This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of North Dakota (UND) for the summers of 2009-2011. The site is implemented by the Sustainable Energy Research Initiative and Supporting Education (SUNRISE) program. It is coordinated by program director Evguenii Kozliak of Chemistry assisted by co-PI Wayne Seames from the Department of Chemical Engineering. SUNRISE science and engineering faculty will serve as REU mentors to at least eight NSF-supported students plus additional students supported by other sources conducting chemistry-focused undergraduate research that contributes to the advancement of sustainable energy technologies. The ten-week summer program includes weekly sessions with an emphasis on publication-quality research projects and the improvement of oral and written communications skills. An ethics component is designed to motivate participants to learn, and more importantly, to practice ethics. SUNRISE is committed to training individuals who will develop the necessary innovative solutions to these problems and who can speak to the impact of these issues to diverse populations. Native American students will be recruited from two feeder programs, SUNRISE's Native American Freshman Experience and UND's American Indians in Engineering. SUNRISE partnerships with two minority serving non-doctoral California State University schools will be utilized to recruit students who otherwise would be unlikely to consider research as a career, including Hispanic, women and other underrepresented group students. Other participants will be recruited from non-research colleges and Universities in the upper Midwest. Students will conclude the program with a university-wide poster session.

该化学部门奖项支持北达科他大学 (UND) 2009-2011 年夏季的本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。该网站由可持续能源研究计划和支持教育 (SUNRISE) 计划实施。该项目由化学项目主任 Evguenii Kozliak 协调，并由化学工程系联合 PI Wayne Seames 协助。 SUNRISE 科学与工程学院将担任至少 8 名 NSF 支持的学生以及其他获得其他来源支持的学生的 REU 导师，这些学生进行以化学为重点的本科研究，为可持续能源技术的进步做出贡献。为期十周的夏季课程包括每周一次的课程，重点是出版质量的研究项目以及口头和书面沟通技巧的提高。道德成分旨在激励参与者学习，更重要的是，实践道德。 SUNRISE 致力于培训能够为这些问题开发必要的创新解决方案并能够讲述这些问题对不同人群的影响的个人。美国原住民学生将从两个衔接项目中招募：SUNRISE 的美国原住民新生体验项目和 UND 的美国印第安人工程项目。 SUNRISE 与加州州立大学两所少数族裔非博士学校的合作伙伴关系将用于招收原本不太可能将研究作为职业的学生，​​包括西班牙裔、女性和其他代表性不足的群体学生。其他参与者将从中西部北部的非研究型学院和大学招募。学生们将以全校范围内的海报展示活动结束该项目。
