iREU Site: Building International Bridges for U.S. Chemistry Undergraduates

化学部(CHE)的这一奖项支持由美国化学学会(ACS)的布拉德利·米勒(Bradley Miller)组织和管理的2008-2010年夏季新的国际本科生研究体验(IREU)。IREU采取了一种非传统的方法，将美国学生与欧洲各地的本科生研究经验联系起来，并通过美国化学REU网站网络将欧洲学生与美国各地的本科生研究经验联系起来。美国学生将通过与德国的Akademischer Austausch Dienst(DAAD)及其在德国的科学与工程研究实习(RISE)计划以及欧洲化学专题网络(ECTN)及其在被公认为科学知识主要生产者的欧洲化学专题网络(ECTN)成员国的合作机构合作，被安置在欧洲各地。2008-2010年，伙伴机构将包括里昂高等物理学院(法国里昂CPE)、佩鲁贾大学(意大利)和斯特拉斯克莱德大学(苏格兰，英国)。18名美国学生将在全国范围内被招募参加这个为期10周的iREU项目。15名美国学生将通过RISE被送往德国，DAAD将向美国派遣同等数量的学生。一名美国学生将前往佩鲁贾，一名前往里昂，一名前往斯特拉斯克莱德，这些机构将分别向美国派遣一名学生。参与者将与化学或其相关学科的传统核心领域的研究导师和项目相匹配，包括生物化学、化学工程和化学生物学。所有ACS-iREU参与者将被邀请在实习结束后的秋季ACS全国会议上展示他们的研究成果，并参加iREU教职员工、学生和来自相关国家的关键科学家举行的招待会。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports a new international Research Experiences for Undergraduates (iREU) organized and managed by Bradley Miller of the American Chemical Society (ACS) for the summers of 2008-2010. This iREU takes a non-traditional approach by connecting U.S. students with undergraduate research experiences throughout Europe and by connecting European students with undergraduate research experiences throughout the U.S. through the network of U.S. Chemistry REU sites. U.S. students will be placed throughout Europe through collaboration with the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD) and its Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE) program in Germany and with the European Chemistry Thematic Network (ECTN) and its partner institutions in ECTN member states that are recognized as major producers of scientific knowledge. For 2008-2010, partner institutions will include the Ecole Superieure de Chimie Physique Electronique de Lyon (CPE-Lyon, France), the Universita degli Studi di Perugia (Italy), and the University of Strathclyde (Scotland, UK). Eighteen U.S. students will be recruited nationally to participate in this ten-week iREU program. Fifteen U.S. students will be sent to Germany through RISE, and the DAAD will send an equal number of students to the U.S. One U.S. student will go to Perugia, one to Lyon, and one to Strathclyde, and these institutions will each send one student to the U.S. Participants will be matched with research mentors and projects within the traditional core areas of chemistry or its associated disciplines, including biochemistry, chemical engineering, and chemical biology. All ACS-iREU participants will be invited to present their research at the Fall ACS National Meeting after their internship and attend a reception bringing together the iREU faculty, students, and key scientists from the countries involved.
