REU Site: Undergraduate Research for Appalachian Students at the Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky

化学部的这一奖项支持肯塔基州大学2006-2008年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。项目负责人是丹尼斯·克劳蒂埃。每年有10名学生将在化学和生物化学的广泛领域进行研究。学生将每天与研究生，博士后学生和教师互动，并接触到现代大学研究环境的各个方面。主要活动将是实验室研究，但丰富的活动，包括每周研讨会，社会活动，书面和口头研究报告，研究会议介绍，并出席我们的年度海报会议计划作为经验的一个组成部分。将作出巨大努力，在研究小组中提供归属感。这个REU网站计划主要针对来自阿巴拉契亚地区的学生，因为这些学生在科学学科中的代表性不足，他们的本科院校通常没有支持研究计划的基础设施。这个REU网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作提供支持

This award by the Chemistry Division supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Kentucky for the summers of 2006-2008. The program director is Dennis Clouthier. Ten students each year will do research in the broad areas of chemistry and biochemistry. The students will interact daily with the graduate students, postdoctoral students, and faculty and be exposed to all aspects of a modern university research environment. The primary activity will be laboratory research, but enrichment activities including weekly seminars, social activities, written and oral research reports, research conference presentations, and attendance at our annual poster session are planned as an integral part of the experience. A strong effort will be made to provide a sense of belonging in the research groups. This REU Site program is aimed primarily at students from the Appalachian region, as these students are underrepresented in science disciplines and their undergraduate institutions often do not have the infrastructure to support research programs. This REU site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program
