This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Duquesne University for the summers of 2007-2009. The program director is Jeffrey D. Evanseck, assisted by co-PI, Jeffry D. Madura. Ten sophomore or junior undergraduates will participate in a ten-week program, which integrates computational and experimental research into broad scientific themes such as nanotechnology, homeland security, advanced instrumentation, pharmaceuticals, forensic sciences and chemical biology. Each student will work with an experimental faculty mentor in the laboratory and consult with a theoretical faculty liaison to integrate a computational component into their study. The program incorporates workshops on computational methods, weekly seminars, and student participation in a regional undergraduate research symposium. Recruitment will target underrepresented students as well as students from institutions with limited research opportunities. Research experiences will be expanded to include faculty members from the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) and primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). Faculty from Duquesne University, Florida Memorial College, Jackson State University, State University of New York at New Paltz and Prairie View A&M University will serve as student mentors. Integrating LSAMP/PUI faculty into Duquesne's research environment will greatly facilitate undergraduate research at the LSAMP/PUI institutions, resulting in a year round collaborative research experience for the student participants. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

这一化学系奖项支持杜奎恩大学2007-2009年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。该项目的负责人是杰弗里·D·伊万塞克，由联席PI杰弗里·D·马杜拉协助。十名大二或大三的本科生将参加一个为期十周的项目，该项目将计算和实验研究整合到广泛的科学主题中，如纳米技术、国土安全、先进仪器、制药、法医科学和化学生物学。每个学生将在实验室与一名实验教师导师合作，并咨询理论教师联络员，以将计算部分整合到他们的研究中。该计划包括关于计算方法的研讨会，每周研讨会，以及学生参加地区本科生研究研讨会。招聘将针对代表性不足的学生以及研究机会有限的机构的学生。研究经验将扩大到包括路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟(LSAMP)和主要是本科生机构(PUI)的教职员工。来自杜奎恩大学、佛罗里达纪念学院、杰克逊州立大学、纽约州立大学新帕尔茨分校和普莱里维尤农工大学的教师将担任学生导师。将LSAMP/PUI的教师整合到杜肯的研究环境中，将极大地促进LSAMP/PUI机构的本科生研究，为学生参与者带来全年的协作研究体验。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作提供支持。
