This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports the renewal of an International Research Experiences for Undergraduates (iREU) site between the University of Florida and France for the summers of 2012-2014. This renewal involves Morehouse College, a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI). The U.S. program will be under the overall direction of Professors Adrian E. Roitberg, Valeria D. Kleiman, and Daniel Talham of UF and Professor James P. Brown, of Morehouse College. The focus of the program provides an extended international summer research project in materials chemistry. It starts each year with a spring pre-departure meeting in the US in order to prepare participants for their extended stay abroad. The length of the program allows for meaningful contributions to research projects that will lead to peer review publications with undergraduate co-authorship. US faculty will also be in France each summer to provide on-site mentoring. This is made possible through invited professor positions contributed by French partners. Students are distributed in groups of at least 2 per research site spread over 3 different sites (Paris, Toulouse and Strasbourg) and assigned to research groups according to their previous experience and application statements. The students will have the opportunity to disseminate their research results to a broad audience at the undergraduate poster session at the American Chemical Society National Spring meeting following the summer research experience.The proposed i-REU Site will provide a high-level research experience, allow the participants a deep cultural immersion with an opportunity to learn another culture, and prepare for the increasing impact of European unification on US science. The very successful partnership with Morehouse College in the US is continuing, which has provided access to a large pool of talented underrepresented minority undergraduates. The impact of this program is measured by the increased number of underrepresented STEM groups participating in the program who are from diverse communities. The majority of the students going to France will not be from the University of Florida. Participants will have previous research experiences with backgrounds in chemistry, biochemistty or physics. As a true exchange program and through a collection of French and UF funding, a similar number of French students will be brought to the US to perform research at UF's chemistry department, increasing the internationalization of the undergraduate and PhD programs.

该奖项由化学部（CHE）颁发，旨在支持佛罗里达大学和法国大学之间的本科生国际研究经验（iREU）网站在2012-2014年夏季的更新。这次更新涉及莫尔豪斯学院，主要是本科院校（PUI）。美国项目将由Adrian E.作者：Roitberg，Valeria D.克莱曼，佛罗里达大学的丹尼尔塔尔汉姆和莫尔豪斯学院的詹姆斯P布朗教授。该计划的重点是提供材料化学的扩展国际夏季研究项目。它每年在美国举行春季出发前会议，以便为参与者在国外的长期逗留做好准备。该计划的长度允许对研究项目做出有意义的贡献，这将导致与本科生合著的同行评审出版物。美国教师每年夏天也将在法国提供现场指导。这是通过法国合作伙伴提供的特邀教授职位实现的。每个研究中心的学生至少2人一组，分布在3个不同的研究中心（巴黎、图卢兹和斯特拉斯堡），并根据他们以前的经验和申请陈述分配到研究小组。学生们将有机会在夏季研究体验后的美国化学学会全国春季会议上的本科生海报会议上向广大观众传播他们的研究成果。拟议的i-REU网站将提供高水平的研究体验，让参与者有机会深入了解另一种文化，并为欧洲统一对美国科学日益增加的影响做好准备。与美国莫尔豪斯学院非常成功的伙伴关系仍在继续，这为大量有才华的少数民族本科生提供了机会。该计划的影响是通过参加该计划的来自不同社区的代表性不足的STEM团体数量的增加来衡量的。去法国的大部分学生将不是来自佛罗里达大学。参与者将有化学，生物化学或物理学背景的研究经验。作为一个真正的交流项目，并通过法国和UF资金的集合，类似数量的法国学生将被带到美国在UF的化学系进行研究，增加了本科和博士课程的国际化。
