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.

通过该奖项，化学部门是杰克逊州立大学（JSU）的Paresh Ray及其同事的资助，主持了一个名为“纳米级体系结构的化学成像和环境应用的REU网站，为少数民族和缺陷学生提供服务。”这个REU网站将为来自传统代表性不足的少数民族和非研究密集大学的八名本科生提供十周的研究和教育经验。围绕理解纳米级体系结构及其环境影响的成像和环境应用的主题，由化学家，纳米技术医生，环境工程师和环境科学家组成的跨学科团队领导。 REU学生将获得职业和教育活动，包括与纳米科学相关的研究项目，纳米科学的简短课程和科学写作讲习班。 还将在化学研究生学习方面的演讲技巧和咨询方面进行培训。这个REU网站位于美国第五大HBCU（历史悠久的黑人学院和大学），旨在促进纳米科学科学劳动力的多样性。通过JSU的经验，将为参与者提供宝贵的教育/研究经验，因为他们考虑了科学的职业途径。对于非研究密集型机构的学生来说，这将是他们原本可能没有的经历。该REU网站的主要广泛影响是对非裔美国人和处境不利的学生的培训和指导，具有巨大的STEM职业潜力。
