The Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites program in the NSF Division of Chemistry supports Professor Geraldine Richmond and colleagues at the University of Oregon to host REU Site: Combining Career Preparation with Environmental Research in Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Science. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. Twelve students are recruited for 10 weeks of interdisciplinary research each summer. Students choose from 18 interdisciplinary projects that focus on environmental issues. Research activities are augmented by career building workshops that include topics such as scientific and workplace communication, entrepreneurship, ethics, negotiation, and leadership. The site provides students with cutting edge research experiences, equips them with essential career skills, and develops long term mentoring relationships. The faculty involved with this interdisciplinary REU program come from chemistry, physics and materials science fields, allowing students to cross the traditional academic boundaries. Examples of the projects include the development of new solar materials, syntheses and characterization of environmentally relevant catalysts, creation of greener nanoparticle systems, and increasing the fundamental understanding of oil dispersants. The broader impact of this project is that it increases the number of science undergraduate students from underrepresented groups and increases the students' success in their careers.

NSF化学部的本科生网站计划的研究经验支持俄勒冈大学杰拉尔丁·里士满教授和同事主持REU网站：将职业准备与化学，物理和材料科学领域的环境研究结合在一起。该站点由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。每年夏天，为十二名学生招募了10周的跨学科研究。学生从关注环境问题的18个跨学科项目中进行选择。包括科学和工作场所沟通，企业家精神，道德，谈判和领导力等主题，包括职业建设研讨会增强了研究活动。该网站为学生提供尖端的研究经验，使他们拥有重要的职业技能，并发展长期指导关系。与该跨学科REU计划有关的教师来自化学，物理和材料科学领域，使学生能够越过传统的学术界限。这些项目的例子包括开发新的太阳能材料，合成和对环境相关的催化剂的表征，创建较绿色的纳米颗粒系统，并提高对石油分散剂的基本了解。该项目的更广泛的影响是，它增加了来自代表性不足的群体的科学本科生的数量，并增加了学生在职业生涯中的成功。
