2003 SUMMER RESEARCH
PROGRAMS IN BIOLOGY FOR UNDERGRADUATES
This
list of summer programs in biology for undergraduate students is compiled by
the ASCB Minorities Affairs Committee and includes confirmed information for
summer 2003. Programs for underrepresented minorities in science
are emphasized. The list is organized by state.
Arizona
"Research Internships in Neural and Behavioral
Sciences" Northern Arizona University. Research Internships in Neural and Behavioral Sciences, for IO
Native American, Hispanic, African American or Asian/ Pacific Islander
students, including female students and White students who are the first in
their family to attend a college or university. Students will conduct
research in neural and behavioral sciences under the guidance of scientists
from the Department of Biological Sciences and the Department of Psychology.
This 9-week summer research internship integrates five major components: (1)
Faculty mentors will provide hands-on research experience to students in
faculty laboratories, fostering the excitement of scientific discovery and
allowing students to learn science by doing science. (2) Research faculty will
present seminars in which they demonstrate research techniques and present
their research results. (3) Professional development seminars will provide
instruction on how to apply to graduate school and present scientific results
at professional meetings. At seminars, students will discuss ethical concerns
in research, and will hear presentations about the Institutional Review Board
and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Conunittee.
Cultural issues will also be addressed, including Native American attitudes
toward the use of plants and animals in research. (4) Students will participate
in weekly noon
meetings where students can socialize and discuss the progress of their work.
(5) At the end of the summer, students will present the results of their
projects in a joint poster session ensuring that each student produces a
tangible, research product at the end of IO weeks, that
can be refined for presentation at a scientific meeting or submitted for
publication. Application deadline. February 28, 2003.

and training in biology. From the time of its founding in 1888, the MBL has
been known not only for the quality of its research, but also for its
exceptional educational programs. Students in the MMBR program attend lectures
and seminars, and conduct individual research projects under the guidance of
faculty mentors. They attend workshops on laboratory safety, microscopy, and
ethics, and are introduced to other research facilities in the area, such as
the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Mentors are summer or year-round
investigators at the Laboratory, drawn from throughout the country. They
represent a wide range of institutions and research interests, and reflect the
diversity of the MBL. Each mentor impresses upon his or her student that the
project in which the student is engaged is part of a larger, ongoing, original
research program and not just an academic exercise. The mentors are directed to
explain how each student's work will contribute to long-range project goals, and the context and rationale of each project is made
clear to the student. For eight weeks the students live and work as
researchers.
