REU Site: Interdisciplinary Research Experience for Undergraduates in Chemistry and Physics at the University of Oregon

该奖项支持在俄勒冈州尤金大学的本科生（REU）的成功的研究经验，为2008年至2010年夏天的更新网站。 该网站由国防部与化学部（CHE）的NSF REU计划合作提供支持。 该项目将由化学系的一名教员杰拉尔丁里士满指导，并通过俄勒冈州大学的材料科学研究所进行。 这个REU网站将带来十名学生每年夏天到校园进行为期十周的化学和物理前沿研究。 学生将从全国各地的主要本科院校和当地社区学院招募，预计将在本科三年级或高级二年级完成化学或物理课程。 REU参与者将能够在化学和物理学的17名教师的实验室中选择他们的研究项目。为了进一步丰富学生的经验，在十周的时间里，计划了实验室外的活动，包括专业发展和职业决策方面的指导和培训。 在程序结束时，每个学生将提供他们的项目结果的演示文稿，并提交一份书面报告，总结他们的研究活动。

This award supports the renewal of a successful Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Oregon Eugene for the summers of 2008-2010. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU Program in the Division of Chemistry (CHE). The program will be directed by Geraldine Richmond, a faculty member in the Department of Chemistry, and run through the University of Oregon's Materials Science Institute. This REU site will bring ten students to campus for a ten-week period each summer to conduct cutting edge research in chemistry and physics. Students will be recruited from predominately undergraduate institutions around the country and local community colleges and are expected to have completed coursework in chemistry or physics at the undergraduate junior or advanced sophomore level. REU participants will be able to choose their research projects among the laboratories of 17 faculty members in chemistry and physics. To further enrich the students' experience, activities outside of the laboratory have been planned throughout the ten-week period including mentoring and training in professional development and career decision-making. At the end of the program, each student will provide a presentation on the results of their project and submit a written report that summarizes their research activities.
