Professors Kavallieratos and Miksovska and colleagues in the Chemistry & Biochemistry Department at Florida International University (FIU) host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site that supports research projects for nine students during a 10-week summer research session. Chemical sensing is the interdisciplinary theme that links this cohort. Students are mentored in team-oriented summer projects, participate in seminars and workshops, present their work within and outside their scientific teams in widely-attended venues at the FIU campus, and are encouraged to pursue a career in research and discovery. The broader impacts are addressed scientifically through the wide range of applications that are impacted by the various sensor-related projects. In addition, there is a strong emphasis on the recruitment of significant percentages of women and students from underrepresented groups. Partnerships with minority serving institutions and two Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) programs are in place to meet the recruitment goals. This REU sites focus on chemical sensing combines cutting-edge research interests with wide, real-life applicability. Within the interdisciplinary area of sensing, the students participate in projects across analytical/environmental, biological, inorganic, organic, physical/theoretical, nuclear/radiochemistry, and forensic chemistry. The summer projects are designed to give the students flexibility and initiative, and to excite beginning researchers with the vision of becoming independent investigators. As the major public research university in South Florida, FIU attracts, retains, and graduates large numbers of students from minority groups. The REU site is expected to expand the opportunities available at FIU to underrepresented students outside FIU who attend colleges with little research infrastructure.

教授Kavallieratos和Miksovska和同事在化学生物化学系在佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）主办的本科生（REU）网站，支持研究项目的研究经验为9名学生在为期10周的夏季研究会议。化学传感是连接这一群体的跨学科主题。学生在团队为导向的暑期项目辅导，参加研讨会和讲习班，目前他们的工作内外的科学团队在广泛参加的场地在FIU校园，并鼓励追求研究和发现的职业生涯。更广泛的影响通过各种传感器相关项目影响的广泛应用得到科学解决。此外，还大力强调从任职人数不足的群体中征聘相当比例的妇女和学生。与少数民族服务机构和两个路易斯斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）计划的伙伴关系已经到位，以满足招聘目标。这个REU网站专注于化学传感结合了广泛的，现实生活中的适用性前沿的研究兴趣。在传感的跨学科领域内，学生参与分析/环境，生物，无机，有机，物理/理论，核/放射化学和法医化学的项目。暑期项目旨在为学生提供灵活性和主动性，并激发开始研究人员成为独立调查员的愿景。作为南佛罗里达的主要公立研究型大学，佛罗里达大学吸引，保留和毕业的少数民族学生的大量。REU网站预计将扩大在金融情报大学提供的机会，以金融情报大学以外的学生谁参加大学的研究基础设施很少。
