Research Experience for Undergraduates in Chemistry and Physics

这一联合化学系和物理系奖项支持俄勒冈大学本科生研究经验(REU)站点的继续。杰拉尔丁·里士满是该网站的项目主管。来自物理系和化学系的12名教职员工将担任REU的学生导师。在颁奖期间(2002-2004)，每年夏天将有十名学生在为期十周的计划中得到支持。参与者的选择是基于化学和物理方面的强大背景。在几所女子学院、历史上的黑人大学以及奇卡诺人和美洲原住民学生比例较高的机构，通过与科学课程的接触，特别努力招收女性和少数族裔申请者。这是一个跨学科的化学/物理研究项目。学生和研究导师参加一个集体项目，其中包括研究研讨会、每周会议、社交活动和学生返回家乡机构后的后续活动。在课程结束时，学生以口头报告的形式介绍他们的研究成果，并提供书面报告。在暑期结束时，学生们要完成一项评估。所有参与者在离开计划后都会被跟踪。

This joint Chemistry Division and Physics Division award supports the continuation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Oregon. Geraldine Richmond is the site's Program Director. Twelve faculty members from the Departments of Physics, and Chemistry will serve as REU student mentors. Over the award period (2002-2004), ten students will be supported each summer in a ten-week program. Selection of the participants is based on a strong background in both chemistry and physics. A special effort is made to recruit female and minority applicants using contacts with science programs at several women's colleges, at historically black colleges and at institutions where there is a higher percentage of Chicanos and Native American students. This is an interdisciplinary Chemistry/Physics research program. Students and research mentors participate in a collective program that includes research seminars, weekly meetings, social activities and follow-up activities after students return to their home institutions. At the end of the program students present their research in an oral presentation and provide a written report. At the closing of the summer, the students complete an evaluation. All participants are tracked after they leave the program.
