This REU program at Ohio State University (OSU) will immerse students in an intense yet rewarding 10-week research experience that allows them to discover firsthand the excitement of science. Research projects will involve molecular-genetic and biochemical approaches to problems in biology. After an initial one-week laboratory workshop, which will provide students with a set of basic technical skills, REU participants will spend the next nine weeks working in one of the participating laboratories. Students will investigate a specific research problem and will be encouraged to develop independence in planning and interpreting experiments. At the end of the summer, they will write a summary of their experimental results and present them in a poster format. Students will also attend journal clubs, workshops, and field trips to explore and discuss (i) research, (ii) career options in science, (iii) cutting-edge technology at OSU and in surrounding biotechnology centers, and (iv) ethical issues that they are likely to face as scientists and as citizens. To promote interactions in relaxed settings, there are planned biweekly social events. Students will be recruited from institutions that focus primarily on undergraduate education. Students from groups under-represented in science are strongly encouraged to apply. Indicators of promise, other than GPA, will be taken into serious consideration in selecting participants.

俄亥俄州立大学（OSU）的REU计划将使学生沉迷于一项激烈而有意义的10周研究经验，使他们能够亲眼目睹科学的兴奋。 研究项目将涉及生物学问题的分子遗传学和生化方法。 在最初的为期一周的实验室研讨会（将为学生提供一系列基本技术技能）之后，REU参与者将在接下来的九个星期里在一个参与的实验室中工作。 学生将研究一个特定的研究问题，并鼓励在计划和解释实验方面发展独立性。 在夏季结束时，他们将摘要他们的实验结果，并以海报格式呈现。 学生还将参加期刊俱乐部，研讨会和实地考察，以探索和讨论（i）研究，（ii）科学方面的职业选择，（iii）在OSU和周围生物技术中心的尖端技术，以及（iv）他们可能会面对科学家和公民的道德问题。 为了促进轻松环境中的互动，有计划的每两周社交活动。将从主要关注本科教育的机构中招募学生。强烈鼓励来自科学不足的小组的学生申请。除GPA以外的承诺指标将在选择参与者时认真考虑。 有关更多信息，请访问http://www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~mgmajors/html/mg_reu.html或通过联系Deborah Dotter（614）292-8084，[e-mail].eed.
