CASE CHEMISTRY REU SITE

化学部（CHE）和生物基础设施部（DBI）在生物科学理事会的这个奖项支持凯斯西储大学的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验，由教授詹姆斯·伯吉斯和布兰顿S托尔伯特领导。学生小组将专注于能源和材料，并在化学生物学，在部门的两个主要研究方向。REU计划的重点领域，如招聘代表性不足的学生和妇女进入化学研究，并解决学生（包括妇女和少数民族）在考虑沿着科学管道沿着更高的职位所经历的障碍。REU学生应该建立信心，并进一步激励他们从事化学研究。在凯斯西储大学完成有意义的研究后，REU学生将更有资格进入科学劳动力，成为教育工作者，或进入全国各地的研究生课程。这个化学REU网站将努力实现以下目标：1）对于每个夏季课程，将招募6名学生，其中约50%为女性和50%为少数民族。2)学生的兴趣将与适当的研究项目和团体相匹配。3)REU工厂将制定并实施导师培训计划。4)REU网站旨在增强本科生参与研究社区的意识。5)REU网站将被评估，该计划将跟踪参与者的计划后。具有这些经验的学生将获得化学研究的实验室经验，并将参与有意义的经验，这有助于每个导师的研究计划。学生选择的研究领域是这个REU网站的一个重要方面。预计经验的结果将导致出版物有REU学生作为共同作者。此外，许多REU学生会发现研究经验是多学科的，涉及整个大学和其他地方的团体之间的合作。这种合作的方法将提供在今天的团队为导向的研究环境的培训。REU学生将成为校园内更大的年轻学者社区的一部分。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) and the Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI) in the Biological Sciences Directorate supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at Case Western Reserve University, led by Professors James Burgess and Blanton S Tolbert. Student groups will focus on Energy and Materials, and on Chemical Biology, the two main research thrusts in the Department. The REU program focuses on areas such as recruitment of under-represented students and women into chemical research, and addressing hurdles experienced by students (including women and minorities) considering higher positions along the scientific pipeline. The REU students should develop confidence and become further motivated to pursue a career in chemical research. Having accomplished meaningful research at Case Western Reserve University, the REU students will be more qualified to enter the scientific workforce, become educators, or enter graduate programs across the country.This Chemistry REU site will strive to meet the following objectives: 1) For each summer program, a cohort of six students will be recruited that is approximately 50% female and 50% underrepresented minorities. 2) The student's interest will be matched with appropriate research projects and groups. 3) The REU site will develop and implement a mentor training program. 4) The REU site aims to enhance the undergraduates' sense of participation in the research community. 5) The REU site will be evaluated and the program will track participants' post-program plans. Students having these experiences will gain laboratory experiences in chemical research and will be engaged in meaningful experiences, which contribute to each mentor's research program. Student choice of research area is an important facet of this REU site. It is anticipated that results of the experiences will lead to publications having REU students as co-authors. Additionally, many of the REU students will find the research experience to be multidisciplinary, involving collaborations among groups across the University and elsewhere. This collaborative approach will provide training in today's team oriented research environment. REU students will become part of a larger community of young scholars on campus.
