PI: CartledgeInstitution: Louisiana State University & Agricultural Institution and Mechanical CollegeThis award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Louisiana State University & Agricultural Institution and Mechanical College for the summers of 2003-2005. It will provide research opportunities and supplementary training and enrichment for 16 minority students from Louisiana institutions primarily, and Mississippi and Texas. Frank K. Cartledge is the program director. Cheryle Peters is co-PI of the project. REU students representing all STEM areas will be recruited. The research will have an environmental theme. Faculty mentors from the departments of chemistry, mathematics, computer science, biological sciences, physics, various engineering disciplines and agronomy will provide a wide spectrum of research projects. Participants will attend a short computer course, explore research ethics, and attend seminars dealing with technical writing, graduate school and oral communication skills. All students will present their results by the end of the summer at an LSU poster conference. This program will cooperate with others that are ongoing at LSU, including the NSF-supported Louisiana Alliance for Minority Participation (LAMP) and the NSF and Howard Hughes REU summer research programs in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Chemical Engineering. This REU site is funded by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematics and Physical Sciences, and the Division of Human Resource Development in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources.

PI：CartledgeInstitution：路易斯安那州立大学农业研究所和机械学院该奖项支持路易斯安那州立大学农业研究所和机械学院2003-2005年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 它将为来自路易斯安那州、密西西比州和得克萨斯州的16名少数民族学生提供研究机会和补充培训。 弗兰克·K卡特利奇是项目主管。 Cheryle Peters是该项目的联合PI。 代表所有STEM领域的REU学生将被招募。 研究将有一个环境主题。来自化学、数学、计算机科学、生物科学、物理、各个工程学科和农学系的教师导师将提供广泛的研究项目。 参加者将参加一个简短的计算机课程，探讨研究道德，并参加研讨会处理技术写作，研究生院和口头沟通技巧。 所有学生将在夏季结束前在路易斯安那州立大学海报会议上展示他们的成果。 该计划将与路易斯安那州立大学正在进行的其他项目合作，包括NSF支持的路易斯安那州少数民族参与联盟（LAMP）和NSF和霍华德休斯REU化学，生物化学和化学工程夏季研究计划。 这个REU网站是由化学部和多学科活动办公室在数学和物理科学局，以及人力资源开发司在教育和人力资源局资助。
