US - Argentina, Brazil, Chile: Planning Visit to Extend Chemistry REU Opportunities to South America 05/01/07 - 05/12/07

这是一项向巴西、阿根廷和智利提供规划拨款的提案，用于规划南美 REU 化学基地。 PI 和 CO-PI 将访问巴西圣保罗大学 (USP)、智利天主教教皇大学 (PUC) 和阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯大学 (UBA)，还将与外国合作者一起访问地区和国家资助机构。 规划访问将确定其他合作者并规划重要的后勤方面，例如与国际 REU 站点的最佳运营相关的住房。将为提议的 REU 计划选择最好的一两个国家。 PI 和 CO-PI 还将为南美本科生互访美国寻找资助机会。 该奖项由化学系和国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）共同资助。

This is a proposal for a planning grant to Brazil, Argentina, and Chile to plan a South American REU site in chemistry. The PI and CO-PI's will visit the University of Sao Paulo-Brazil (USP), Papal University Catolica of Chile (PUC), and the University of Buenos Aires -Argentina (UBA) and will also visit the regional and national funding agencies with foreign collaborators. The planning visit will identify additional collaborators and plan important logistical aspects, such as housing, associated with optimal operations of an international REU site. The best one or two countries will be selected for the proposed REU program. The PI and CO-PI's will also identify funding opportunities for South American undergraduates to make reciprocal visits to the US. This award is being jointly funded by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE).
