This award by the Chemistry Division supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Brandeis University for the summers of 2006-2008. The program director is Irving Epstein who is assisted by co-PI Lizabeth Hedstrom. Ten students each year will do research in organic, inorganic, physical and biological chemistry and centered on the theme of catalysis, conveying to students the excitement, the breadth, the interdisciplinary nature, and the practical applications of chemical research. Projects include synthetic chemistry, ultra-high resolution time-resolved protein crystallography, solid-state reactions, enzyme catalysis and single molecule spectroscopy. Participants will present their work orally at informal weekly teas and at a final symposium and will prepare two interim reports as well as a final report in the form of a journal article. Weekly lunch seminars will feature both faculty research and speakers on such topics as patent law, entrepreneurship, science writing and sustainable development. The NSF Ethics and Value Studies Program under the Directorate of Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Science and Society Program is providing support for the ethical component of this site.

这项由化学系颁发的奖项支持布兰迪斯大学2006-2008年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。该项目的负责人是欧文·爱泼斯坦，由共同的少年派·丽莎贝丝·赫德斯特罗姆协助。每年将有10名学生进行有机、无机、物理和生物化学的研究，以催化为主题，向学生传达化学研究的激动人心、广度、跨学科性质和实际应用。项目包括合成化学、超高分辨率时间分辨蛋白质结晶学、固态反应、酶催化和单分子光谱学。与会者将在每周非正式茶会和最后研讨会上口头介绍他们的工作，并以期刊文章的形式编写两份中期报告和一份最终报告。每周的午餐研讨会将包括教师研究和演讲，主题包括专利法、企业家精神、科学写作和可持续发展。在社会、行为和经济科学与社会计划指导下的NSF伦理和价值研究计划为本网站的伦理部分提供支持。
