REU Site Undergraduate Research Opportunities

项目摘要

This award from the Division of Chemistry at the national Science Foundation supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at The University of Iowa focused on providing undergraduate students with research opportunities in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The REU program will support ten undergraduate students for ten weeks during the summer and will be administered through the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Institute at the University of Iowa (NNI@UI). Participants will be recruited from institutions with limited undergraduate research opportunities and underrepresented minorities and women will be recruited by coordinating with on-going diversity efforts at The University of Iowa.REU participants will have the opportunity to work on a cutting edge research project with faculty mentors from the departments of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemistry, and Pharmacy. Given the increasing importance of nanoscience and nanotechnology, it is imperative to provide undergraduates with early exposure to research in this emerging, interdisciplinary field and to enhance their interest in science and engineering for graduate studies and as a career path. REU participants will take part in a technical communication workshop, research ethics and laboratory safety seminars, research seminars, graduate school and networking sessions and a university-wide undergraduate research symposium.

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会化学部颁发，支持爱荷华大学本科生研究经验（REU）站点，该站点致力于为本科生提供纳米科学和纳米技术的研究机会。REU计划将在夏季为10名本科生提供为期10周的支持，并将通过爱荷华大学纳米科学和纳米技术研究所（NNI@UI）进行管理。参与者将从本科生研究机会有限的机构中招募，少数族裔和女性将通过与爱荷华大学正在进行的多元化努力协调来招募。REU的参与者将有机会与来自化学与生物化学工程、土木与环境工程、化学和制药等部门的教师导师一起进行前沿研究项目。鉴于纳米科学和纳米技术的重要性日益增加，必须让本科生尽早接触到这一新兴的跨学科领域的研究，并提高他们在研究生学习和职业道路上对科学和工程的兴趣。REU的参与者将参加一个技术交流研讨会、研究伦理和实验室安全研讨会、研究研讨会、研究生院和网络会议以及一个全校范围的本科生研究研讨会。
