This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This REU Site award to the University of California San Francisco, in San Francisco, California, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022- 2024. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students, primarily from schools with limited research opportunities or from an under-represented group, will be trained in the program. Students will be exposed to UCSF’s interdisciplinary collaborative research environment, and will undertake training covering biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, and genomics. In addition to undertaking an independent research project, students will learn foundational skills in the presentation of scientific findings, will participate in journal clubs and lab meetings, and will present at national conferences. Assessment of the program’s learning and training outcomes will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool and students’ career outcomes will be tracked to assess the professional outcomes of the program. The objectives of this program are to provide: a) state of the art, hands-on training in molecular biosciences and b) a co-curriculum that communicates skills, information, and experiences required for successful transition to graduate school and to research careers in the biological sciences. Students are recruited nationally at ABRCMS/ SACNAS meetings, via outreach visits, and by word of-mouth via former NSF-REU participants. Participants are selected by a faculty committee that considers personal and professional accomplishments, and extenuating circumstances. The centerpiece of the program is an intensive research experience in which students are paired with outstanding UCSF faculty and student mentors to learn modern techniques used to solve complex research problems. Projects are designed to maximize a productive, positive, and realistic immersion in scientific research. A unique co-curriculum prepares students intellectually and psychosocially for success in graduate school, and includes required scientific training in responsible conduct of research. Finally, this REU leverages activities to develop UCSF graduate students into effective and supportive professional mentors, some of whom serve as direct mentors and others as teaching assistants. More information about the program is available by visiting https://graduate.ucsf.edu/srtp or by contacting the PI (Dr. Carol Gross at [e-mail]) or the co-PI (Dr. Liz Silva at [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.

该奖项的全部或部分资金根据《2021 年美国救援计划法案》（公法 117-2）提供。该 REU 站点奖项授予位于加利福尼亚州旧金山的加州大学旧金山分校，将支持 10 名学生的培训2022-2024 年夏季为期 10 周。预计总共 30 名学生（主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体）将接受培训该计划的学生将接触加州大学旧金山分校的跨学科合作研究环境，并接受涵盖生物化学、细胞生物学、遗传学、分子生物学和基因组学的培训。除了进行独立的研究项目外，学生还将学习演示的基本技能。科学发现，将参加期刊俱乐部和实验室会议，并将通过在线 SALG URSSA 工具评估该计划的学习和培训成果，并将跟踪学生的职业成果以评估其专业成果。这该计划的目标是提供：a）最先进的分子生物科学实践培训，b）交流成功过渡到研究生院和研究所需的技能、信息和经验的辅助课程。学生在 ABRCMS/SACNAS 会议上、通过外展访问以及前 NSF-REU 参与者的口口相传的方式在全国范围内招募，参与者由教员委员会挑选，该委员会考虑个人和专业成就以及情有可原。该项目的核心是深入的研究体验，学生与加州大学旧金山分校的杰出教师和学生导师一起学习用于解决复杂研究问题的现代技术，项目旨在最大限度地提高对科学的富有成效、积极和现实的沉浸感。独特的辅助课程为学生在研究生院取得成功做好智力和心理准备，并包括负责任地开展研究所需的科学培训。最后，该 REU 利用各种活动将 UCSF 研究生培养成有效且支持性的专业导师。服务有关该计划的更多信息，请访问 https://graduate.ucsf.edu/srtp 或联系 PI（Carol Gross 博士，邮箱：[e-mail]）或共同 PI（Liz Si​​lva 博士，[e-mail]）。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
