The Chemistry Division at the National Science Foundation supports this Workshop that will be led by Professor Sarah Larsen of the University of Iowa. This proposal requests funding for a Chemistry REU PI Workshop in the Summer of 2012, which is three years after a successful 2009 Workshop. In addition, the event will coincide with the 25th anniversary of the NSF REU Program. The objective of the 2012 PI Workshop is to bring together the Chemistry REU PI community to facilitate interaction and exchange of ideas in formal and informal settings. This gathering will also inform and engage Chemistry REU PIs about critical issues, such as broadening participation, methods for program evaluation, and research ethics. Sharing effective REU practices will be highlighted and, through breakout sessions, an action plan for issues the Leadership Group (LG) needs to address in the coming years will be developed. The timeliness of this Workshop will also allow the celebration of 25 years of successful REU programs at NSF. The Workshop will be evaluated using a post-workshop evaluation form and a final Workshop Report will be prepared and disseminated to the NSF and to the Chemistry REU community.Broader impacts of REU programs involve broadening participation by students in groups that are traditionally underrepresented in science and especially in chemistry. The PI workshop will provide PIs with examples of effective strategies for recruitment of underrepresented students to their programs. Establishing a sustainable mechanism to connect students from the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation in STEM (LSAMP) with REU programs is another expected outcome of the Workshop. Challenges and strategies associated with recruiting other nontraditional student groups such as students with disabilities and community college students will also be addressed at the Workshop.

美国国家科学基金会的化学部支持这个研讨会，该研讨会将由爱荷华州大学的Sarah Larsen教授领导。该提案要求为2012年夏季的化学REU PI研讨会提供资金，这是2009年研讨会成功后的三年。此外，该活动将恰逢NSF REU计划成立25周年。2012年PI研讨会的目标是汇集化学REU PI社区，以促进正式和非正式环境中的互动和思想交流。这次聚会还将通知和从事化学REU PI关于关键问题，如扩大参与，计划评估方法和研究伦理。将强调分享有效的可再生能源股做法，并通过分组会议，为领导小组（LG）在未来几年需要解决的问题制定行动计划。本次研讨会的及时性也将允许在NSF成功的REU计划25年的庆祝活动。研讨会将使用研讨会后的评估表进行评估，并编写最终的研讨会报告，并分发给NSF和化学REU社区。REU计划的更广泛影响涉及扩大学生在传统上在科学，特别是化学方面代表性不足的群体中的参与。PI研讨会将为PI提供招募代表性不足的学生参加其课程的有效策略的例子。建立一个可持续的机制，将路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与STEM联盟（LSAMP）的学生与REU计划联系起来，是研讨会的另一个预期成果。与招募其他非传统学生群体，如残疾学生和社区大学生相关的挑战和战略也将在讲习班上讨论。
