项目摘要

This award to Brigham Young University from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) at the National Science Foundation supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site with a Research Experience for Teachers (RET) component led by Professors Daniel H. Ess, Rebecca Sansom, and Kara J. Stowers at Brigham Young University. To address the national need for a highly qualified science workforce, this site annually provides ten REU and two RET participants with a ten-week summer program to conduct individual chemistry or biochemistry research projects using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. Research projects emphasize problems relevant to industrial chemistry. Visits to chemical and biochemical companies, along with workshops and seminars on current and grand challenges in industry, effective communication, team interactions, and delivering scientific presentations, prepare REU participants for graduate school and future industrial careers. Inspiring the next generation of scientists, both REU and RET participants work with the BYU summer chemistry and biochemistry camps for youth. REU recruitment emphasizes participation by students from two-year colleges and underrepresented minorities.Participants complete independent research projects in the following areas: design of miniaturized mass spectrometers and micrometer microfluidic devices, biochemistry biomarker assays and drug discovery, inorganic homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyst development, computational chemistry, organic anticancer and vaccine synthesis, physical spectroscopy, materials creation and characterization, renewable energy, and water containment detection. These independent technical research projects, facilitated by BYU chemistry and biochemistry faculty, and student mentors, provide participants with rich experiences in problem solving and scientific discovery, preparing them to earn advanced degrees and enter the industrial chemistry workforce.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.

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会化学系（CHE）颁发给杨百翰大学，支持本科生研究经验（REU）网站和教师研究经验（RET）组成部分，由杨百翰大学的Daniel H. Ess、Rebecca Sansom和Kara J. Stowers教授领导。为了满足国家对高素质科学劳动力的需求，该站点每年为10名REU和2名RET参与者提供为期10周的暑期计划，使用最先进的设备和技术进行个人化学或生物化学研究项目。研究项目强调与工业化学有关的问题。参观化学和生物化学公司，以及有关工业当前和重大挑战的讲习班和研讨会，有效的沟通，团队互动和提供科学报告，为REU参与者准备研究生院和未来的工业职业生涯。激励下一代的科学家，无论是REU和RET的参与者与杨百翰大学夏季化学和生物化学营的青年工作。REU的招聘强调两年制大学和少数族裔学生的参与。参与者在以下领域完成独立的研究项目：小型化质谱仪和微米微流体装置的设计、生物化学生物标志物分析和药物发现、无机均相和非均相催化剂的开发、计算化学、有机抗癌和疫苗合成、物理光谱、材料创造和表征、可再生能源和水容器检测。这些独立的技术研究项目，由杨百翰大学化学和生物化学教师和学生导师推动，为参与者提供解决问题和科学发现的丰富经验，为他们获得高级学位和进入工业化学劳动力做好准备。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
