This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports the renewal of a successful Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Michigan (UM) Ann Arbor for the summers of 2008-2010. This site will be managed by Brian Coppola with assistance from Melanie Sanford both from the Department of Chemistry at UM. Thirteen individuals from around the United States, typically rising sophomores and juniors, will comprise the central component of this site. Eight students will be supported by NSF-REU, three will be supported by University funds, and two will be supported by the Intel Corporation, a leader in the computing and communcations industry. The REU students have access to all of the research groups associated with the chemistry department, including interdisciplinary programs in materials chemistry, chemical biology, life science, medicinal chemistry, and environmental chemistry. In addition to departmental seminars and symposia other non-research program activities include: training on laboratory safety and environmentally safe laboratory practices, the use of on-line Chemistry library resources (SciFinder, Beilstein, etc.), ethics, chemical instrumentation, field trips to local chemical industry, mentoring for applying to graduate school, and career mentoring including science career options, job searches, interview preparation and resume writing. Each research group will require oral presentations as a natural part of their scientific activities and all students will write a final progress report. Finally, a regional research symposium will be held at one of the REU Site-holding schools where undergraduates from across the area will gather to present their work.

化学部（CHE）颁发的这一奖项支持密歇根大学（UM）安阿伯2008-2010年夏季成功的本科生研究经验（REU）网站的更新。 这个网站将由布赖恩科波拉与梅勒妮桑福德都从化学系在UM的协助下管理。 来自美国各地的13个人，通常是正在崛起的大学生和大三学生，将构成这个网站的核心组成部分。八名学生将得到NSF-REU的支持，三名将得到大学基金的支持，两名将得到计算和通信行业领导者英特尔公司的支持。 REU学生可以访问与化学系相关的所有研究小组，包括材料化学，化学生物学，生命科学，药物化学和环境化学的跨学科课程。 除了部门研讨会和专题讨论会外，其他非研究计划活动包括：实验室安全和环境安全实验室实践培训，在线化学图书馆资源（Scientist，贝尔斯坦等）的使用，伦理、化学仪器、当地化学工业实地考察、申请研究生院的指导以及职业指导，包括科学职业选择、求职、面试准备和简历撰写。 每个研究小组将要求口头报告作为他们的科学活动的自然组成部分，所有学生将写一份最终进度报告。 最后，一个区域研究研讨会将在一个REU网站持有学校举行，来自该地区的本科生将聚集在一起，介绍他们的工作。
