This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports the renewal of a successful Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) for the summers of 2008-2010. This site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program in the Division of Chemistry (CHE) and the Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI). The program will be organized and managed by Michael Pullin from the Chemistry Department at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The project will provide twelve undergraduate students with research experience for 9-weeks in a cross-disciplinary study of environmentally related topics that span the fields of chemistry, biology, Earth sciences, and environmental sciences. Recruitment plans will specifically target Hispanic and Native American students and students from schools that lack large, Ph.D.-level research programs. A collaborative partnership has been developed between New Mexico Tech and four minority-serving regional two and four year institutions in New Mexico: Dine College, San Juan College, Northern New Mexico College, and New Mexico Highlands University. Several field trips are planned to expose the participants to the rich scientific, cultural, and historical heritage of New Mexico. The program will end with a final research conference where each research group will give an oral presentation on their project.

该奖项来自化学学部（CHE），支持2008-2010年夏季在新墨西哥矿业与技术学院（新墨西哥理工学院）成功更新本科生研究经验（REU）站点。该网站是由国防部与化学部门（CHE）和生物基础设施部门（DBI）的NSF REU项目合作资助的。该项目将由新墨西哥矿业与技术学院化学系的Michael Pullin组织和管理。该项目将为12名本科生提供为期9周的跨学科环境相关课题研究经验，涵盖化学、生物学、地球科学和环境科学等领域。招聘计划将专门针对西班牙裔和美洲原住民学生，以及来自缺乏大型博士级研究项目的学校的学生。新墨西哥理工学院与新墨西哥州四所为少数民族服务的地区两年制和四年制大学之间建立了合作伙伴关系：Dine学院、圣胡安学院、北新墨西哥学院和新墨西哥高地大学。计划进行几次实地考察，让参与者了解新墨西哥州丰富的科学、文化和历史遗产。该项目将以最后的研究会议结束，每个研究小组将对他们的项目进行口头报告。
