This award from the Division of Chemistry at the National Science Foundation supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) Site led by Professors Terence A. Nile and Penelope J. Pynes, both at the University of Carolina- Greensboro (UNCG). The REU Site entitled "Multi-site, Multi-institutional International REU Program" will train 10 undergraduate students for an 8 week summer research experiences at the Universities of Bath, Bristol and Cardiff in the United Kingdom (UK). The participants will be recruited after their sophomore and junior years with at least half (50%) from underrepresented groups. While providing students with a first class international experience, the program will give students, especially those from smaller institutions, the opportunity to undertake cutting edge research in synthetic chemistry at well-equipped major research universities. Thus, the multi-site, multi-institutional REU site will provide an international undergraduate research experience (IURE) for students from the US at three institutions in the UK.Broader Impacts of the award involves working closely with the students supported by the REU Site to find additional research experiences, both on and off their campuses, as they progress through their undergraduate degree programs. A document will be prepared that summarizes the procedures necessary for a successful program of this type and it will be used this internally to facilitate similar programs in other disciplines at UNCG. This information will be submitted for publication in the Council of Undergraduate Research journal and presented at regional and national meetings of undergraduate research organizations.

这个奖项来自美国国家科学基金会化学部，支持由特伦斯·A·哈登教授领导的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。Nile和Penelope J. Pynes，均来自卡罗莱纳大学-格林斯伯勒（UNCG）。REU网站名为"多地点，多机构国际REU计划"将培训10名本科生在巴斯大学，布里斯托和卡迪夫在英国（英国）为期8周的夏季研究经验。参与者将在大二和大三之后招募，其中至少一半（50%）来自代表性不足的群体。在为学生提供一流的国际经验的同时，该计划将为学生，特别是来自较小机构的学生，提供在装备精良的主要研究型大学进行合成化学前沿研究的机会。因此，多站点，多机构REU网站将提供一个国际本科生研究经验（IURE）的学生从美国在英国的三个机构。该奖项的更广泛的影响包括与REU网站支持的学生密切合作，寻找额外的研究经验，无论是在校园内外，因为他们通过他们的本科学位课程的进展。将编写一份文件，总结成功实施此类项目所需的程序，并将在内部使用该文件来促进联合国大会其他学科的类似项目。这些信息将提交给本科生研究杂志的理事会发表，并在本科生研究组织的区域和国家会议上提出。
