This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Nebraska, located in Lincoln, NE, supports the training of 10 students over 10 weeks during the summers of 2018-2021. The principle investigator is Professor Mark Griep. This site is supported by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Science Directorate. It offers undergraduate participants original research projects in the area of chemical assembly. These projects, tailored to inspire student curiosity, give students the opportunity to advance knowledge in areas such as biosensors and energy storage. While engaging in chemistry research, students learn about careers in the chemicals industry, the graduate school application process, and how to disseminate research results through publications and presentations to a variety of audiences. Participants take part in the Upward Bound Math Science (UBMS) program, where participants teach and develop scientific communication skills with economically disadvantaged high school students. The UBMS program helps to inspire high school students to pursue science related degrees, propagating the impact of this REU site. In a commitment to broadening participation in STEM, this program supports women and students from underrepresented groups. By the completion of this program, students develop complex analytical and communication skills and have a deeper knowledge of science and engineering careers. This REU site offers a range of research projects in chemical assembly, extending from the controlled assembly of colloids on surfaces, to the synthesis of assembled nanoscale catalysts, and to the directed modification of biomolecules. These projects guide participants from undergraduate textbook learning to discovering and solving challenging research problems. Students also develop skills by communicating their research to scientists and the public, take part in field trips to explore industrial careers, learn about careers in academia, and are trained in ethics in research. Best practices gleaned from this site are shared with the wider REU community through publication of a book on chemistry REU sites in an effort to disseminate evidence-based, effective methodology more widely.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.

内布拉斯加州大学内布拉斯加州大学的本科生（REU）地点的这项研究经验在2018 - 2021年夏季，在10周内支持10个学生的培训。主要调查员是马克·格里普（Mark Griep）教授。该站点得到了数学和物理科学局的化学部门的支持。它为化学大会领域的本科参与者提供了原始研究项目。这些项目量身定制，旨在激发学生的好奇心，使学生有机会促进在生物传感器和能量存储等领域的知识。在从事化学研究的同时，学生将了解化学工业的职业，研究生院申请过程，以及如何通过出版和向各种观众的出版和演讲来传播研究结果。参与者参加了向上约束的数学科学（UBMS）计划，参与者在该计划中与经济不利的高中生教授和发展科学沟通技巧。 UBMS计划有助于激发高中生攻读与科学相关的学位，从而传播REU网站的影响。为了扩大对STEM的参与的承诺，该计划支持来自代表性不足的群体的妇女和学生。通过完成该计划，学生发展了复杂的分析和沟通技巧，并对科学和工程职业具有更深入的了解。 该REU站点提供了化学组装中的一系列研究项目，从表面上的胶体的受控组装延伸到组装纳米级催化剂的合成以及生物分子的定向修饰。这些项目指导参与者从本科教科书学习到发现和解决具有挑战性的研究问题。学生还通过向科学家和公众进行研究来发展技能，参加实地考察以探索工业职业，了解学术界的职业并接受了研究伦理学的培训。通过出版有关化学REU网站的书，与更广泛的REU社区共享的最佳实践是与更广泛的REU网站共享的，以更广泛地传播基于证据的，有效的方法论。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来获得支持的。
