DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this application, we propose to address three important aspects of the education of research scientists: (1) The participation of undergraduates in research; (2) The low number of minority biomedical scientists; and (3) The need for scientists trained in both the biological sciences and in chemistry. The vehicle that we have chosen is the UMBC Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Chemical and Biological Sciences. By providing the opportunity for students, including large numbers of minorities, to present their research in a professional yet relaxed, atmosphere, we give students a taste of the excitement of discussing their research with working scientists, as well as with other students. We hope that the experience of this symposium will encourage these many of these students to go into research careers. This symposium has been held each of the last three years, with growing participation of students from colleges and universities in the Mid-Atlantic area. Over 200 undergraduates have presented posters and competed for awards for the best presentations during this time.

描述（由申请人提供）：在本申请中，我们建议解决 研究科学家教育的三个重要方面：（1） 大学生参与研究； （2）少数人数少 生物医学科学家； （3）对接受培训的科学家的需求 生物科学和化学。我们选择的车辆是 化学和生物学科学的UMBC本科研究研讨会。 通过为学生提供机会，包括大量 少数民族，以专业但放松的专业人士介绍他们的研究， 气氛，我们让学生们兴奋地讨论他们的 与工作科学家以及其他学生一起研究。我们希望那样 本次研讨会的经验将鼓励许多这些学生 从事研究职业。该研讨会已举行了最后三个 多年来，随着大学和大学的学生参与的越来越多 大西洋中部地区。超过200多名本科生介绍了海报 在此期间，争夺奖项的最佳演讲。
