This Research Experiences for Undergraduates site award to Michigan State University, located in East Lansing, MI, supports the training of 8 students for 10 weeks. This program, funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Science Directorate, engages participants in independent research in sustainable chemistry and chemical processes. This program trains participants to be stewards of the environment, leading toward safer laboratories and laboratory practices and reduced volume and toxicity of chemical waste. Participants take part in a variety of professional development opportunities, including journal readings, faculty research presentations and networking dinners, and training in research ethics, basic statistics, laboratory and chemical safety, strategies for applying to graduate school, and communication skills. Incorporation of green chemistry principles can equip and inspire the next generation of chemists to solve the greatest sustainability challenges facing our planet.The research projects available to participants encompass the theme of sustainable chemistry, including green synthesis, water purification, solar energy conversion and energy storage, environmentally-friendly coating technologies for corrosion control, computational methods for energy-related materials, advanced imaging and spectroscopy, and biocatalysis. This program generally recruits underrepresented students in their junior and senior years. Alongside developing a 'research toolbox', the participants learn how chemistry can be constructed in a sustainable and responsible manner through workshops, lectures, and webinars.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.

位于密西西比州东兰辛的密歇根州立大学获得的本科生研究经验奖，支持8名学生进行为期10周的培训。这项计划由数学和物理科学局的化学司资助，让参与者参与可持续化学和化学过程的独立研究。该计划培训参与者成为环境管理员，从而实现更安全的实验室和实验室实践，并减少化学废物的数量和毒性。参与者参加各种职业发展机会，包括期刊阅读、教师研究报告和网络晚宴，以及研究道德、基本统计、实验室和化学安全、申请研究生院的战略和沟通技能方面的培训。融入绿色化学原理可以装备和激励下一代化学家解决地球面临的最大可持续发展挑战。与会者可进行的研究项目包括可持续化学主题，包括绿色合成、水净化、太阳能转换和储能、用于腐蚀控制的环保涂层技术、与能源相关的材料的计算方法、先进成像和光谱分析以及生物催化。这项计划一般招收低年级和高年级学生。除了开发“研究工具箱”，参与者还将通过研讨会、讲座和网络研讨会学习如何以可持续和负责任的方式构建化学。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。
