Chemistry REU Leadership Group: Developing an Active and Diverse Undergraduate Chemistry Research Program

该奖项为化学REU领导小组提供资金，以提高60多个化学REU站点的有效性。化学REU领导小组促进REU站点和潜在参与者之间的沟通，并支持本科生参加专业会议。他们还将举办REU支持的参与者和项目的在线庆祝活动。还为化学领导小组的定期会议提供支持，以讨论项目评估和发展，并探索化学REU项目与其他支持本科生研究的项目和组织之间的合作项目。一个需要加强的伙伴关系是化学REU站点和路易斯·斯托克斯少数人参与联盟(LS AMP)站点之间的伙伴关系。化学REU领导小组还将在2005年春季组织一次跨学科的REU站点主任会议。本次泛学科会议由数学和物理科学、教育和人力资源、计算机和信息科学与工程、工程、地球科学以及社会、行为和经济科学理事会联合主办。

This award provides funding to the Chemistry REU Leadership Group to enhance the effectiveness of more than sixty Chemistry REU sites. The Chemistry REU Leadership group facilitates communication among the REU sites and prospective participants and also supports undergraduate travel to professional meetings. They will also host an online celebration of REU-supported participants and projects. Support is also provided for regular meetings of the Chemistry Leadership Group to meet to discuss program evaluation and development and explore cooperative ventures between Chemistry REU programs and other programs and organizations supporting undergraduate research. One partnership to be strengthened is between the Chemistry REU sites and the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LS AMP) sites.The Chemistry REU leadership group will also organize a pan-disciplinary REU site director's meeting in the Spring of 2005. This pan-disciplinary meeting is jointly sponsored by the Directorates of Mathmatical and Physical Sciences; Education and Human Resources; Compututer and Information Science and Engineering; Engineering; Geosciences; and Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences.
