REU Site: Analyze This: Analytical Chemistry Applied to Interdisciplinary Research

该奖项由普渡大学化学系（CHE）颁发，支持本科生研究体验（REU）网站，题为“分析此：分析化学应用于跨学科研究”，该网站向本科生展示了分析化学如何继续成为整个科学领域创新的基础之一。该REU网站强调需要分析化学家在广泛的领域，旨在通过培训和指导学生谁是专门从事化学分析，以满足科学，技术和化学工业的需求。主要活动是学生进入研究实验室，在那里研究涵盖了一系列跨学科领域，从环境化学到癌症研究，从药物发现到法医学。周一早上的咖啡馆被称为“化学生意”，REU的参与者和根据自己的研究发现成立了初创公司的化学教师之间进行非正式讨论。主题集中在如何将创新研究推向市场和化学家在私营部门的作用。其他活动包括化学健康和安全、科学伦理、科学写作和演讲、简历制作和研究生院准备。REU向所有人开放，但通过与六所历史上为代表性不足的学生服务的大学合作，招生工作针对代表性不足的群体。在一名教师和研究生的指导下，本科生完成一项独立的分析化学研究项目。通过参与发现的方法，学生在他们的研究领域获得深入的知识。在普渡大学的暑期本科生研究奖学金（SURF）项目中，学生们进行口头报告，并与其他学生一起参加海报会议。在同行评议的研究文章的共同作者是REU学生的一个关键目标。通过个人研究、团队合作和拓展，他们了解了在化学事业中取得成功所需的条件。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Purdue University entitled, "Analyze This: Analytical Chemistry Applied to Interdisciplinary Research" that exposes undergraduate students to how analytical chemistry continues to be one of the foundations of innovation across the science spectrum. The REU site highlights the need for analytical chemists in a broad range of fields and aims to satisfy the needs of science, technology, and chemical industries by training and mentoring students who are specializing in chemical analysis. The main activity is student emersion into research labs where the research spans a range of interdisciplinary fields from environmental chemistry to cancer research and drug discovery to forensic science. The Monday morning cafes called "The Business of Chemistry" include informal discussions between REU participants and Chemistry faculty members who have formed start-up companies based on their research discoveries. The topics focus on how to bring innovative research to market and the role of chemists in the private sector. Additional activities include chemical health and safety, ethics in the sciences, scientific writing and presentations, resume building, and graduate school preparation. The REU is open to all, but student recruitment efforts target underrepresented groups by partnering with six universities that historically serve underrepresented students.Under the mentorship of a faculty member and graduate student, undergraduates complete an independent research project in analytical chemistry. By participating in the methods of discovery the students gain in-depth knowledge in their research areas. Students give oral presentations and participate in poster sessions along with other students in the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program at Purdue University. Co-authorship in a peer-reviewed research article is a key goal for the REU student. Through individual research, teamwork, and outreach they gain an understanding of what is required to succeed in a career in chemistry.
