This REU site award to the University of Kansas, located in Lawrence, KS, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. At this REU site, funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, Professors David R. Benson, Mikhail V. Barybin, and colleagues engage students with interdisciplinary chemistry research projects, ranging from chemical biology to energy and nanoscience. Students also take part in a range of educational and professional development activities, which include training in the responsible conduct of research and panel discussions on the variety of career options available to chemists. The program serves the broader chemical sciences community by mentoring and training students from primarily undergraduate institutions across the nation, who otherwise have limited opportunities for research experiences, and by encouraging participation of women and members of traditionally underrepresented groups in the sciences, including students with disabilities.Participants select projects from six interdisciplinary research areas ranging from chemical biology, microfluidics and mass spectrometry to materials chemistry, energy and nanoscience to lasers, spectroscopy and molecular dynamics. Examples of projects include the design of organometallic materials relevant to molecular- and opto-electronics, exploring the role of catalyst structure in production of renewable fuels, and development of separation-based sensors for understanding the origins of neurological disorders. Students benefit from the highly collaborative environment provided by the large KU chemical community, close interactions with faculty and graduate student (or postdoctoral) mentors, state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to communicate and disseminate their accomplishments in written and oral forms.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 向位于堪萨斯州劳伦斯的堪萨斯大学颁发的这一场地奖，支持 2020 年至 2022 年夏季对 10 名学生进行为期 10 周的培训。在这个由数学和物理科学理事会化学部资助的 REU 网站上，David R. Benson 教授、Mikhail V. Barybin 教授及其同事让学生参与从化学生物学到能源和纳米科学的跨学科化学研究项目。学生还参加一系列教育和专业发展活动，其中包括负责任地进行研究的培训以及关于化学家可用的各种职业选择的小组讨论。 该计划为更广泛的化学科学界提供服务，通过指导和培训来自全国各地主要本科院校的学生（否则这些学生获得研究经验的机会有限），并鼓励女性和传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体成员（包括残疾学生）的参与。参与者从六个跨学科研究领域选择项目，从化学生物学、微流体和质谱到材料化学、能源和化学。 纳米科学到激光、光谱学和分子动力学。项目示例包括与分子和光电子学相关的有机金属材料的设计、探索催化剂结构在可再生燃料生产中的作用以及开发基于分离的传感器以了解神经系统疾病的起源。学生受益于大型 KU 化学社区提供的高度协作环境、与教师和研究生（或博士后）导师的密切互动、最先进的设施以及以书面和口头形式交流和传播其成就的机会。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。
