This project funded by the REU Sites Program in the Chemistry Division and the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) both at the National Science Foundation (NSF) supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates Site at South Dakota State University, led by Professor James A. Rice and colleagues. The site will support ten students during the ten week summer program that will focused on environmental and green materials chemistry and provide the students with multi-disciplinary research experiences. The goal is to provide cutting-edge research experiences, mentoring, and research-themed professional development to increase the students' preparedness to pursue graduate school or environmental/green chemistry careers. The Site will introduce students to environmental and green chemistry where they will learn about natural and industrial chemical processes that impact societal research needs. These range from understanding climate change to the fate and behavior of anthropogenic chemicals introduced into natural and biological systems, and to making new materials with a reduced reliance on harmful solvents.The REU site will recruit students from institutions with limited research opportunities with the primary emphasis on attracting students who attend tribal colleges, public and private (predominately undergraduate) institutions in South Dakota and western Minnesota. The Site will explore a distributive concept where the students will work in different locations (the host institution, Black Hills State University and Northern State University) and communicate using Access Grid, a high definition, internet-based communication system. An expected outcome will be to integrate undergraduate research into the chemistry curricula at the predominately undergraduate partner institutions as they work to achieve degree certification by the American Chemical Society.

该项目由美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 化学部 REU 站点计划和刺激竞争研究实验计划 (EPSCoR) 资助，支持南达科他州立大学本科生站点研究体验，由 James A. Rice 教授及其同事领导。该网站将在为期十周的暑期项目中为十名学生提供支持，该项目将重点关注环境和绿色材料化学，并为学生提供多学科的研究经验。目标是提供前沿的研究经验、指导和以研究为主题的专业发展，以提高学生为追求研究生院或环境/绿色化学职业做好准备。该网站将向学生介绍环境和绿色化学，在那里他们将了解影响社会研究需求的自然和工业化学过程。这些范围从了解气候变化到引入自然和生物系统的人为化学物质的命运和行为，以及制造减少对有害溶剂依赖的新材料。REU站点将从研究机会有限的机构招收学生，主要重点是吸引南达科他州和明尼苏达州西部的部落学院、公立和私立（主要是本科）机构的学生。该网站将探索分布式概念，学生将在不同地点（主办机构、布莱克山州立大学和北方州立大学）工作，并使用 Access Grid（一种基于互联网的高清通信系统）进行通信。预期的结果是将本科生研究纳入主要本科生合作机构的化学课程中，因为他们正在努力获得美国化学会的学位认证。
