This REU Site award to the Genome Sciences Department at the University of Washington, located in Seattle, WA, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, from across the United States with limited research opportunities and/or from an underrepresented minority group will participate. Students will learn how research is conducted and will present their findings at a poster session at UW. In addition, many students will present their research at scientific conferences. Students will leave the program with experience in programming methods related to biological sciences, enhanced science communication skills, and greater awareness of how to navigate their careers in science. Assessment of the program will be done thru the online SALG URSSA tool, and students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The summer research program provides opportunities to gain outstanding research experience by working with leading researchers in the field of genomics and proteomics at the University of Washington. The program will introduce a wide range of research questions, applications, and career opportunities accessible through big data analysis and computational biology. Research projects span human and model organism genetics, genomics, computational biology, and proteomics. This program will train students to be more effective communicators. They will learn how to share their research findings with other scientists, tell their personal journeys as scientists in PhD applications, and develop skills on how to communicate science principles with the general public. Competitive applicants will have had some college-level science coursework. Applicants from predominantly undergraduate institutions are encouraged to apply. Prior experience with programming is not required, as all students will leave the program having learned introductory programming concepts related to biological datasets. Applicants interested in computational biology labs will be expected to have taken college-level calculus and have basic programming skills. More information about the program is available by visiting https://www.gs.washington.edu/academics/summer/gssummer/index.htm, or by contacting the PI (Dr. Queitsch, [e-mail]), or the co-PI (Dr. Lesiak, [e-mail]).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项授予位于华盛顿州西雅图市华盛顿大学基因组科学系的REU站点奖将在2020- 2022年的夏季支持10个学生的培训10周。预计总共有30名学生，来自美国各地的研究机会有限，来自代表性不足的少数群体将参加。学生将学习如何进行研究，并将在UW的海报会议上提出他们的发现。此外，许多学生将在科学会议上介绍他们的研究。学生将在与生物科学，增强科学沟通技巧相关的编程方法方面的经验以及对如何在科学领域的职业中浏览的经验。该计划的评估将通过在线SALG URSSA工具进行，并将在计划之后跟踪学生，以确定其职业道路。夏季研究计划通过与华盛顿大学基因组学和蛋白质组学领域的主要研究人员合作，为获得出色的研究经验提供了机会。该计划将通过大数据分析和计算生物学访问广泛的研究问题，应用和职业机会。研究项目涵盖了人类和模型生物体遗传学，基因组学，计算生物学和蛋白质组学。该计划将培训学生成为更有效的沟通者。他们将学习如何与其他科学家分享他们的研究结果，告诉他们作为博士应用科学家的个人旅程，并发展有关如何与公众交流科学原则的技能。有竞争力的申请人将有一些大学水平的科学课程。鼓励来自本科机构的主要申请人申请。不需要以前的编程经验，因为所有学生都将离开该计划，因为他们学习了与生物数据集有关的介绍性编程概念。对计算生物学实验室有兴趣的申请人将有望获得大学级的演算，并具有基本的编程技能。有关该计划的更多信息，可以通过访问https://www.gs.washington.edu/academics/summer/summer/gssummer/gssummer/index.htm，或与PI联系（Queitsch，queitsch@[e-mail]）法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来评估的值得支持的。
