This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Kansas State University, located in Manhattan, KS, supports the training of 10 undergraduate students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2019-2021. This program, funded by the Division of Chemistry, engages participants in chemistry research projects. These research projects have applications in national security related to health and energy. Participants also receive individual faculty mentorship through the research experience. In addition to conducting research during the summer, the undergraduate students take part in a number of professional development activities including seminars introducing participants to research, laboratory safety, scientific presentations, and the nature of science and scientific inquiry. Through this program, participants engage in the scientific research process and are prepared for graduate school and careers in the chemical sciences.The research projects conducted by the undergraduate researchers are in diverse areas of chemistry, impacting national biosecurity. The projects include the development of diagnostic devices for the detection of diseases and disease organisms, the synthesis of a variety of molecules with potential impact on human health, and the development of inexpensive renewable energy and energy storage devices and catalysts. This site recruits participants nationwide, with a particular focus on students in the Midwest and students from community colleges and institutions with limited research opportunities. In addition to the research experience, the diverse group of undergraduates partake in a seminar series and networking social functions that serve to prepare them for graduate school and careers in STEM.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.

本科生（REU）的研究经验，这个网站奖给堪萨斯州立大学，位于曼哈顿，堪萨斯州，支持10名本科生的培训10周在2019年至2021年的夏天。该计划由化学部资助，参与化学研究项目。 这些研究项目在与健康和能源有关的国家安全方面有应用。参与者还通过研究经验获得个人教师指导。除了在夏季进行研究，本科生参加了一些专业发展活动，包括研讨会介绍参与者的研究，实验室安全，科学演示，科学和科学探究的性质。通过该计划，参与者参与科学研究过程，并为化学科学的研究生院和职业做好准备。本科研究人员进行的研究项目涉及化学的各个领域，影响国家生物安全。这些项目包括开发用于检测疾病和病原体的诊断设备，合成对人类健康有潜在影响的各种分子，以及开发廉价的可再生能源和能源储存设备和催化剂。该网站在全国范围内招募参与者，特别关注中西部的学生以及来自社区学院和研究机会有限的机构的学生。除了研究经验之外，不同的本科生群体还参加了一系列研讨会和社交活动，为他们进入研究生院和STEM职业做好准备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
