This REU Site award to the University of Colorado-Denver Anschutz Medical Campus and the Metropolitan State University of Denver, located in Denver and Aurora, CO, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2024- 2026. 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 learn how research is conducted, and many will present the results of their work at scientific conferences. A multi-faceted assessment of the program will evaluate skill acquisition, longitudinal tracking of career paths, and review of faculty participants through an online tool. The NSF ETAP system will be used to recruit participants.The REU Site in RNA and Genome Biology (REU-RGB) will provide a spectrum of research experiences across two campuses, including many departments. Research projects will include Transcriptional Regulation, Genome Replication, Post-transcriptional Regulatory Dynamics, Translational Programming, RNA Editing, Viral RNA Structure Function, and Noncoding RNA. Students will design and execute a research project, present in multiple forums, and train in research ethics/responsible conduct. Applicants will apply to the program through a national search using an online application asking for reference letters, transcripts, and statements demonstrating specific enthusiasm for the scientific enterprise. Holistic review of applications will lead to selection by faculty/senior trainee committee. All participants will be equipped with RNA/genome-specific bioscience skills training to enhance their performance in the REU Site program and beyond. REU-RGB will couple dynamic research experiences with multi-pronged career development and science communication. This holistic training approach will propel REU-RGB scholars toward career steps, including pursuing a Ph.D. in biological sciences while fostering an inclusive community.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.

REU 授予位于科罗拉多州丹佛市和奥罗拉市的科罗拉多大学丹佛安舒茨医学校区和丹佛大都会州立大学的场地奖励，将支持 10 名学生在 2024 年至 2026 年夏季进行为期 10 周的培训。预计总共 30 名学生将接受该计划的培训，他们主要来自研究机会有限的学校或代表性不足的群体。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。该项目的多方面评估将评估技能获取、职业道路的纵向跟踪以及通过在线工具对教师参与者的审查。 NSF ETAP 系统将用于招募参与者。REU RNA 和基因组生物学站点 (REU-RGB) 将提供跨两个校区（包括许多系）的一系列研究经验。研究项目将包括转录调控、基因组复制、转录后调控动力学、翻译编程、RNA 编辑、病毒 RNA 结构功能和非编码 RNA。学生将设计和执行一个研究项目，在多个论坛上发表演讲，并接受研究道德/负责任行为方面的培训。申请人将通过在线申请进行全国搜索来申请该计划，要求提供推荐信、成绩单和表明对科学事业的具体热情的陈述。对申请的全面审查将导致教师/高级实习生委员会的选择。所有参与者都将接受 RNA/基因组特异性生物科学技能培训，以提高他们在 REU Site 项目及其他项目中的表现。 REU-RGB 将动态研究经验与多管齐下的职业发展和科学传播结合起来。这种整体培训方法将推动 REU-RGB 学者迈向职业生涯，包括攻读博士学位。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
