Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the University of North Dakota

北达科他州大学化学系的大卫·a·皮尔斯博士和其他成员正在获得支持，继续开展本科生化学研究经验（REU）项目。该网站由化学部门和刺激竞争性研究实验计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。在1997- 1999年期间，10名本科生将在每年夏天花10周的时间积极从事传统化学领域的基础研究项目，包括合成、生物物理和生物无机化学、催化、计算化学和环境分析。学生提交书面和口头研究报告。该网站赞助了一个外部评估者，他使用焦点小组来衡量参与者和导师的经历。招聘的重点是该地区七个州的四年制大学，并对美国原住民学生进行了深入的宣传。

Dr. David A. Pierce and other members of the Chemistry Department at the University of North Dakota are being supported to continue a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. The site is co-funded by the Chemistry Division and the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). For the period 1997-99, ten undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each summer actively engaged in basic research projects drawn from the traditional areas of chemistry including synthesis, biophysical and bioinorganic chemistry, catalysis, computational chemistry, and environmental analysis. Students present both written and oral research reports. The site sponsors an external evaluator who uses focus groups to measure participant and mentor experiences. Recruitment focusses on four-year colleges in seven states in the region, with intensive outreach to Native American students.
