项目摘要

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Georgia Southern University entitled CollaborativE Multidisciplinary Investigations Through Undergraduate Research Experiences (CEMITURE) that is led by Professors Karelle Aiken and Evans Afriyie-Gyawuwill. They will engage student participants in intensive research and professional development activities, which will allow for sustained growth as scientists. CEMITURE student participants will work directly with faculty mentors on their respective research projects in an environment where they develop the necessary skills and gain experiences that solidify their self-identities as scientists. The CEMITURE experience will be augmented by the active involvement of participants in educational, social and professional development activities, which will include training in scientific communication and workshops on career preparation, leadership, and ethics. The program is designed so that participants will build a community of scholars with their peers and GSU faculty; enhance their preparation for future success in graduate programs; endeavor to use their knowledge and expertise in science to make significant contributions to their own communities and the wider society; and gain a global perspective of STEM fields.For ten weeks, the program, hosted by the Georgia Southern University (GSU) Chemistry Department, will engage undergraduate students in collaborative and multidisciplinary projects using analytical, material, organic, and bio-chemistry. Emphasis will be placed on recruiting students from institutions with limited research opportunities, particularly women, minorities, and students from rural and underserved areas of the southeastern United States. Projects will entail the design of new organic synthetic methodology for bioactive molecules; the development of materials with enhanced mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical properties; the design and probing of materials for their potential in the treatment of cancer and traumatic brain injury; the synthesis and investigation of novel organic molecules for detection of heavy transition metal cations; and the development of techniques for identification and quantification of organic and inorganic food contaminants.

化学系(CHE)颁发的这一奖项支持南乔治亚大学本科生研究体验(REU)网站，该网站由Karelle Aiken教授和Evans Afriyie-Gyawuwill教授领导，名为通过本科生研究体验进行多学科合作研究(CEMITURE)。他们将让学生参与者参与密集的研究和专业发展活动，这将使他们能够作为科学家持续成长。CEMITURE的学生参与者将直接与教师导师在他们各自的研究项目上合作，在这个环境中，他们发展必要的技能并获得经验，以巩固他们作为科学家的自我认同。与会者将积极参与教育、社会和职业发展活动，包括科学交流培训和职业生涯准备、领导能力和道德操守讲习班，从而扩大CEMITURE的经验。该项目旨在帮助学生与同龄人和乔治亚州立大学的教师建立一个学者社区；加强他们在研究生项目中取得成功的准备；努力利用他们在科学领域的知识和专长为自己的社区和更广泛的社会做出重大贡献；并获得STEM领域的全球视角。该项目由佐治亚南方大学(GSU)化学系主办，为期十周，将吸引本科生参与使用分析、材料、有机和生物化学的协作和多学科项目。重点将放在招收研究机会有限的机构的学生，特别是妇女、少数族裔，以及来自美国东南部农村和服务不足地区的学生。这些项目将包括设计用于生物活性分子的新的有机合成方法；开发具有增强的机械、热和电化学性能的材料；设计和探索材料在治疗癌症和创伤性脑损伤方面的潜力；合成和研究用于检测重金属过渡金属阳离子的新型有机分子；以及开发识别和量化有机和无机食品污染物的技术。
