This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Connecticut is located in Storrs, CT. The principal investigators are Jose Gascon and Alfredo Angeles-Boza. The site supports the training of 9 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019-2021. This site, supported by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, provides students with a diverse set of research projects in chemical sciences. Students also take part in in technical workshops and professional development seminars, which emphasize the development of communication skills and ethical behavior in research settings. This program culminates in oral and poster presentations, which is open to the University community, parents and faculty from the students' home institutions. Participants obtain a foundation for making informed choices about future careers in chemistry and establish networks with peers from a range of disciplines and experiences. In the recruitment of students, an emphasis is placed on women, underrepresented groups and students from the nearby Central Connecticut State University (CCSU). This program introduces participants to a full breadth of research-related activities, a number of ancillary technical workshops and professional development seminars. The research projects span across all divisions of the University of Connecticut's chemistry department, including projects related to organic, inorganic, analytical, physical, biological, and polymer chemistry. In addition to the research conducted in the host laboratories, students participate in two hands-on workshops: one on computational chemistry and the other on single crystal X-ray crystallography held at CCSU. These activities introduce an intellectually challenging technical component to the program that involves the entire cohort and provides a deeper understanding about techniques that are instrumental to all fields of chemistry. Overall, the program enhances students' enthusiasm for chemistry and prepares them for post-graduate success in the field.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.

本科生（REU）在康涅狄格大学的研究经验网站位于斯托尔斯，CT。主要调查人员是Jose Gascon和Alfredo Angeles-Boza。该网站支持9名学生在2019-2021年夏季进行为期10周的培训。该网站由数学和物理科学理事会化学部支持，为学生提供化学科学的各种研究项目。学生还参加技术研讨会和专业发展研讨会，强调在研究环境中发展沟通技巧和道德行为。该计划在口头和海报演示中达到高潮，该演示对大学社区，家长和来自学生家庭机构的教师开放。参与者获得了对化学未来职业做出明智选择的基础，并与来自一系列学科和经验的同行建立了网络。在招收学生时，重点是妇女、代表性不足的群体和附近的中央康涅狄格州立大学的学生。该计划向参与者介绍了与研究相关的活动，一些辅助技术研讨会和专业发展研讨会的全方位。研究项目跨越康涅狄格大学化学系的所有部门，包括与有机，无机，分析，物理，生物和聚合物化学相关的项目。除了在主办实验室进行的研究，学生参加两个动手研讨会：一个关于计算化学，另一个关于在CCSU举行的单晶X射线晶体学。这些活动为该计划引入了一个具有智力挑战性的技术组成部分，该计划涉及整个队列，并提供了对化学所有领域有用的技术的更深入了解。总的来说，该计划提高了学生对化学的热情，并为他们在该领域的研究生成功做好了准备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
