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

该化学部门奖支持堪萨斯大学2007-2009年夏季本科生研究经验（REU）站点。Joseph A. Heppert是项目主任，Mikhail V. Barybin是联合主任。该项目将在一个高度合作和跨学科的研究环境中为10名学生提供每年的初步研究经验。参与者将主要从基本有限或没有研究基础设施的本科院校招募。该计划的关键组成部分是职业提升和教育活动，鼓励和准备学生在新兴和跨学科化学科学领域的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中提供指导和反馈。此外，学生将发展口头和书面展示其研究成果的重要技能。

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.
