Research Experience for Undergraduates in Nanoscience at Furman University

该化学部门奖支持弗曼大学本科生研究经验（REU）网站的延续。蒂莫西·汉克斯（Timothy Hanks）是该网站的项目总监，摩西·李（Moses Lee）是联合项目总监。12名教师将担任REU学生导师。在奖励期间（2002-2004年），每年夏天将支持10名学生参加为期10周的项目。在这些学生中，4-6名将来自研究机会有限的地区机构，至少50%将来自nsf目标人口群体。该项目的另一个特点是，一名教员将陪同最多三名访问学生，并将担任研究导师。该计划的研究重点将放在纳米科学项目中的三个特殊兴趣小组之一：单层和表面，超分子结构和DNA复合物。所有参与者（学生和研究导师）将在项目结束时提供一份书面评估。此外，该计划将监测他们的REU学生攻读研究生学位的人数以及学生在专业和同行评审期刊上共同撰写的出版物的数量。

This Chemistry Division award supports the continuation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Furman University. Timothy Hanks is the site's Program Director and Moses Lee is the Co-Program Director. Twelve faculty will serve as REU student mentors. Over the award period (2002-2004), ten students will be supported each summer in a ten-week program. Of these students, 4-6 will be from regional institutions with limited research opportunities and at least 50% will be from NSF-targeted demographic groups. Another feature of the program is that a faculty member will accompany up to three of the visiting students and will serve as research mentors. The research focus of the program will be on nanoscience projects in one of three special interest groups: Monolayers and Surfaces, Supramolecuar Structures and DNA Complexes. All participants (students and research mentors) will provide a written evaluation of the program at its conclusion. In addition, the program will monitor the number of their REU students that pursue graduate degrees and the number of student co-authored publications in professional and peer reviewed journals.
