URC: Chemical Research in Your World

该奖项来自化学系，用于资助本科生研究中心(URC)的规划拨款。私家侦探是约翰·J·斯特佐夫斯基，由私家侦探T·禤浩焯·乔治协助。规划活动将建立一个本科生研究中心，参与者来自地区高校。学生和他们所在机构的教师导师将与内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校(UNL)的教师导师配对，从事共同感兴趣的研究项目。城市资源中心的机会将在UNL举行的为期两天的研讨会上展示给参与的教职员工。项目将侧重于与社会相关的主题，重点是材料和生物化学系统。为国内机构的学生和教职员工改善有意义的研究的可能性将通过合作和改善他们的现场设施和设备采购支持来实现。在规划阶段，PI将与参与学校的教员建立互动，促进合作项目的发展，并与地区机构的教员合作确定适当的设备要求。研讨会将是发展兴趣和合作的一项关键活动。

The award from the Chemistry Division supports an Undergraduate Research Centers (URC) planning grant. The PI is John J. Stezowski, assisted by co-PI, T. Adrian George. The planning activities will develop an Undergraduate Research Center with participants from regional colleges and universities. Students, along with faculty mentors from their home institutions, will be matched with University of Nebraska -Lincoln (UNL) faculty mentors to undertake research projects of mutual interest. The URC opportunities will be presented to participating faculty during a 2-day workshop held at UNL. Projects will be focused on topics relevant to society with emphasis on materials and biochemical systems. Improving the possibilities for meaningful research for students and faculty at home institutions will be accomplished through the collaborations and by improving their on site facilities with equipment procurement support. In the planning phase, the PI will develop the interactions with faculty at participating schools, facilitate the development of collaborative projects, and work with the faculty from regional institutions to determine appropriate equipment requests. The workshop will be a key activity in developing interest and collaborations.
