In this project funded by the Research Experience for Undergraduate Program of the Chemistry Division, Professor Carole Dabney-Smith and colleagues at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio provide students with extensive, independent research experiences that are designed to develop and refine students' experimental skills and enhance their ability to work as part of a research team. The combination of active research, professional development, and cohort-building will provide the next generation of scientists with a well rounded experience and strong encouragement to continue in one of many areas of science as a career.The project focuses on students underrepresented in chemistry and/or those who do not have opportunities for research at their home institution. Students will choose from research projects in analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, physical chemistry, and chemistry education research, with most projects being interdisciplinary, such as in the areas of bioanalytical, bio-inorganic, biophysical, and nanotechnology. Students will also participate in sessions that will cover a number of topics associated with professional development including (i) the development of research proposals and scientific presentations, (ii) understanding ethics in science and (iii) available career paths in chemistry and biochemistry, including science policy. Activities are designed to prepare students for various job opportunities for chemists and to build a strong cohort. Many undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry students often lack exposure to scientific research career opportunities or opportunities to apply critical thinking skills to open-ended research. The broader impacts of Miami University's Chemistry and Biochemistry REU program are to promote research in chemistry and biochemistry as a career, especially for students underrepresented in the physical sciences.

在这个由化学系本科课程研究经验资助的项目中，俄亥俄州牛津市迈阿密大学的Carole Dabney-Smith教授和同事为学生提供了广泛的独立研究经验，旨在培养和完善学生的实验技能，并提高他们作为研究团队成员的工作能力。积极的研究，专业发展和群体建设的结合将为下一代科学家提供全面的经验和强烈的鼓励，继续在科学的许多领域之一作为职业生涯。该项目侧重于学生在化学和/或谁没有机会在他们的家乡机构的研究。学生将从分析，生物，无机，有机，物理化学和化学教育研究的研究项目中进行选择，大多数项目是跨学科的，例如生物分析，生物无机，生物物理和纳米技术领域。学生还将参加会议，将涵盖与专业发展相关的一些主题，包括（i）研究提案和科学演示文稿的开发，（ii）理解科学伦理和（iii）化学和生物化学的可用职业道路，包括科学政策。 活动的目的是为学生准备各种工作机会的化学家，并建立一个强大的队列。许多本科化学和生物化学专业的学生往往缺乏接触科学研究的职业机会或机会，将批判性思维技能应用于开放式研究。迈阿密大学的化学和生物化学REU计划的更广泛的影响是促进化学和生物化学的研究作为一种职业，特别是对于在物理科学中代表性不足的学生。
