REU Site: Collaborative Research in the Chemical Sciences at the University of Arizona

化学部奖支持2009年至2011年夏天在亚利桑那大学的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验。该网站的重点是让来自主要非博士授予机构的本科生接触到合作研究环境，以启动或发展追求科学事业的愿望。该网站是由项目主任卡特里娜协调米兰达和共同PI多米尼克麦格拉思，化学系的两个协助。化学科学的繁荣取决于来自不同学科和子学科的研究人员之间的思想共享。协作环境是一个令人兴奋的氛围，将灌输给学生的研究和对化学的热情的享受。该网站将主要从提供有限研究机会的机构招募女性和代表性不足的少数民族物理科学学生。这些学生将从各种研究和研究相关的活动中受益，并将被鼓励从事化学职业。该计划的核心将是独立的研究与教师导师辅以一系列的研讨会，这将有助于准备REU学生进行研究，开始思考和讨论有关科学和研究环境中的伦理问题，并考虑在化学职业机会。REU学生的海报研讨会以及其他校园暑期研究项目将在项目结束时举行。课程结束后，REU学生将被鼓励在区域或国家会议上展示他们的研究。

The Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Arizona for the summers of 2009-2011. The site is focused on exposing undergraduates from predominantly non-PhD granting institutions to collaborative research environments in order to initiate or develop aspirations to pursue scientific careers. The site is coordinated by program director Katrina Miranda and assisted by co-PI Dominic McGrath, both of the Chemistry Department. The chemical sciences thrive on the sharing of ideas among researchers from various disciplines and sub-disciplines. The collaborative environment is an exciting atmosphere that will instill in students the enjoyment of research and an enthusiasm for chemistry. The site will recruit primarily women and underrepresented minority physical science students from institutions that offer limited research opportunities. These students will benefit from the variety of research and research-related activities and will be encouraged to pursue careers in chemistry. The core of the program will be independent research with a faculty mentor supplemented by a series of workshops that will help prepare the REU students to perform research, to initiate thought and discussion about ethical issues in science and the research environment, and to consider career opportunities in chemistry. A poster symposium for the REU students as well as other on-campus summer research programs will be held at the conclusion of the program. After the program, the REU students will be encouraged to present their research at regional or national conferences.
