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.

这个REU网站奖给堪萨斯大学，位于劳伦斯，堪萨斯州，支持10名学生的培训10周期间的夏天2020-2022。在这个由数学和物理科学理事会化学部资助的REU网站上，教授大卫R。Benson，Mikhail V. Barybin及其同事让学生参与跨学科的化学研究项目，从化学生物学到能源和纳米科学。学生还参加了一系列的教育和专业发展活动，其中包括在负责任的研究和小组讨论的各种职业选择提供给化学家进行培训。 该计划服务于更广泛的化学科学界，通过指导和培训来自全国主要本科院校的学生，否则他们的研究经验机会有限，并鼓励妇女和传统上代表性不足的群体成员参与科学，包括残疾学生。参与者从六个跨学科研究领域选择项目，从化学生物学，从微流体和质谱到材料化学、能源和纳米科学再到激光、光谱学和分子动力学。项目的例子包括设计与分子和光电子学有关的有机金属材料，探索催化剂结构在生产可再生燃料中的作用，以及开发用于了解神经系统疾病起源的分离传感器。学生受益于大型KU化学社区提供的高度协作环境，与教师和研究生的密切互动（或博士后）导师，最先进的设施，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评估来支持。影响审查标准。
