This award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Chemistry Department of Clemson University during the summers of 2008-2010. Twelve NSF funded students will form the core of a larger program of 25-30 students, which includes 3-5 students recruited from collaborating institutions abroad. Participants engage in ten weeks of independent research in a project of their choice, under the guidance of one of 23 faculty advisors with a variety of interests in 3 focus areas with high current impact: chemistry of advanced materials, chemistry of biological systems, and chemistry education. Weekly instrumentation workshops and professional development tutorials are also provided. Participants give one short oral proposal presentation, write an abstract, prepare a poster, submit their research report in journal format, and participate in a peer reviewing process of these reports. In addition, there is a final college-wide symposium at which students present the results of their work in a poster format. Application to this program is open to all junior and senior chemistry majors, but special efforts are placed on recruiting minority students as well as applicants from non-PhD granting institutions. This REU site is jointly supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program and by the NSF Divisions of Chemistry and Materials Research.

该奖项支持克莱姆森大学化学系2008-2010年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)站点。NSF资助的12名学生将构成一个更大的项目的核心，该项目有25-30名学生，其中包括从海外合作机构招募的3-5名学生。参与者在23名教师顾问的指导下，对他们选择的一个项目进行了为期10周的独立研究，他们对3个当前影响很大的重点领域有不同的兴趣：先进材料化学、生物系统化学和化学教育。还提供每周的仪表讲习班和专业发展教程。参与者做一个简短的口头提案报告，写一篇摘要，准备一张海报，以期刊的形式提交他们的研究报告，并参与这些报告的同行审查过程。此外，还有一个全校范围的最后研讨会，学生们在会上以海报的形式展示他们的工作成果。该项目对所有化学专业的大三和大四学生开放，但在招收少数族裔学生和非博士学位授予机构的申请者方面做出了特别努力。该REU网站由国防部与NSF REU计划以及NSF化学和材料研究部门共同支持。
