The Division of Chemistry supports this REU site at Washington State University (WSU), in Pullman WA, for the summers of 2009-2011. The Program Director is Dr. James A. Brozik and will be assisted by Ms. Lori Bruce during the 9.5-week program. This REU site emphasizes the more quantitative aspects of biological chemistry and chemistry related to biological systems. This REU site provides students the opportunity to (1) obtain a hands-on research experience working on an individual project that utilizes state-of-the-art physical and chemical characterization tools to quantitatively address biologically relevant problems, (2) formally and informally learn about the strong connections between chemistry and biology, (3) be a part of a truly collaborative research effort (by being a member of a dynamic, active research group), and (4) experience a new school and / or research environment in a different part of the country. Through participation in WSU's Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE), participants benefit from: (1) co-located housing for all REU and internally funded summer undergraduate research programs, (2) participation in coordinated group activities on campus and the surrounding area, (3) can take advantage of workshops on Library Skills, Intellectual Property, and Poster Presentation Skills, and (4) participation in an end of the summer poster symposium highlighting research from the Science and Engineering summer programs from across the campus (40+ student posters). In this way, the students are exposed to new colleagues from diverse fields of study in Science and Engineering and are totally immersed within a larger community of student-scholars with similar goals but diverse interests. Being a part of a larger community can lead to a richer more positive summer experience.

2009-2011年夏季，化学部支持位于华盛顿州普尔曼的华盛顿州立大学（WSU）的REU网站。 项目负责人是James A.在为期9.5周的课程中，洛里女士将协助布罗齐克和布鲁斯。该网站强调生物化学和与生物系统相关的化学的更多定量方面。这个REU网站为学生提供了机会，（1）获得动手研究经验，利用国家的最先进的物理和化学表征工具，以定量解决生物学相关的问题，（2）正式和非正式地了解化学和生物学之间的紧密联系，（3）成为一个真正的合作研究工作的一部分（通过成为一个充满活力，活跃的研究小组的成员），以及（4）在该国的不同地区体验新的学校和/或研究环境。通过参与WSU的本科教育办公室（OUE），参与者受益于：（1）所有REU和内部资助的夏季本科生研究项目的共同住房，（2）参与校园和周边地区的协调小组活动，（3）可以利用图书馆技能，知识产权和海报展示技能的研讨会，以及（4）参加夏季海报研讨会的结束，突出了来自整个校园的科学和工程夏季项目的研究（40多张学生海报）。 通过这种方式，学生们接触到来自科学和工程研究不同领域的新同事，并完全沉浸在一个更大的学生学者社区中，这些学生学者具有相似的目标，但不同的兴趣。 成为一个更大的社区的一部分可以带来更丰富更积极的夏季体验。
