This is a new Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site award to the West Virginia University that focuses on providing intellectually stimulating research experience in the field of nanoscience, including Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Science with biological applications. The program targets economically disadvantaged and underrepresented minority students from the Appalachian region. It will support 12 undergraduate students each year for three years, bringing them to the campus of the University of West Virginia for ten weeks during summer and engaging them in multidisciplinary research projects in several well-funded research groups. Regular professional and social meetings to promote interactions among participating students, faculty and other senior researchers as well as technical presentation practices are included in the program. The students will also have the opportunity to visit nearby large national scientific facilities. The overall experience is expected to motivate the participating students to pursue graduate education and science careers. This Site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. Within the NSF, Division of Materials Research in the Mathematical and Physical Science Directorate and the Division of Engineering Education Centers in the Engineering Directorate are funding this REU Site.

这是一个新的本科生研究经验（REU）网站奖西弗吉尼亚大学，专注于提供在纳米科学领域的智力刺激的研究经验，包括化学，物理和材料科学与生物应用。 该计划的目标是来自阿巴拉契亚地区的经济弱势和代表性不足的少数民族学生。 它将支持12名本科生，每年三年，使他们在夏季西弗吉尼亚大学的校园十周，并在几个资金充足的研究小组从事多学科研究项目。 定期的专业和社交会议，以促进参与的学生，教师和其他高级研究人员之间的互动，以及技术演示实践都包括在该计划中。学生们还将有机会参观附近的大型国家科学设施。整体经验预计将激励参与学生追求研究生教育和科学事业。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作共同资助。 在NSF内部，数学和物理科学理事会的材料研究部门和工程理事会的工程教育中心部门正在资助这个REU网站。
