This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to the University of Michigan, located in Ann Arbor, MI, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. In this program, funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, participants pursue interdisciplinary, problem-based research projects across the contemporary chemical sciences, ranging from the life sciences to biophysics, organic synthesis to computational theory, environmental to analytical measurement. Participants also take part in a professional development program that includes preparation for graduate school or industrial careers, communication skills, and responsible conduct of research. Through a thorough immersion in a mentored and research-active environment, this site develops students' self-confidence and deepens research skills, particularly with students from less research–intensive settings, thereby broadening participation in STEM.The students join an active research group, undertaking individual mentored projects encompassing all fields of interdisciplinary chemistry, including organometallics, energy storage, sustainability, surface science, sensors, optics and imaging, RNA biochemistry, and ultrafast dynamics. The weekly professional development series includes a general seminar on a scientific research area not already featured in the REU program along with a special topic, such as writing personal statements and research reports, poster and oral reports of research, public outreach, cv/resume/interview best practices, and issues of inclusiveness in STEM. To increase diversity in the STEM pipeline, this site actively partners with programs and institutions from which it can recruit underserved and underrepresented populations.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.

本研究经验本科生（REU）网站奖给密歇根大学，位于安阿伯，MI，支持10名学生的培训10周在2020年至2022年的夏天。在该计划中，由数学和物理科学理事会化学部资助，参与者在当代化学科学中进行跨学科，基于问题的研究项目，从生命科学到生物物理学，有机合成到计算理论，环境到分析测量。参与者还参加专业发展计划，包括为研究生院或工业职业，沟通技巧和负责任的研究行为做准备。通过在指导和研究活跃的环境中的彻底沉浸，该网站培养学生的自信心和深化研究技能，特别是来自研究密集度较低的环境的学生，从而扩大STEM的参与。学生加入一个活跃的研究小组，进行个人指导项目，涵盖跨学科化学的所有领域，包括有机金属，能量存储，可持续性，表面科学，传感器、光学和成像、RNA生物化学和超快动力学。每周的专业发展系列包括一个科学研究领域的一般研讨会，该领域尚未在REU计划沿着一个特殊的主题，如撰写个人陈述和研究报告，研究的海报和口头报告，公共宣传，简历/简历/面试最佳实践，以及STEM的包容性问题。为了增加STEM管道的多样性，该网站积极与计划和机构合作，从这些计划和机构中招募服务不足和代表性不足的人群。该奖项反映了NSF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。
