REU Site: A Summer Experience for Undergraduates Integrating Research, Education, and Career Development in an Interdisciplinary Environment

这一化学系奖项支持堪萨斯大学2007-2009年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。约瑟夫·A·赫伯特是项目主任，米哈伊尔·V·巴里宾是联合主任。该计划将在高度协作和跨学科的研究环境中为每年10名学生提供初步研究经验。参与者将主要从研究基础设施有限或根本没有研究基础设施的本科生机构招聘。这一计划的关键组成部分是职业提升和教育活动，这些活动将鼓励和准备学生在新兴的和跨学科的化学科学领域进行研究生学习和职业生涯。参与者与他们的教师、研究生和博士后导师之间的密切互动将在整个项目及以后提供指导和反馈。此外，学生还将为口头和书面陈述他们的研究成果培养重要的技能。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Kansas for the summers of 2007-2009. Joseph A. Heppert is the program director and Mikhail V. Barybin is the co-director. The program will provide initial research experiences for ten students/year in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment. Participants will be recruited from primarily undergraduate institutions with substantially limited or no research infrastructures. Key components of this program are career enhancement and educational activities that will encourage and prepare the students for graduate studies and careers in emerging and interdisciplinary areas of the chemical sciences. Close interactions between the participants and their faculty, graduate student, and postdoctoral mentors will provide guidance and feedback throughout the program and beyond. In addition, the students will develop important skills for the oral and written presentation of their research accomplishments.
