This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is located in Chapel Hill, NC. It supports the training of 29 students in total for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019-2021. The principal investigators are Gerald Meyer and Leslie Hicks. This site is supported by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate. Students engage in a diverse set of research projects in chemistry, ranging from catalysis to solar energy conversion. Alongside hands-on research, students also participate in learning modules on ethics, communication, and entrepreneurship that includes site visits to a large industrial company and a small startup company in the Research Triangle Park of North Carolina. Taking part in cutting-edge research and tailored learning modules, students gain an appreciation for the subtleties of fundamental chemistry research and are in a position to make informed decisions about their career path. Students with limited access to research opportunities are especially recruited.The participants benefit from mentors who are international leaders in their field and work in state-of the art facilities on topical problems with far-reaching impact in chemistry. The participants engage in cutting edge research and have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions in projects related to catalysis, polymer design and synthesis, solar energy conversion, redox biology, and nanotechnology. Through mentoring and peer interaction, students gain skills in efficient and effective use of scientific research tools, critical reading of scientific literature, design and implementation of experiments, and in written and oral communication for various audiences. Completion of this program enhances the research and mentoring experiences for undergraduate students who may not otherwise have such an opportunity.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的本科生（REU）地点的研究经验位于北卡罗来纳州教堂山。它支持在2019 - 2021年夏季对29名学生的培训，共10周。主要调查人员是杰拉尔德·迈耶（Gerald Meyer）和莱斯利·希克斯（Leslie Hicks）。该站点得到了数学和物理科学局的化学划分的支持。从催化到太阳能转化，学生从事化学方面的各种研究项目。除了动手研究外，学生还参加了有关道德，沟通和企业家精神的学习模块，其中包括对一家大型工业公司的现场访问和北卡罗来纳州研究三角公园的小型创业公司。参与尖端的研究和量身定制的学习模块，学生对基本化学研究的微妙之处获得了赞赏，并可以对自己的职业道路做出明智的决定。尤其是招募学习机会的学生。参与者受益于他们的国际领导者，并在最先进的设施中工作，从而在化学方面具有深远影响的局部问题。参与者从事尖端研究，并有机会在与催化，聚合物设计和合成，太阳能转化，氧化还原生物学和纳米技术有关的项目中做出有意义的贡献。通过指导和同行互动，学生可以获得有效有效地利用科学研究工具的技能，对科学文献的批判性阅读，实验的设计和实施以及各种观众的书面和口头交流。该计划的完成为可能没有机会的本科生增强了研究和指导经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来提供支持。
