This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports a previously funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Connecticut (UConn) for the summers of 2008-2010. This REU site will be managed by Christian Brueckner with assistance from Mark Peczuh, both from the Department of Chemistry at UConn. This REU site will bring eight students to campus for a ten-week period each summer to conduct cutting edge research in chemistry. An additional 1-2 students each summer will be supported with institutional funds. Faculty mentors with active research labs in the areas of organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, biological, and polymer chemistry will be available to the REU students. A partnership with Central Connecticut State University (CCSU), a primarily undergraduate institution where research opportunities in chemistry are limited, will be developed and each summer, two positions will be held for two students at CCSU. Research projects for these students will be designed so that they can be continued at CCSU once the summer research program at UConn has ended. As a new program for this funding cycle, a faculty member at CCSU, Guy Crundwell, will introduce small molecule single crystal CCD X-ray diffraction. Various other seminars will introduce the students to topics such as safe practices in the laboratories, how to present research results effectively, ethical issues in science, careers in chemistry, and scientific writing. Another highlight of the ancillary program is a guided tour of Pfizer Central Research Laboratories, a regional industrial research facility. The UConn REU program will culminate in oral presentations and a poster symposium shared among all of UConn's REU programs.

该奖项由化学学部（CHE）颁发，支持康涅狄格大学（UConn） 2008-2010年夏季本科生研究经验（REU）项目。这个REU网站将由康涅狄格大学化学系的Christian Brueckner和Mark Peczuh协助管理。这个REU站点每年夏天将带八名学生到校园进行为期十周的化学前沿研究。每年夏天将额外资助1-2名学生。在有机，无机，分析，物理，生物和聚合物化学领域活跃的研究实验室的教师导师将提供给REU学生。与中央康涅狄格州立大学（CCSU）建立合作伙伴关系，该大学主要是一所本科院校，化学研究机会有限，每年夏天将为CCSU的两名学生提供两个职位。为这些学生设计的研究项目将在康涅狄格大学的夏季研究项目结束后继续在CCSU进行。作为本资助周期的一个新项目，CCSU的一位教员Guy Crundwell将介绍小分子单晶CCD x射线衍射。其他各种研讨会将向学生介绍实验室的安全操作、如何有效地展示研究成果、科学中的伦理问题、化学职业和科学写作等主题。辅助项目的另一个亮点是辉瑞中央研究实验室的导游，这是一个区域工业研究设施。康涅狄格大学REU项目将以口头报告和海报研讨会的形式在康涅狄格大学REU所有项目中共享。
