项目摘要

The REU site award to Furman University in Greenville, SC supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019-2021. In the program, funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, Professor Karen L. Buchmueller and colleagues host an REU site that involves three visiting teams, each consisting of a faculty mentor and two to three students who come to Furman University each summer to conduct research. The program also includes two Furman University teams, each consisting of a faculty mentor and one student. The summer program begins with a research boot camp, providing mini-courses in laboratory safety, scientific ethics, career advising and hands-on experience with departmental instrumentation. The summer research program culminates in an oral symposium and an outreach program at a local summer camp for disadvantaged children. The entire summer is designed to facilitate the development of future scientists, through direct engagement with real scientific problems in the lab and the development of meaningful relationships with faculty and students participating in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Furman University provides a unique summer REU program that incorporates visiting teams of students and faculty from small colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and technical colleges. The REU site provides research and educational opportunities that act as stepping stones in the development of the undergraduate student as a scientist. The program recruits students in the first two years of their college careers and students from under-represented groups. Visiting students are supported by REU ambassadors (former REU students) and a faculty member from their home institution. The REU site also serves as an incubator, a place where visiting faculty build research programs that have the potential to amplify the REU program beyond the bounds of Furman University. The goal is to cultivate future scientists, both directly within the program and through the development of sustainable research programs at our partner institutions.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.

REU 为南卡罗来纳州格林维尔弗曼大学提供的场地奖励支持 10 名学生在 2019-2021 年夏季进行为期 10 周的培训。在该项目中，由数学和物理科学理事会化学部资助，Karen L. Buchmueller 教授及其同事主持了一个 REU 网站，其中包括三个访问团队，每个团队由一名教师导师和两到三名学生组成，他们每年夏天来到弗曼大学进行研究。该项目还包括两个弗曼大学团队，每个团队由一名教师导师和一名学生组成。夏季项目以研究训练营开始，提供实验室安全、科学伦理、职业建议和部门仪器实践经验方面的迷你课程。夏季研究计划的高潮是在当地夏令营为弱势儿童举办口头研讨会和外展计划。整个夏天的目的是通过直接参与实验室中的实际科学问题以及与参与本科生研究体验（REU）项目的教师和学生建立有意义的关系来促进未来科学家的发展。弗曼大学提供独特的夏季 REU 项目，其中包括来自小型学院、传统黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 以及技术学院的学生和教师访问团队。 REU 网站提供研究和教育机会，作为本科生科学家发展的垫脚石。该计划招收大学生涯头两年的学生和来自代表性不足群体的学生。访问学生得到 REU 大使（前 REU 学生）和所在机构的一名教职人员的支持。 REU 站点还充当孵化器，访问教师在这里建立研究项目，这些项目有可能将 REU 项目扩展到弗曼大学之外。目标是直接在该计划内以及通过在我们的合作伙伴机构开发可持续研究计划来培养未来的科学家。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
