This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Texas State University, located in San Marcos, TX, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2018-2020. This site, supported by the Divisions of Chemistry and Materials Research in the Mathematical and Physical Science Directorate, offers research projects in the areas of chemistry, biochemistry, and material science. In addition to student research projects, participants in the REU program attend a course designed to expose them to the entrepreneurial and commercialization aspects of technology. The course allows them to explore how basic research contributes to molecular innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic development in molecular sciences. This unique combination of research and commercialization training provides student participants with a broad understanding of academic and industrial research. The REU program also focuses on the development of emerging scientific professionals through an extensive professional development course that includes seminars, workshops, and panel discussions with topics including scientific communication, ethics in scientific research, and graduate school and career preparation. Participants in the REU are recruited largely from regional primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and provides extensive research experience for participants that would otherwise not be able to participate in undergraduate research. Student participants contribute to research projects that include hybrid metal organic framework materials, fluorescent nanomaterials for biomedical applications, analysis and application studies of biohybrid organic chromophores, and electrophilic carbene studies. Some of the other research projects involve conducting polymer nanocomposite studies, organic halide synthesis, N-substituted alkyne synthesis, and structural and functional studies of RNA binding proteins. The site's distinctive combination of basic research training and an understanding of technology commercialization promotes a novel scientific training environment for participants that contributes to their professional success in academic and industrial research.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.

德克萨斯州立大学本科生研究体验(REU)网站位于德克萨斯州圣马科斯，在2018-2020年夏季期间支持10名学生进行为期10周的培训。该网站由数学和物理科学局的化学和材料研究部门支持，提供化学、生物化学和材料科学领域的研究项目。除了学生研究项目外，REU项目的参与者还参加一门旨在让他们接触到技术的创业和商业化方面的课程。这门课程允许他们探索基础研究如何为分子科学中的分子创新、创业和经济发展做出贡献。这种研究和商业化培训的独特结合为学生参与者提供了对学术和工业研究的广泛理解。REU计划还通过广泛的专业发展课程专注于新兴科学专业人员的发展，其中包括研讨会、研讨会和小组讨论，主题包括科学交流、科学研究中的伦理、研究生院和职业准备。REU的参与者主要从地区性本科院校(PUI)招募，为原本无法参与本科研究的参与者提供广泛的研究经验。学生参与的研究项目包括杂化金属有机框架材料、生物医学应用的荧光纳米材料、生物杂化有机发色团的分析和应用研究以及亲电性卡宾研究。其他一些研究项目包括进行聚合物纳米复合材料研究、有机卤化物合成、N-取代炔烃合成以及RNA结合蛋白的结构和功能研究。该网站将基础研究培训和对技术商业化的理解独特地结合在一起，为参与者提供了一个新颖的科学培训环境，有助于他们在学术和工业研究方面的专业成功。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
