This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE), with cofunding from the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) and the Division of Materials Research (DMR), supports a new international Research Experiences for Undergraduates (iREU) site at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor (UM) and Peking University (PKU) in Beijing, China for the summers of 2008-2010. The program will be organized and managed by Brian Coppola, Associate Dean of the UM Department of Chemistry, with assistance from James Penner-Hahn, Associate Dean for Research in the Natural Sciences in the UM College of Literature, Science and Arts. The PKU Chemistry Department Vice Dean, Professor Li Zi-Chen, will serve as the in-department REU program coordinator in Beijing. Thirteen junior or senior undergraduates (10 supported by NSF and 3 supported by institutional funds) will travel to Beijing, China to participate in a ten-and-a-half week program in the Department of Chemistry at Peking University (PKU). During the first two-and-a-half weeks of the program, the U.S. REU students will participate in an intensive orientation to the Chinese language and culture, conducted mainly by immersion in Beijing. The students will spend the remaining eight weeks conducting independent research projects within PKU research groups. Peking University is the premiere research university in China and supports the traditional core areas of chemistry and interdisciplinary work in the chemical sciences. Over 50% of the chemistry faculty works in areas that overlap with other major areas of science including: Medicinal Chemistry, Materials Science & Engineering, Polymer Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biological Chemistry, and the Life Sciences. This program is being set up as a bilateral exchange, using funding from the China side for its students to do research at UM. At the end of the ten-and-a-half week program, the U.S. REU students will participate in a joint, intercontinental electronic poster session with their Chinese counterparts who are working in the U.S.

该奖项由化学学部（CHE）在国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）和材料研究部（DMR）的共同资助下，于2008-2010年夏季在密歇根大学安娜堡分校（UM）和北京大学（PKU）设立一个新的本科生国际研究经验（iREU）项目。该项目将由澳大化学系副院长Brian Coppola组织和管理，并由澳大文学、科学和艺术学院自然科学研究副院长James Penner-Hahn协助。北京大学化学系副院长李子晨教授将担任该系REU项目驻北京协调员。13名大三或大四本科生（10名由国家科学基金资助，3名由机构基金资助）将前往中国北京，参加北京大学化学系为期10周半的项目。在项目的前两个半星期，美国REU的学生将参加一个密集的中国语言和文化介绍，主要是在北京进行沉浸式学习。剩下的八周，学生们将在北京大学的研究小组中进行独立的研究项目。北京大学是中国一流的研究型大学，支持化学的传统核心领域和化学科学的跨学科工作。超过50%的化学教师在与其他主要科学领域重叠的领域工作，包括：药物化学、材料科学与工程、聚合物化学、化学工程、生物化学和生命科学。这个项目是一个双边交流项目，由中方资助中国学生在澳大进行研究。在为期十周半的课程结束时，美国REU学生将与在美国工作的中国同行一起参加一个联合洲际电子海报会议
