Green Chemistry on the Palouse: A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the Univerisity of Idaho and Washington State University

一个本科生研究经验（REU）涉及爱达荷大学和华盛顿州立大学化学系，将涉及10名学生（8名NSF资助），于2003-2005年夏季进行。这个为期10周的项目将强调绿色化学的研究主题，绿色化学被定义为“减少或消除有害物质的使用和产生的化学产品和过程的设计”。Jeanne L. McHale（爱达荷州）是网站主管，Sue B.Clark（华盛顿州立大学）是联合负责人。来自这些机构的14名教师可以监督研究项目，包括危险废物修复，催化，太阳能转换和环境友好合成等主题。合作部门将最大限度地利用现有资源进行研究，并促进更多样化的化学研究方法。学生将从太平洋西北地区的地区大学招募，包括华盛顿、爱达荷、蒙大拿、俄勒冈、阿拉斯加和怀俄明州。学校将重点吸引来自代表性不足群体的学生。每周关于研究和职业问题的研讨会将在两所学校轮流举行。实地考察将被带到太平洋西北国家实验室。

Institution: University of Idaho PI: McHale A Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) involving the chemistry departments at the University of Idaho and Washington State University will involve 10 students (8 NSF supported) during the summers of 2003-2005. This 10-week program will emphasize research topics in Green Chemistry which is defined as "design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances". Jeanne L. McHale (Idaho) is the site director and Sue B.Clark (WSU) is the co-PI. Fourteen faculty from these institutions are available to supervise research projects encompassing subjects such as hazardous waste remediation, catalysis, solar energy conversion, and environmentally friendly synthesis. The collaborating departments will maximize their available resources for research and promote more diverse approaches to chemical research. Students will be recruited from regional colleges in the Pacific Northwest, which includes Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Alaska, and Wyoming. There will be an emphasis on attracting students from under-represented groups. Weekly seminars on research and career issues will alternate between the schools. A field trip will be taken to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
