This REU Site award to Colorado State University, located in Fort Collins, CO, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2015- 2017. Students will participate in a program that exposes them to a broad range of research areas and approaches that constitute the modern discipline of biochemistry and molecular biology. Students will be involved in their own research project where they learn how to formulate and test hypotheses, design and execute experiments, analyze results, and use state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation. Students receive a stipend, free housing in a university residence hall or apartment building, a meal allowance, and an allowance to defray travel to/from the site. At the end of the program, students will present their research results orally and through a poster, and produce a final report in manuscript form. In addition to research, students will engage in activities that will enhance their knowledge of the environment such as an educational hike in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Field trips to nearby government labs and biotech companies as well as workshops on GRE preparation, ethical conduct of research and scientific careers are also planned. The program will use the BIO REU Sites common assessment tool to obtain feedback and assessment data for improving our REU program and all REU programs. Students with limited opportunities for research and those from groups under-represented in science are especially encouraged to apply. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences.Students are required to be tracked after the program and must respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system.

REU 授予位于科罗拉多州柯林斯堡的科罗拉多州立大学的场地奖将支持 10 名学生在 2015 年至 2017 年夏季进行为期 10 周的培训。学生将参加一个让他们接触广泛研究领域的项目以及构成生物化学和分子生物学现代学科的方法。学生将参与自己的研究项目，学习如何制定和测试假设、设计和执行实验、分析结果以及使用最先进的技术和仪器。学生可以获得津贴、大学宿舍或公寓楼的免费住宿、膳食津贴以及往返学校的交通津贴。在课程结束时，学生将口头和通过海报展示他们的研究成果，并以手稿形式提交最终报告。除了研究之外，学生还将参加一些活动，以增强他们对环境的了解，例如在落基山国家公园进行教育徒步旅行。还计划对附近的政府实验室和生物技术公司进行实地考察，并举办有关 GRE 准备、研究道德行为和科学职业的研讨会。该计划将使用 BIO REU 站点通用评估工具来获取反馈和评估数据，以改进我们的 REU 计划和所有 REU 计划。特别鼓励研究机会有限的学生和来自科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生申请。预计共有 30 名学生（主要来自研究机会有限的学校）将接受该计划的培训。学生将了解如何进行研究，许多人将在科学会议上展示他们的工作结果。学生需要在项目结束后进行跟踪，并且必须回复通过 NSF 报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。如需了解更多信息，请访问 http://www.bmb.colostate.edu/undergraduates/reu/program-description/，或联系 PI（Paul Laybourn 博士，邮箱为 [e-mail]）， PI（P.
