REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Chemistry and Biochemistry at Miami University

这个研究经验的本科生网站奖给迈阿密大学，位于牛津，俄亥俄州，支持10名学生在2019年至2021年的夏天10周的培训。该计划由数学和物理科学理事会化学部资助，为参与者提供广泛的，独立的研究经验，涉及密切的学生/教师和学生/学生互动。参与者可以选择分析，生物，无机，有机，物理化学或化学教育研究的研究项目，大多数项目是跨学科的。这些研究经验旨在发展和完善参与者的实验技能，并提高他们作为研究团队一员的工作能力。参与者通过制定研究计划和科学演示文稿，学习科学伦理，探索化学和生物化学职业来进行专业发展。密集的研究，专业发展，队列建设和社区参与相结合，为参与者提供了一个坚实的基础，在干的职业生涯。参与者参加研究项目，涵盖广泛的和跨学科的化学领域，包括金属酶的调查，蛋白质运输系统，液相色谱和电泳，分子自组装。该计划的目标是来自研究机会很少的机构的学生和那些在物理科学领域代表性不足的学生。为了促进化学和生物化学的劳动力，该计划使参与者接触到新的职业道路，并为他们提供将批判性思维技能应用于开放式研究的机会。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。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates site award to Miami University, located in Oxford, OH, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019-2021. This program, funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Science Directorate, provides participants with wide-ranging, independent research experiences involving close student/faculty and student/student interactions. Participants choose from research projects in analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, physical chemistry, or chemistry education research, with most projects being interdisciplinary. These research experiences are designed to develop and refine participants' experimental skills and enhance their ability to work as part of a research team. Participants engage in professional development by developing research proposals and scientific presentations, learning about ethics in science, and exploring careers in chemistry and biochemistry. The combination of intense research, professional development, cohort building, and community involvement provides participants with a strong foundation for careers in STEM.The participants take part in research projects encompassing broad and interdisciplinary areas of chemistry, including the investigation of metalloenzymes, protein transport systems, liquid chromatography and electrophoresis, and molecular self-assembly. This program targets students from institutions with few research opportunities and those who are underrepresented in the physical sciences. To promote the chemistry and biochemistry workforce, this program exposes participants to new careers paths and gives them an opportunity to apply critical thinking skills to open-ended 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.
