Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the Indiana University Bloomington

该化学部门奖支持印第安纳大学本科生（REU）新的研究经验网站。Steven Wietstock是该网站的项目总监；丹尼斯·彼得斯是联合项目主任。大约30名教师将担任REU学生导师。在奖励期间（2001-2003年），每年夏天将有10名学生参加为期10周的项目。招聘将通过在邻近地理区域的小型大学的教师联系进行，包括芝加哥、辛辛那提、底特律、路易斯维尔和密尔沃基的城市中心。此外，少数族裔的招生工作将通过克拉克亚特兰大大学、莫尔豪斯学院、新墨西哥州立大学、斯佩尔曼学院、北卡罗来纳大学彭布罗克分校和路易斯安那州泽维尔大学的现有联系进行。学生的研究项目包括分析化学、生物化学、无机化学、有机化学和物理化学。在夏季的活动安排中包括科学伦理和化学信息课程。计划参观当地的化学工业。暑期课程将以学生参加一个小型研讨会海报展示和提交一份期刊文章风格的最终研究报告结束。在课程结束时，每位学生都要完成一份调查问卷。学校将通过电子邮件和名单服务系统建立联系系统，以便在学生离开学校后保持联系。

This Chemistry Division award supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Indiana University. Steven Wietstock is the site's Program Director; Dennis Peters is the Co-Program Director. Approximately thirty faculty will be available to serve as REU student mentors. During the award period (2001-2003), each summer ten students will participate in a ten-week program. Recruitment will be via faculty contacts at smaller colleges in the immediate geographic area, including the urban centers of Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Louisville and Milwaukee. In addition, minority recruitment efforts will be directed through existing contacts at Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, New Mexico State University, Spelman College, University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and Xavier University of Louisiana. Student research projects will be available in analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. Included in the summer schedule of activities are classes on ethics in science and chemical information. A visit to a local chemical industry is planned. The summer program will conclude with the students participating in a mini-symposium poster presentation and submitting a final research report in the style of a journal article. A survey at the end of the program will be completed by each of the student participants. A networking system will be established through e-mail and listserve systems to keep track of the students after they leave the program.
