This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site led by Brian Coppola and Melanie Sanford at the University of Michigan. The research projects supported in this site are in broad areas of chemistry. Undergraduates will be recruited to this site primarily from institutions that lack infrastructure to support undergraduate research, including students from underrepresented groups. The site will support fourteen students per summer in a ten week program. A sample of the projects that undergraduates will work on include: (1) ultrafast laser spectroscopy of solvation dynamics; (2) the study of nickel-based catalysts for chain-growth polymerizations; (3) two-photon spectroscopy of novel materials; (4) the formation and study of semifluorinated alkylsiloxane self-assembled monolayers; (5) the study of CH activation with Pt(II) diimine catalysts (6) the study of the kinetics for ligand attachment to dendritic nanoparticles. In addition to conducting research during the summer, the students participating in this program will participate in a number of professional development activities, and will have expanded opportunities for presentation of research at national disciplinary meetings. Young scientists need exposure to modern research methods and tools as part of their training. This REU site aims to provide cutting-edge research training in the chemical sciences, with a strong emphasis on areas of science with important societal impacts. Undergraduate researchers participating in this site will have significant, hands-on access to sophisticated research tools. The diverse student cohort participating in research at this site will be well-prepared for graduate school, and eventual employment as part of the country's technical workforce.

化学部（CHE）的这一奖项支持由密歇根大学的Brian Coppola和Melanie Sanford领导的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 该网站支持的研究项目涉及广泛的化学领域。 本科生将被招募到这个网站主要从机构缺乏基础设施，以支持本科生的研究，包括来自代表性不足的群体的学生。 该网站将支持14名学生每年夏天在一个为期十周的计划。 本科生将参与的项目包括：（1）溶剂化动力学的超快激光光谱学;（2）用于链增长聚合的镍基催化剂的研究;（3）新材料的双光子光谱学;（4）半氟化烷基硅氧烷自组装单分子膜的形成和研究;（5）Pt（II）二亚胺催化剂活化CH的研究（6）配体与树枝状纳米粒子连接的动力学研究。 除了在夏季进行研究，参加该计划的学生将参加一些专业发展活动，并将有更多的机会在国家学科会议上展示研究成果。 青年科学家需要接触现代研究方法和工具，作为其培训的一部分。 该网站旨在提供化学科学的前沿研究培训，重点关注具有重要社会影响的科学领域。 参与该网站的本科研究人员将有重要的，动手访问复杂的研究工具。 在该研究中心参与研究的多元化学生群体将为研究生院和最终作为国家技术劳动力的一部分就业做好充分准备。
