Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the University of Connecticut

这一化学系奖项为康涅狄格大学化学系本科生研究经验(REU)网站提供支持，该网站由艾米·R·豪厄尔博士指导。在接下来的三年里，每年将有十名学生参加为期10周的暑期项目。该项目将重点关注来自附近地理区域的女学生，她们独立研究的机会有限。学生将接触到化学所有领域的各种研究主题，并通过一系列研讨会向他们介绍安全实践、研究结果的有效交流、化学中的计算方法、化学中的职业以及科学中的伦理问题。将鼓励学生在美国化学学会地区性会议等会议上报告研究成果。

This Chemistry Division award provides support for a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in the Chemistry Department, University of Connecticut, directed by Dr. Amy R. Howell. Ten students will participate each year over the next three years in a 10-week summer program. The program will focus on women students from the nearby geographic region who have limited opportunities for independent research. The students will be exposed to a variety of research topics across all the fields of chemistry, and through a series of seminars they will be introduced to safety practices, effective communication of research results, computational methods in chemistry, careers in chemistry, and ethical issues in science. Students will be encouraged to report research results at conferences such as regional meetings of the American Chemical Society.
