This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Arizona for the summers of 2005-2007. The program director is Katrina Miranda who is assisted by co-PI Dominic McGrath. The University of Arizona REU site will train 27 primarily female and minority undergraduates in chemical research while encouraging these students to enter scientific careers, enhancing the scientific workforce. The primary objective is to expose undergraduates from primarily non-Ph.D. granting institutions to collaborative research environments in order to initiate or develop their desire to pursue a career in the sciences. The program will recruit women and underrepresented minority students from non-Ph.D. granting institutions primarily, although not limited to, the western states. The core of the program will be independent research under a faculty mentor and associated collaborators. A series of seminars will help prepare the REU students to carry out research, to initiate discussion and thought about ethical issues in science and the research environment, and to consider career opportunities in chemistry. A poster symposium for the REU students as well as other on-campus summer research programs will be held at the conclusion of the program. After the completion of the program, the REU students will be encouraged to present their research at regional conferences such as the Rocky Mountain Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society (RMRM).

该化学部奖支持亚利桑那大学2005-2007年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 该计划的主任是卡特里娜米兰达谁是协助共同PI多米尼克麦格拉思。亚利桑那大学REU网站将培训27名主要是女性和少数民族本科生在化学研究，同时鼓励这些学生进入科学事业，提高科学劳动力。主要目标是让非博士生的本科生接触到为各机构提供合作研究环境，以启动或发展其追求科学事业的愿望。该计划将从非博士生中招募女性和代表性不足的少数民族学生。授予机构主要是，但不限于，西部各州。该计划的核心将是在教师导师和相关合作者的独立研究。一系列的研讨会将帮助准备REU学生进行研究，发起讨论和思考科学和研究环境中的伦理问题，并考虑在化学职业机会。REU学生的海报研讨会以及其他校园暑期研究项目将在项目结束时举行。课程完成后，REU学生将被鼓励在区域会议上展示他们的研究，如美国化学学会（RMRM）的落基山脉区域会议。
