This REU site award to the University of Cincinnati, located in Cincinnati, OH, supports a total of 28 students for 10 weeks during the summers from 2020-2022. This program, supported by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, engages students in research projects spanning the field of chemistry. Students work on these projects, which are carefully designed for the 10-week timeline, under the guidance of faculty mentors. Alongside the hands-on research projects, students attend seminars and workshops to learn about current real-life scientific challenges such as “Data Science for Big Data in Chemistry” and “Sustainable Chemistry.” Students also take part in professional development activities, giving them the opportunity to develop as young professionals and researchers. Taken together, these activities prepare students to enter the STEM workforce as informed, knowledgeable professionals with a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities before them.The students engage in research projects spanning the field of chemistry, from solid-state photochemistry, to computational biochemistry, to biocompatible polymers, to electrocatalysis. The projects are designed for the 10-week timeline such that each student may advance scientific knowledge, including through refereed publications and a presentation at a suitable scientific meeting. Professional and skill development activities include workshops on reading scientific journals, creating individual professional development plans, and data science in chemistry. While this site is open to all, a focus on minority recruiting and the involvement of a faculty member from an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) expands and strengthens diversity in the workforce.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.

REU 向位于俄亥俄州辛辛那提的辛辛那提大学颁发的这一场地奖，在 2020 年至 2022 年的夏季为总共 28 名学生提供为期 10 周的资助。该计划由数学和物理科学局化学系支持，让学生参与化学领域的研究项目。学生们在教师导师的指导下完成这些项目，这些项目是在 10 周的时间内精心设计的。除了实践研究项目外，学生还参加研讨会和讲习班，了解当前现实生活中的科学挑战，例如“化学中大数据的数据科学”和“可持续化学”。学生还参加专业发展活动，使他们有机会发展成为年轻的专业人​​士和研究人员。总而言之，这些活动帮助学生成为知识渊博、知识渊博的专业人士，成为 STEM 劳动力，对他们面临的挑战和机遇有深入的了解。学生参与的研究项目涵盖化学领域，从固态光化学到计算生物化学，到生物相容性聚合物，再到电催化。这些项目的时间安排为 10 周，以便每个学生都可以通过参考出版物和在适当的科学会议上的演讲来提高科学知识。专业和技能发展活动包括阅读科学期刊、制定个人专业发展计划和化学数据科学的研讨会。 虽然该网站向所有人开放，但对少数族裔招聘的关注以及来自 HBCU（历史上的黑人学院和大学）教员的参与扩大并加强了劳动力的多样性。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
