This REU Site award to The University of North Carolina located in Chapel Hill, NC, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2016 - 2018. The REU Program in Molecular Biosciences at UNC-Chapel Hill provides students the opportunity to carry out independent research projects under the guidance of faculty mentors in biochemistry, microbiology, cell biology, genetics, and structural biology. Students work side-by-side with graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty who serve as role models and mentors. Participants discover how modern biological research is formulated, carried out, and reported in an environment that stresses collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving. Students acquire skills critical to success in research and teaching careers and to gain entry to competitive graduate programs. Making informed career choices is a major theme of the Program; participants hear about careers and lifestyles in forums with scientists inside and outside of academia and with current graduate students and post-doctoral fellows at UNC. The journal club and seminar program expose students to emerging areas of research and provide insight into the scientific method. The program culminates with all students presenting their work at an annual Summer Research Symposium. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities, will be trained in the program. Preference is given to students with little prior independent research experience, however all talented undergraduates with a genuine desire to pursue a career in biological research and teaching are encouraged to apply. First generation college students and students from groups under-represented in the sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure (Directorate for Biological Sciences) will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine student career paths. Students will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. Program information and application instructions are available at http://www.med.unc.edu/oge/stad/sure . For questions contact the PI (Dr. Tom Kawula at [e-mail]).

在北卡罗来纳州教堂山的北卡罗来纳大学的REU网站奖将在2016年至2018年的夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。UNC -CHAPEL HILL的REU分子生物科学计划为学生提供了在生物化学，细胞学，结构学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，基因，遗传学，遗传学，基因，遗传学，遗传学，遗传学，基因和结构。学生与研究生，博士后研究员和教师并肩工作，担任榜样和导师。参与者发现如何在强调协作和跨学科解决问题的环境中制定，进行和报道现代生物学研究。学生获得对研究和教学职业成功至关重要的技能，并进入竞争研究生课程。做出明智的职业选择是该计划的主要主题；参与者在学术界内外的科学家以及现任研究生和UNC的博士后研究员中听到了有关论坛的职业和生活方式。期刊俱乐部和研讨会计划使学生接触新兴领域的研究领域，并洞悉科学方法。该计划最终在所有夏季研究研讨会上介绍他们的作品的所有学生都达到顶峰。 预计总共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校，将在该计划中接受培训。偏爱以前几乎没有独立研究经验的学生，但是所有有才华的本科生真正渴望从事生物学研究和教学职业的渴望。强烈鼓励申请第一代大学生和来自科学中代表性不足的小组的学生。所有由生物基础设施部（生物科学局）资助的所有REU计划使用的常见基于Web的评估工具将用于确定培训计划的有效性。为了确定学生职业道路，将在计划之后跟踪学生。将要求学生回复通过NSF报告系统发送的自动电子邮件。程序信息和应用程序说明可在http://www.med.unc.edu/oge/stad/sure上获得。 有关问题，请与PI联系（tom kawula博士，[e-mail]）。
