REU: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the University of North Texas

PI：威尔逊研究所：北得克萨斯大学该奖项支持北得克萨斯大学(UNT)2003-2005年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)站点。安吉拉·威尔逊是该项目的负责人。托马斯·昆达里是该项目的联合PI。12名学生将参加一个为期10周的项目。这些学生将在全国范围内招生，特别关注种族多元化的阿肯色州、路易斯安那州、得克萨斯州地区(Arklatex)。提出了在有机、无机、物理、分析、聚合物和环境化学等不同化学领域进行研究的13个问题领域。通过与化学行业领导人就伦理、非传统职业选择和工业化学家等主题进行讨论，REU的经验将得到加强。将提供计算化学和X射线结晶学方面的培训机会。将成立一个外部顾问委员会，为REU计划提供协助和建议。REU的学生将与墨西哥学生一起参加活动，这些学生每年夏天由北大化学系主办，为他们的经历提供了一个国际层面。

PI: Wilson Institution: University of North TexasThis award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of North Texas (UNT) for the summers of 2003-2005. Angela Wilson is the program director. Thomas Cundari is the Co-PI of the project. Twelve students will participate in a ten-week program. The students will be recruited on a national basis with special focus on the ethnically diverse Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas region (ArkLaTex). Thirteen problem areas are proposed for research in various fields of chemistry including organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, polymer and environmental chemistry. The REU experience will be enhanced by discussions with chemical leaders on topics such as ethics, non-traditional career options and chemists in industry. Training opportunities in computational chemistry and x-ray crystallography will be provided. An external advisory board will be formed to assist and advise the REU program. The REU students will participate in activities with Mexican students, who are hosted each summer by the UNT chemistry department, providing an international dimension to their experience.
