与新的跨学科库尔西斯和夏季研究计划结合在一起。 前者是为了在本科干部中最大程度地参与，并为生命科学专业的专业提供了数学的辅修专业，并且同样，数学专业的专业人士可以通过生物科学的小学来丰富他们的教育。 夏季研究计划是竞争性的企业，其中涉及至少八个来自生命科学，数学和生物物理学的ASU教职员工。研究项目通过化学计量限制，生物经济学，化学稳定理论和VisualPerception的建模进行新的生态和进化过程建模。 该项目有可能对Boslocal和全球教育环境产生广泛影响。 关于前者，Theasu UBM团队确实是跨学科的，成员具有隔离学，生物学和生物物理学，非常适合用于生物学和数学科学的本科生跨学科培训。 它的协作努力可以为各种种族/种族背景的学生和研究生提供第一手教育经验，并获得学科的交流和探索。 至于GlobalImpact，在数学生物学培训中，提出的整体方法（涉及各个层面和夏季研究项目的数学生物学课程）可以垂直整合在ASU教育系统中的所有组件。 因此，预计该计划的计划可能会在全国范围内获得许多宝贵的课程，并在全国范围内进行了数学生物科学教育和研究，从而丰富了下一代学生在这一综合和跨学科科学努力中的经验。
