With this award, the Chemistry Division is funding Professor Paresh Ray and colleagues at Jackson State University (JSU), to host an REU site called "Chemistry of Nanoscale Architectures for Imaging and Environmental Applications at Jackson State University Serving Minority and Disadvantaged Students." This REU site will provide ten weeks of research and educational experiences for eight undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented minorities and non-research intensive universities. Built around a theme of understanding the imaging and environmental applications of nanoscale architectures and their environmental implications, this REU site is led by an interdisciplinary team of chemists, nanotechnologists, environmental engineers, and environmental scientists. The REU students will be provided with career and educational activities that include nanoscience-related research projects, short courses on nanoscience and workshops on scientific writing. There will also be training in presentation skills and counseling on graduate study in chemistry. This REU Site, hosted at the fifth largest HBCU (Historically Black College and University) in the nation, seeks to promote diversity in the future scientific workforce in nanoscience. Through their experience at JSU, the participants will be provided with valuable educational/research experiences as they consider career pathways in science. For the students from non-research intensive institutions, this will be an experience that they might otherwise not have. The principal broader impact of this REU site is on the training and mentoring of African American and disadvantaged students with great potential for careers in STEM.

有了这个奖项，化学部门资助了杰克逊州立大学（JSU）的Paresh Ray教授和他的同事，来主持一个名为“杰克逊州立大学成像和环境应用的纳米结构化学，为少数民族和弱势学生服务”的REU网站。这个REU网站将为来自传统上代表性不足的少数民族和非研究型大学的八名本科生提供为期十周的研究和教育经历。围绕理解纳米结构的成像和环境应用及其环境影响的主题，这个REU网站由化学家、纳米技术专家、环境工程师和环境科学家组成的跨学科团队领导。REU将为学生提供职业和教育活动，包括纳米科学相关的研究项目、纳米科学短期课程和科学写作研讨会。此外，还将对化学研究生学习进行演讲技巧和咨询培训。这个REU网站，在全国第五大HBCU（历史上的黑人学院和大学）主持，旨在促进纳米科学未来科学劳动力的多样性。通过他们在JSU的经历，参与者将在考虑科学职业道路时获得宝贵的教育/研究经验。对于来自非研究密集型机构的学生来说，这将是他们可能没有的经历。该REU网站的主要广泛影响是培训和指导非洲裔美国人和具有STEM职业潜力的弱势学生。
