REU Site: Research Experience in Urban Environmental Biogeochemistry at Towson University

该奖项由化学学部（CHE）与生物基础设施学部（DBI）和地球科学部（EAR）共同资助，支持2008-2010年夏季陶森大学本科生研究经验（REU）的新项目。该计划包括由社会和经济科学司（SES）资助的伦理部分。该项目将由陶森大学化学系的Ryan Casey指导和管理。该基地将为7名本科生提供为期10周的城市环境生物地球化学跨学科研究经验。这7名学生将获得国家科学基金的资助。目标学生将培养化学，生物，地质，环境科学或其他相关领域的大三和大四学生。该计划的主要重点将是参与者的研究技能的发展。学生还将被要求参加旨在培养讨论、展示和撰写项目成果所需技能的活动。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE), with cofunding from the Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI), and the Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Towson University for the summers of 2008-2010. This program includes an ethics component which is funded through the Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES). The program will be directed and managed by Ryan Casey of the Department of Chemistry at Towson University. This site will provide seven undergraduate students with research experience for 10-weeks in the cross-disciplinary area of urban environmental biogeochemistry. All seven students will be supported with NSF funds. Targeted students will be raising juniors and seniors who are majoring in Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Environmental Science or other related areas. The primary focus of the program will be the development of the participants' research skills. Students will also be required to participate in activities designed to build the skill sets needed to discuss, present, and write up the results of their projects.
