This award provides funding for a Research Experiences for                      Undergraduates Site at Carleton College. The project provides                   support for a 10 week summer research experience for nine                       undergraduates from Carleton College and other regional colleges                and universities.  Pre-participation reading requirements will                  provide students with an adequate foundation for meaningful                     scientific investigation.  During the summer students will work                 in a one-to-one relationship with a research supervisor in the                  laboratory.  Weekly seminars will provide students with the                     opportunity to discuss research plans and results as well as to                 delve into primary scientific articles.  To further focus and                   unify the student participants, a theme of developmental                        regulation has been selected.  Six of the eight projects relate                 directly to this theme and mid-summer seminars will be used to                  discuss current literature in this area.  Projects will include                 investigations of:  the mechanisms of action and the chemical                   characteristics of a possibly-steroid pheromone produced by                     Oedogonium, functional structure of Hensen's node in the chick                  embryo, regulation of floral development in tobacco, effect of B                chromosomes in maize on developmental processes, structure and                  function of the glucocorticoid receptor in rat liver, development               of neural connections in Helisoma, variation of sex expression in               composites and effect of gregarine parasites on population                      biology of capitellid polychaetes.  Opportunities to complete                   research and writing during winter break will be available.
