REU Site Research Experience Undergraduates

项目摘要

This REU Site award to the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC), located in New Orleans, LA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2017- 2019. The program seeks undergraduates from diverse backgrounds who wish to pursue future research careers in the biological sciences. The program prepares students to become proficient in 1.) genetic and biochemical concepts using in vivo and in vitro model organisms; 2.) scientific hard-skills (hypothesis-driven scientific problem solving, methodology, data analysis and interpretation, scientific communication); 3.) workforce soft-skills (time management, teamwork, learning the politics of the workplace, and explaining science to a lay audience); and 4.) networking and career development. The program will provide one-on-one mentoring with faculty from the LSUHSC Basic Sciences Departments and Centers. Interactive workshops include topics such as resume writing and responsible conduct in research. Sample projects include the study of the proteins responsible for DNA repair, the cell cycle, and signal transduction; the regulation of transcription factors through phosphorylation; genome analysis using bioinformatics; and an analysis of microRNA processing. Student selection is based on academic record, recommendation letters, research interest, and career potential. 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. As part of the program, students will present their projects to partnering New Orleans area middle and high school science classes while serving as role models to younger generations of potential scientists.A common web-based assessment tool used by all REU Site programs funded by the Division of Biological Infrastructure will be used to determine the effectiveness of the training program. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths, and will be asked to respond to an automatic email sent via the NSF reporting system. More information is available by visiting http://www.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/genetics/reu.aspx or by contacting the PI/Director (Dr. Fern Tsien at fmille@lsuhsc.edu) or the co-directors (Dr. Allison Augustus-Wallace awall1@lsuhsc.edu or Dr. Hamilton Farris HFarri@lsuhsc.edu).

该 REU 站点授予位于路易斯安那州新奥尔良的路易斯安那州立大学健康科学中心 (LSUHSC)，将支持 10 名学生在 2017 年至 2019 年夏季进行为期 10 周的培训。该计划寻求来自不同背景的本科生，他们希望追求未来生物科学领域的研究事业。该课程帮助学生精通 1.) 使用体内和体外模型生物体的遗传和生化概念； 2.) 科学硬技能（假设驱动的科学问题解决、方法论、数据分析和解释、科学传播）； 3.) 员工软技能（时间管理、团队合作、学习工作场所政治以及向非专业观众解释科学）； 4.) 人际网络和职业发展。该计划将为 LSUHSC 基础科学系和中心的教师提供一对一的指导。互动研讨会包括简历写作和负责任的研究行为等主题。示例项目包括研究负责 DNA 修复、细胞周期和信号转导的蛋白质；通过磷酸化调节转录因子；使用生物信息学进行基因组分析；以及 microRNA 加工的分析。学生的选择基于学术记录、推荐信、研究兴趣和职业潜力。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成果。作为该计划的一部分，学生将向新奥尔良地区的初中和高中科学课程合作伙伴展示他们的项目，同时充当年轻一代潜在科学家的榜样。由 REU 资助的所有 REU 站点项目都使用的通用网络评估工具生物基础设施部门将用于确定培训计划的有效性。项目结束后将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路，并要求回复通过 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.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/genics/reu.aspx 或联系 PI/主任（Fern Tsien 博士，fmille@lsuhsc.edu）或联席主任（Dr. Fern Tsien，fmille@lsuhsc.edu）。 Allison Augustus-Wallace awall1@lsuhsc.edu 或 Hamilton Farris HFarri@lsuhsc.edu 博士）。
