The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Texas State University- San Marcos will bring 12 students to campus for ten weeks each summer to conduct research in a supportive research environment. The summer research project seeks to build a multidisciplinary chemistry research community with a focus on Molecular Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CheMIE). The twelve student participants will engage in a 10 week traditional research experience while exploring how basic research contributes to molecular innovation, entrepreneurship and economic development in the molecular sciences. The CheMIE REU will build a research community at Texas State that will provide a research environment for students who otherwise would not be able to participate in undergraduate research. The students will join the active research community that exists at Texas State and participate in research experiences in chemistry, biochemistry, and material science that will lead to professional presentations and peer-reviewed publications. At the same time, the students will be participating in an interdisciplinary group study of innovation and entrepreneurship guided by faculty from the College of Business and the College of Science program in Material Science, Engineering and Commercialization. This combination of research and innovation training will give students the opportunity to understand both academic and industrial research. The academically diverse faculty at Texas State and the existing collaborations between the science and the business faculty make Texas State an ideal location to pursue this novel REU model.The CheMIE REU participants will be students traditionally underrepresented in the sciences and those who would otherwise be unable to participate in undergraduate research. The primary recruitment focus will be students at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) and two year colleges within 50 miles of Texas State. This region includes eight PUIs and six two year colleges, including two Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and ten Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). The fourteen partner schools, whose students have limited access to undergraduate research opportunities, educate over 128,000 students, 50% of whom are underrepresented minorities. The overall CheMIE REU experience will increase the participation of these students in graduate programs in chemistry, biochemistry and material science.

德克萨斯州立大学-圣马科斯分校化学和生物化学系的本科生研究经验（REU）计划每年夏天将有12名学生到校园进行为期十周的研究，以在支持性的研究环境中进行研究。夏季研究项目旨在建立一个多学科的化学研究社区，重点是分子创新和创业（CheMIE）。12名学生将参与为期10周的传统研究经验，同时探索基础研究如何有助于分子科学的分子创新，创业和经济发展。该CheMIE REU将建立一个研究社区在得克萨斯州，将提供一个研究环境的学生，否则将无法参与本科研究。学生将加入德克萨斯州立大学活跃的研究社区，并参与化学，生物化学和材料科学的研究经验，这将导致专业演讲和同行评议的出版物。与此同时，学生将参加由商学院和理学院材料科学，工程和商业化课程教师指导的创新和创业跨学科小组研究。这种研究和创新培训的结合将使学生有机会了解学术和工业研究。德克萨斯州立大学学术多元化的教师队伍以及科学和商业教师之间现有的合作使德克萨斯州立大学成为追求这种新颖的REU模式的理想场所。CheMIE REU参与者将是传统上在科学领域代表性不足的学生以及那些无法参与本科研究的学生。主要的招聘重点将是在德克萨斯州50英里范围内的小学本科院校（PUI）和两年制大学的学生。该地区包括八个PUI和六个两年制学院，包括两个历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）和十个西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）。14所合作学校的学生获得本科研究机会有限，教育了128，000多名学生，其中50%是代表性不足的少数民族。整个CheMIE REU的经验将增加这些学生在化学，生物化学和材料科学研究生课程的参与。
