REU Site: Germany-U.S. Summer Research Program in Chemistry

该奖项由化学系和国际科学与工程办公室颁发，支持本科生研究经验（REU）网站，以促进美国和德国之间的本科生交流。美国化学会国际事务办公室的塔玛拉·纳梅罗夫和她的同事将指导这个试点项目。与当前化学REU现场主任的合作将有助于确保这次试验的成功。该计划将扩大美国化学本科生对RISE（德国科学与发展研究院（DAAD）的夏季本科研究项目）的参与，并将同等数量的DAAD资助的德国本科研究人员安置在美国的化学REU基地。参与者还将有机会在2007年秋季美国化学学会会议上展示他们的研究成果。学生将提高他们的研究技能，并获得与多元文化团队合作和跨国界交流的经验。该计划将建立在现有的NSF-REU和DAAD-RISE结构的基础上，并将国际伙伴关系的价值推广到其他国家和其他科学和工程学科。

This award from the Division of Chemistry and the Office of International Science and Engineering supports a Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) site to foster undergraduate exchange between the United States and Germany. Tamara Nameroff and her colleagues in the Office of International Affairs of the American Chemical Society will direct this pilot program. Collaboration with current Chemistry REU site directors will help ensure the success of this trial. The program will expand participation of US chemistry undergraduates in RISE (a summer undergraduate research program of the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD)) and place an equal number of DAAD-funded, German undergraduate researchers in Chemistry REU sites in the US. Participants also will be provided the opportunity to present their research results at the Fall, 2007 meeting of the American Chemical Society. Students will improve their research skills and gain experience working with multicultural teams and communicating across international borders. The program will build on the existing NSF-REU and DAAD-RISE structures and promote the value of international partnerships to other countries and to other scientific and engineering disciplines.
