This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Georgia Institute of Technology, located in Atlanta, GA, supports the training of 10 undergraduate students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. This program, funded by the Division of Chemistry engages participants in chemistry research related to Function, Application, Structure, and Theory (FAST). Each undergraduate participant works with an individual faculty member who has an active research group in a thematic area of interest. Other components of the program include team-building activities, regular group meetings, a seminar/workshop series, research symposia, an emphasis on developing a professional social media presence, and field trips to industrial and/or government laboratories. These activities serve to acquaint participants with a broad array of projects, provide them with the opportunity to enhance their presentation skills, and provide a perspective on chemical research in a scholarly, entrepreneurial, economic, and ethical framework. Ultimately, this site promotes the growth of a diverse, well-trained chemistry workforce.The research projects available for participants span the chemical sciences space. Some of the projects include the study of mechanisms of heme trafficking and signaling, click chemistry in the development of functional materials, electronic structure theory, and mass spectrometry-based protein analysis. The non-research activities provide participants with professional development and training on a variety of topics, including ethics, presentation skills, and research frontiers. This site emphasizes recruitment of students from underrepresented groups in chemistry and provides them with the skills and motivation to embark upon careers in sciences.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.

这个本科生研究经验（REU）网站奖授予位于佐治亚州亚特兰大的佐治亚理工学院，支持在2020-2022年夏季对10名本科生进行为期10周的培训。本项目由化学学部资助，主要从事与功能、应用、结构和理论（FAST）相关的化学研究。每个本科生参与者与一个在感兴趣的主题领域有一个活跃的研究小组的教员一起工作。该计划的其他组成部分包括团队建设活动，定期小组会议，研讨会/研讨会系列，研究专题讨论会，重点是发展专业的社交媒体存在，以及到工业和/或政府实验室的实地考察。这些活动有助于参与者熟悉广泛的项目，为他们提供提高演讲技巧的机会，并在学术、企业、经济和道德框架中提供化学研究的视角。最终，该网站促进了多样化，训练有素的化学劳动力的增长。可供参与者参与的研究项目涵盖化学科学领域。一些项目包括血红素运输和信号传导机制的研究、功能材料开发中的点击化学、电子结构理论和基于质谱的蛋白质分析。非研究活动为参与者提供各种主题的专业发展和培训，包括道德，演讲技巧和研究前沿。该网站强调招收来自化学领域代表性不足群体的学生，并为他们提供从事科学事业的技能和动力。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
