This REU Site award to the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, located in New Orleans, LA, will support the training of 10 students interested in genomics and/or biochemistry research for 10 weeks during the summers of 2021-2023. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from groups underrepresented in the sciences, will be trained in the program. All projects are hypothesis-driven, focusing on solving scientific problems and utilizing computational state-of-the-art scientific methods. Students will analyze and interpret data and communicate their findings. They will develop a competitive resume, receive training in potential careers in STEM, and contribute new knowledge in genomics and biochemistry. Student projects will be flexible for remote and/or on-campus work. By the end of the program, students of diverse backgrounds will become more competitive in their graduate school applications and research careers. Students will learn how research is conducted, and many of them will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. The program will focus on one-on-one training in genomics and biochemistry, emphasizing hard scientific skills (hypothesis and experimental design, methodology, scientific communication), soft skills (time management), and professional development (responsible conduct in research, resume/CV writing, career guidance). REU students will have networking opportunities with current graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty members. They will have the opportunity to enhance their scientific communication thru interaction with inner-city K-12 schools. The goals of this program are to facilitate training in data analytics and scientific visual literacy, to provide learning platforms for current datasets and research problems, and enable trainees to use these materials in a variety of situations (e.g., a pandemic). Computational and wet lab projects adaptable to remote applications will be available based on student research interests. Assessments of the program will be performed through the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to follow their career paths.

这项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的REU网站奖将支持在2021 - 2023年夏季对10个对基因组学和/或生物化学研究感兴趣的学生进行培训。预计总共有30名学生，主要来自研究机会有限的学校或科学中代表性不足的群体，将接受该计划的培训。所有项目都是由假设驱动的，重点是解决科学问题并利用计算最先进的科学方法。学生将分析和解释数据并传达他们的发现。他们将制定竞争性简历，接受STEM潜在职业的培训，并在基因组学和生物化学方面提供新知识。学生项目将灵活地用于远程和/或校园工作。到计划结束时，不同背景的学生将在其研究生院应用和研究职业中变得更具竞争力。学生将学习如何进行研究，其中许多将在科学会议上介绍他们的工作结果。该计划将重点介绍基因组学和生物化学的一对一培训，强调艰苦的科学技能（假设和实验设计，方法论，科学沟通），软技能（时间管理）和专业发展（负责研究，恢复/简历撰写，职业指导，职业指导）。 REU学生将与现任研究生，博士后研究员和教职员工有网络机会。他们将有机会通过与市中心K-12学校的互动来增强科学沟通。该计划的目标是促进数据分析和科学视觉素养的培训，为当前数据集和研究问题提供学习平台，并使受训者能够在各种情况下使用这些材料（例如大流行）。根据学生的研究兴趣，将提供适合远程应用程序的计算和湿实验室项目。该程序的评估将通过在线Salg Urssa工具进行。该计划后将跟踪学生，以遵循自己的职业道路。有关该计划的更多信息，可以通过访问http://www.medschool.lsuhsc.edu/genetics/reu.aspx，或通过与pi（Fern tsien博士）联系，请访问the the Internition the Internition the Internition the Internity the Internion dection and Internion dection and Internion decty and Interny decty and Internion decty and Interny decty and decty decty and nsf智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
