This REU site is supported by both the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, and the Engineering Directorate at the National Science Foundation. Dr. Andrew Greenberg, Professor Robert Hamers, and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison host the program entitled REU Site: Chemistry of Materials for Renewable Energy, (CMRE). This program supports a 10 week summer research experiences for 11 undergraduate students annually for three years. Students conduct individual research projects focused on chemistry and chemical engineering research applied to problems in renewable energy. Additionally, students receive professional development training in science and engineering communication. The diverse student cohort participating in research at this site is well-prepared for graduate school, and eventual employment as part of the country's technical workforce.Individual research projects include the development of new catalysts and materials for the conversion of light or chemical energy into usable electrical or mechanical energy. The CMRE REU program helps students to strengthen their written and oral communication skills through communication training, proposal presentations, mid-experience report writing, and poster presentations. To ensure proper mentoring and development of CMRE REU students, this project includes a mentoring workshop for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty working directly with the REU Program.

这个REU网站得到了数学和物理科学理事会化学部和国家科学基金会工程理事会的支持。Andrew Greenberg博士，Robert Hamers教授和威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的同事主持了名为REU Site：可再生能源材料化学（CMRE）的项目。该计划每年为11名本科生提供为期10周的夏季研究经验，为期三年。学生进行个人研究项目，重点是应用于可再生能源问题的化学和化学工程研究。此外，学生接受科学和工程通信专业发展培训。在这里参与研究的学生群体为研究生院做好了充分的准备，并最终成为该国技术劳动力的一部分。个人研究项目包括开发新的催化剂和材料，用于将光能或化学能转化为可用的电能或机械能。CMRE REU计划帮助学生通过沟通培训，提案演示，中期经验报告写作和海报演示来加强他们的书面和口头沟通技能。为了确保CMRE REU学生的适当指导和发展，该项目包括为研究生，博士后研究员和直接与REU计划合作的教师提供指导研讨会。
