This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) and the EPSCoR Office at the National Science Foundation supports the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Mississippi. The site leaders will bring 10 students to campus for 10 weeks each summer to conduct research in the area of Physical Chemistry. This REU Site will allow undergraduates who are recruited from other institutions to participate in the Ole Miss Physical Chemistry Summer Research Program, which is an established summer program that has a demonstrated track record for fostering communication and collaboration between the members of the physical and computational chemistry research groups at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). These students will perform original research in successful, funded, and collaborating research groups. They will also take part in a summer-long schedule of organized academic and social activities with Ole Miss undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff. This natural expansion of an established summer program will allow additional students to take advantage of a developed program, while at the same time supporting multiple NSF-funded research groups with undergraduate research students in a collaborative environment. Undergraduate student participants in the REU program will have the opportunity to perform original research in the laboratories of six faculty members and at the Mississippi Center for Supercomputing Research (MCSR). Many of the projects outlined are collaborative, with mentoring by multiple senior personnel who will provide research experiences in many different areas. Centered on experimental and theoretical physical chemistry, the research projects include synthetic design of novel emissive materials, determining the photophysical properties of newly-developed materials, the spectroscopic study and computational modeling of important biologically relevant interactions, and computational modeling of newly-developed materials with energy or drug development applications. Recruitment of students from schools with large numbers of underrepresented groups is planned, with contacts having been made at Rust College, Alcorn State University, Mississippi Valley State University, and Tougaloo College, all are traditionally Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). In addition, students will be recruited from Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) such as Millsaps College, Mississippi University for Women, Belhaven College, and Mississippi College.

国家科学基金会化学系（CHE）和EPSCOR办公室的奖项支持密西西比大学的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验。每年夏天，现场领导者将将10名学生带到校园中10周，以在物理化学领域进行研究。该REU网站将允许从其他机构招募的本科生参加Ole Miss物理化学夏季研究计划，该计划是一项既定的夏季计划，在密西西比大学（Ole Miss）（Ole Miss）的物理和计算化学研究小组之间促进沟通和协作的往绩记录。这些学生将在成功，资助和协作研究小组中进行原始研究。他们还将与Ole Miss的本科生和研究生，教职员工和员工一起参加夏季有组织的学术和社交活动时间表。建立的夏季计划的这种自然扩展将使更多的学生能够利用开发计划，同时在协作环境中与本科生的多个NSF资助的研究小组一起支持多个由NSF资助的研究小组。 REU计划的本科生参与者将有机会在六名教职员工和密西西比州超级计算研究中心（MCSR）的实验室进行原始研究。概述的许多项目都是协作的，由多位高级人员进行指导，他们将在许多不同领域提供研究经验。研究项目以实验性和理论化学化学为中心，包括新型发射材料的合成设计，确定新开发材料的光物理特性，光谱研究和重要的生物学相关相互作用的计算模型，以及与能量或药物开发应用的新型材料的计算建模。计划招募来自人数不足的学校的学生，并计划在Rust College，Alcorn州立大学，密西西比河谷州立大学和Tougaloo College建立联系，所有这些都是传统上历史上历史上的黑人学院（HBCU）。此外，还将从主要是本科机构（PUI）的学生招募，例如米尔萨普斯学院，密西西比大学女性，贝尔哈文学院和密西西比学院。
