REU Site: Interdisciplinary Research at the Chemistry/Biology Interface for Undergraduates

该化学部奖支持2007-2009年夏季在俄亥俄州州立大学（OSU）的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。项目负责人是乔纳森·帕奎特。该计划将从HBCUs，当地两年制学院和俄亥俄州的夏季研究机会计划（SROP）招募不同的本科生。 此外，该计划将针对谁参加了在俄勒冈州立大学的研究作为高中生或参加当地高中代表性不足的学生。这个为期十周的课程将向学生介绍化学-生物学-纳米技术界面的科学文化和思维方式。 研究项目的设计是跨学科的，技术上可管理的，科学上有趣的学生谁已经完成了两三年的本科化学。学生将参加关于图书馆使用，科学计算和NMR的研讨会。参与者还将参加以职业为重点的圆桌讨论和演讲，从研究到科学伦理到申请研究生院的过程。REU的参与者将撰写一份研究报告，并在部门海报会议上展示他们的结果。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Ohio State University (OSU) for the summers of 2007-2009. The program director is Jonathan Parquette. The program will recruit a diverse group of undergraduates from HBCUs, local two-year colleges, and from the Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) at Ohio State. In addition, the program will target underrepresented students who participated in research at OSU as high school students or attended local high schools. This ten-week program will introduce students to the culture and mindset of science at the chemistry-biology-nanotechnology interface. The research projects have been designed to be interdisciplinary, technically manageable, and scientifically interesting for students who have completed two or three years of undergraduate chemistry. Students will attend workshops on library use, scientific computing, and NMR. Participants also will participate in career-focused, roundtable discussions and presentations ranging from research to science ethics to the process of applying to graduate school. The REU participants will write a research report and present their results at a department poster session.
