The Jackson Laboratory, a non-profit research institute in Bar Harbor, Maine, will conduct an internship program in functional genomics research for 10 undergraduate students within the framework of its existing Summer Student Program. The 11-week summer program - titled "REU Site: Functional Genomics Research Projects for Undergraduates" - will offer students hands-on training in interdisciplinary approaches linking the biological, physical, and computational sciences to investigations of genome function. Each student will perform an independent, hypothesis-driven research project as a member of a team under the mentorship of a Ph.D.-level, grant-funded principal investigator. Students will be selected through a competitive nationwide application process that will represent a diverse group with respect to gender, ethnicity, and economic background. Under-represented groups are encouraged to apply and will be actively recruited. Jackson's institutional commitment to the REU program includes providing students with access to intellectual and research resources such as courses and conferences, state-of-the-art instrumentation, and bioinformatics databases; dedicated program direction by the Education Office; and housing in an oceanfront dormitory overseen by professional staff. Jackson offers a stimulating environment in which undergraduates with a passion for hands-on experimental science can contribute to real research progress and make great strides in intellectual and personal growth. Point-of-contact is Dr. Jon R. Geiger, at [phone] or [e-mail]. Additional information and an application are available on-line at http://www.jax.org/education/ssp.html.

缅因州巴港（Bar Harbour）的非营利性研究所杰克逊实验室（Jackson Laboratory）将在其现有夏季学生计划的框架内针对10名本科生的功能基因组研究实习计划。为期11周的夏季计划 - 标题为“ REU网站：针对本科生的功能基因组学研究项目” - 将为学生提供跨学科方法的动手培训，将生物学，物理和计算科学与基因组功能的研究联系起来。每个学生将在博士学位，授予资助的首席研究员的指导下作为团队成员执行一个独立的，假设驱动的研究项目。将通过在全国范围内的竞争申请过程中选出学生，该过程将代表性别，种族和经济背景方面的多元化群体。鼓励代表性不足的团体申请，并将积极招募。杰克逊对REU计划的机构承诺包括为学生提供知识和研究资源的访问，例如课程和会议，最先进的仪器以及生物信息学数据库；教育办公室专门的计划指导；并在专业员工监督的海滨宿舍里住房。杰克逊（Jackson）提供了一个令人兴奋的环境，在这种环境中，对动手实验科学充满热情的大学生可以为真正的研究进步做出贡献，并在智力和个人成长方面取得了长足的进步。接触点是Jon R.
