This award by the Chemistry Division supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for the summers of 2006-2008. The program director is Steven Kass who is assisted by co-PI Philippe Buhlmann. Ten students each year will carry out research in environmental, materials, or biological chemistry. Participants will gain a research experience at the forefront of chemistry where they will see how the core disciplines of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry provide background for research in one or more of the emerging, nontraditional areas of chemistry. The students laboratory experience will be supplemented by giving informal presentations of their work, a 2 day library workshop, tutorials at the Minnesota Supercomputer Institute and in the operation and interpretation of NMR and mass spectrometry data. Additional activities include instruction and discussion of professional ethics in a classroom setting, a workshop on chemistry careers, faculty research presentations, an end-of-summer research symposium presentation, and an opportunity to present a paper at a national chemistry meeting during the following academic year. A variety of social activities also are planned where knowledge can be imparted in a light setting. Special efforts will be made to include members of under-represented minority groups, the economically disadvantaged, late bloomers who ordinarily would not get an opportunity to pursue careers in the chemical sciences.

化学部的这一奖项支持了2006-2008年夏季明尼苏达双城大学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。该计划的主任是史蒂芬卡斯谁是协助共同PI菲利普Buhlmann。每年有10名学生将进行环境，材料或生物化学研究。参与者将获得化学前沿的研究经验，他们将看到分析，无机，有机和物理化学的核心学科如何为一个或多个新兴的非传统化学领域的研究提供背景。学生的实验室经验将通过提供他们的工作，为期2天的图书馆研讨会，在明尼苏达州超级计算机研究所的教程和NMR和质谱数据的操作和解释的非正式演示来补充。其他活动包括教学和职业道德在课堂环境中的讨论，化学职业讲习班，教师研究报告，夏季研究研讨会结束时的演示文稿，并有机会在下一学年的全国化学会议上提交论文。还计划了各种社会活动，在那里可以在轻松的环境中传授知识。将作出特别努力，以包括代表性不足的少数群体，经济上处于不利地位，大器晚成的人谁通常不会得到一个机会，追求职业生涯在化学科学的成员。
