University of Michigan chemistry professors Brian Coppola and Melanie Sanford co-direct the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Interdisciplinary Chemistry, funded by the Chemistry Division of NSF. This is a continuation of a long established program that began in 1989. In this renewal, 15 students from around the United States, recruited primarily from settings where individuals do not have the opportunity to carry out graduate-level research, spend 10 weeks engaged as full-fledged participants in the department's research groups. There is a recruiting emphasis on women and students from underrepresented groups. Additional activities (lectures, workshops, trips, and social events), offered jointly with other programs on- and off-campus, provide a broad integration into scientific and professional communities. A regional poster session is the culminating activity each summer. Students participate in a diverse collection of modern research problems centered in the interdisciplinary chemical programs in the University of Michigan chemistry department, including chemical biology, organometallics, energy, sustainability, surface science, sensors, optics and imaging, RNA biochemistry, and ultrafast dynamics. The REU students have access to all of the research groups in the chemistry department, including interdisciplinary groups. REU students produce publishable results. The experience also gives participants confidence to remain in science, pursue graduate education, and ultimately to join the technically-trained workforce in academia, industry, or government laboratories.

密歇根大学化学教授Brian Coppola和Melanie Sanford共同指导由NSF化学部资助的跨学科化学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。这是1989年开始的一项长期计划的延续。在这次更新中，来自美国各地的15名学生，主要从个人没有机会进行研究生水平研究的环境中招募，花10周的时间作为部门研究小组的正式参与者。招聘的重点是妇女和来自代表性不足群体的学生。额外的活动（讲座，研讨会，旅行和社交活动），与校内和校外的其他课程联合提供，提供了广泛的融入科学和专业社区。区域海报会议是每年夏天的高潮活动。学生参与现代研究问题的多样化集合，这些问题集中在密歇根大学化学系的跨学科化学课程中，包括化学生物学，有机金属，能源，可持续性，表面科学，传感器，光学和成像，RNA生物化学和超快动力学。REU学生可以访问化学系的所有研究小组，包括跨学科小组。REU学生产生可持续的结果。这些经验也让参与者有信心继续从事科学研究，接受研究生教育，并最终加入学术界，工业界或政府实验室的技术培训队伍。
