An REU Site in Chemistry at the University of Florida

该化学分部奖支持佛罗里达大学本科生研究经验（REU）站点的延续。Randolph Duran是该网站的项目总监，Benjamin Smith是联合项目总监。30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。除了过去的招聘工作外，还将与塔斯基吉大学建立伙伴关系，以确定更多未被充分代表的少数民族学生。作为他们体验的一部分，学生们将与法国本科生一起生活和互动。研究方向为生物与材料化学。学生将参加每周的研讨会，并以论文、演讲和/或海报的形式展示他们的研究成果。项目结束后，每年10月将有为期三天的周末reu会议和海报会议。学生将在整个暑期项目中接受多次调查，研究导师在项目结束时对每个学生进行评估。所有学生在项目结束后都会被跟踪。

This Chemistry Division award supports the continuation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Florida. Randolph Duran is the site's Program Director and Benjamin Smith is the Co-Program Director. Thirty 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. In addition to the recruiting efforts used in the past, a partnership will be established with Tuskegee University to identify additional underrepresented minority students. The students will live and interact with French undergraduate students, as part of their experience. The research focus is a biological and materials chemistry. Students will participate in weekly seminars and will present their research results in the form of papers, talks, and/or posters. There will be a three-day weekend post-REU meeting and poster session each October after the program ends. Students will be surveyed several times throughout the summer program and research mentors provide evaluations of each student at the conclusion of the program. All students are tracked after the program ends.
