This Chemistry Division award supports the continuation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Connecticut. Amy Howell is the site's Program Director; Christian Bruckner is the Co-Program Director. Twelve faculty will serve as REU student mentors. During the award period (2001-2003), each summer students will participate in a ten-week program. Plans are to recruit students within the region (New England, NY, NJ, PA) from institutions that have limited opportunities for independent research. A concerted effort will be made to recruit students with physical disabilities--the department has the capability to provide bench chemistry for students who use wheel chairs. The research projects offered are in the areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. Student participants will interact extensively with their faulty research mentor and senior graduate student. The program will include a seminar series featuring safety, presenting research results, ethical issues in science, careers in chemistry, and use of chemical databases. The program will conclude with oral presentations and a poster symposium, which will be held in conjunction with other REU programs on campus. The program will be evaluated by the students via a series of questionnaires, first when they arrive on campus and again upon their departure. The REU faculty will be surveyed at the conclusion of each program, as will the faculty at the students' home institutions. Students will be tracked in terms of their professional activities following their participation in the program.

该化学部奖支持康涅狄格大学本科生研究经验（REU）网站的延续。 艾米豪厄尔是该网站的项目总监;基督教布鲁克纳是联合项目总监。12名教师将担任REU学生导师。 在奖励期间（2001-2003），每个暑期学生将参加为期十周的计划。 计划是在该地区（新英格兰，纽约州，新泽西州，宾夕法尼亚州）从机构，有独立研究的机会有限的招生。 将共同努力招收身体残疾的学生--该部门有能力为使用轮椅的学生提供长凳化学。提供的研究项目是在分析，无机，有机和物理化学领域。 学生参与者将与他们的错误研究导师和高年级研究生进行广泛的互动。 该计划将包括一系列研讨会，包括安全，介绍研究成果，科学伦理问题，化学职业以及化学数据库的使用。 该计划将以口头报告和海报研讨会结束，这将与校园内的其他REU计划一起举行。 该计划将由学生通过一系列问卷进行评估，首先是当他们到达校园，并再次在他们离开。 REU教师将在每个项目结束时接受调查，学生所在机构的教师也将接受调查。 学生将被跟踪在他们的专业活动后，他们参与该计划。
