This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site for the summers of 2013-2015 led by Janet Morrow and Sarbajit Banerjee of the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. The Site will support ten students per summer for a ten week program. The Site will focus on interdisciplinary collaborative research with an emphasis on sustained engagement throughout the academic year. A special thrust will focus on recruiting at least two community college students each summer to provide them access to research opportunities at an early stage of their career. Broader impacts stem from the introduction of students to modern research methods and projects. Collaborative research activities during the academic year will promote student involvement in the organization of data in presentations and manuscripts. The Site will focus on students who may not normally have the chance to participate in research in a large university setting and increase the likelihood of their participation in graduate-level science and engineering programs. Interdisciplinary research projects are available in several areas; including, 1) synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials, 2) organic synthesis, 3) chemical biology/medicinal chemistry, 4) environmental chemistry, 4) computational chemistry, 5) polymer and materials chemistry, and 6), inorganic materials for biomedical diagnostics and imaging. Participants will meet weekly as a group for discussions on laboratory safety, manuscript writing, research ethics, graduate education and career choices. Students will also hear from industrial researchers through a biweekly seminar series, which will provide further exposure to career choices. Students will have multiple opportunities to present their work in oral and written communication in the summer program and at professional society meetings. Additional activities will include field trips to local industries and research centers across Western New York's thriving manufacturing, life science, and biomedical industry.

化学部（CHE）的这一奖项支持由纽约州立大学布法罗大学的Janet Morrow和Sarbajit Banerjee领导的2013-2015年夏季本科生研究经验（REU）网站。该网站将支持十名学生每年夏天为期十周的计划。该网站将专注于跨学科的合作研究，重点是在整个学年的持续参与。一个特别的推力将集中在每年夏天招募至少两名社区大学生，为他们提供在职业生涯的早期阶段获得研究机会。更广泛的影响源于向学生介绍现代研究方法和项目。学年期间的合作研究活动将促进学生参与演示文稿和手稿中的数据组织。该网站将重点关注那些通常没有机会在大型大学环境中参与研究的学生，并增加他们参与研究生水平科学和工程课程的可能性。跨学科研究项目可在几个领域;包括，1）纳米材料的合成和表征，2）有机合成，3）化学生物学/药物化学，4）环境化学，4）计算化学，5）聚合物和材料化学，和6），用于生物医学诊断和成像的无机材料。参与者将每周举行一次会议，讨论实验室安全，手稿写作，研究伦理，研究生教育和职业选择。学生还将通过双周一次的研讨会系列听取工业研究人员的意见，这将进一步接触职业选择。学生将有多种机会在暑期课程和专业协会会议上以口头和书面交流的方式展示自己的作品。其他活动将包括实地考察当地工业和研究中心在西部纽约的蓬勃发展的制造业，生命科学和生物医学产业。
