This Chemistry Division award is a continuation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Wellesley College. Chris Arumainayagam and David R. Haines share duties as the site's Program Director. Over the award period (2001-2003) they will oversee a program of interdisciplinary research between chemistry and other departments, particularly biological sciences, physics, computer sciences, environmental science, and the social sciences. A new aspect of the program is the inclusion of physics faculty and students in the research efforts. Approximately 25 chemistry and physics students will participate in the ten-week summer research program each year, with ten of those students supported by this award and the remainder by the College and other funding sources. Five of the ten participants will be selected primarily from institutions with limited research opportunities. The site encourages the participation of women and students from other underrepresented groups. The students will conclude their experience with a campus-wide poster session.

这个化学部门奖是韦尔斯利学院本科生研究经验（REU）网站的延续。Chris Arumainayagam和David R. Haines共同担任网站的项目总监。在资助期内（2001-2003年），他们将负责一个化学与其他院系，特别是生物科学、物理、计算机科学、环境科学和社会科学的跨学科研究项目。该计划的一个新方面是将物理教师和学生纳入研究工作。每年大约有25名化学和物理学生将参加为期10周的暑期研究项目，其中10名学生由该奖项资助，其余学生由学院和其他资金来源资助。10名参与者中的5名将主要从研究机会有限的机构中选出。该网站鼓励女性和其他未被充分代表的群体的学生参与。学生们将以全校范围的海报活动来结束他们的体验。
