Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the University of California

该奖项由化学部门颁发，旨在支持加州大学圣克鲁斯分校化学系的Rebecca Braslau博士和其他成员继续开展本科生化学研究经验（REU）项目。在2000年至2002年期间，36名本科生每年夏天将在化学教师的监督和指导下进行10周的原创研究。该计划将向学生参与者介绍除了实验室研究之外的图书馆使用，并将训练他们对研究结果进行书面和口头交流。该项目将与该大学的ACCESS项目相结合，该项目将18名当地未被充分代表的少数族裔大学生带到校园进行暑期研究体验。两个项目的参与者将参加联合晚间研究研讨会和研究生院选择和申请研讨会。该计划的长期影响将是为参与者提供对科学研究的现实理解，这对他们的研究生专业成功至关重要。

This award, by the Chemistry Division, supports Dr. Rebecca Braslau and other members of the Department of Chemistry at the University of California Santa Cruz in continuing a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in chemistry. For the period 2000 - 2002, 36 undergraduate students will spend ten weeks each performing original research under the supervision and guidance of Chemistry faculty each summer. The program will introduce student participants to the use of the library in addition to laboratory research and will train them in both written and oral communication of research results. The program will be integrated with the University's ACCESS program which brings 18 local underrepresented minority college students to campus for a summer research experience. Participants in the two programs will attend joint evening research seminars and workshops on graduate school selection and application. The long range impact of the program will be to provide the participants with a realistic understanding of scientific research that will be crucial to their post graduate professional success.
