项目摘要

This REU program in Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Arkansas seeks to motivate a diverse group of students to pursue careers in scientific research. Within our 8-state region, undergraduate students will be selected from academic institutions with limited research opportunities. A key facet of this development will be the opportunity given each participant to present their research at a meeting within the department, and to write up a summary of their work in a journal format that will be compiled for distribution to their home institution. The participants will visit local chemistry and nanotechnology start-up companies and a national laboratory (National Center for Toxicological Research, Jefferson, AR). The participants will be provided an experience which will not only enable them to obtain a realistic view of modern chemical research, but they will be exposed to an environment indicative of that to be expected in graduate school. The broadest impact of this program will be the preparation of scientists for global competition in science and innovation. The majority of the University of Arkansas REU participants over the years have continued their studies post baccalaureate in chemistry or biochemistry, and these individuals have now assumed positions of responsibility in the technical infrastructure of the chemical industry, as faculty at 4-year and Ph.D.-granting academic institutions, and as technical staff at a variety of Federal Laboratories and Agencies.

阿肯色大学化学和生物化学REU项目旨在激励不同群体的学生从事科学研究工作。在我们的8个州地区，本科生将从学术机构中挑选，研究机会有限。这一发展的一个关键方面将是每个参与者都有机会在系里的会议上展示他们的研究，并以期刊的形式撰写他们的工作摘要，这些摘要将被编辑并分发给他们的所在机构。与会者将参观当地的化学和纳米技术初创公司和一个国家实验室（美国杰斐逊毒理学研究中心）。参加者将获得一种经验，这不仅使他们能够对现代化学研究有一个现实的看法，而且他们将接触到一个表明研究生院预期的环境。该计划最广泛的影响将是为科学家在科学和创新领域的全球竞争做好准备。多年来，阿肯色大学REU的大多数参与者在获得化学或生物化学学士学位后继续他们的研究，这些人现在已经在化学工业的技术基础设施中承担了责任，作为四年制和博士学位授予学术机构的教员，以及作为各种联邦实验室和机构的技术人员。
