项目摘要

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Duquesne University, located in Pittsburgh, PA, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. Funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, the Duquesne REU site impacts the education and professional chemistry careers of undergraduates and faculty from Appalachian regional institutions with limited research infrastructure and/or from underrepresented populations. Alongside conducting research that integrates computational and experimental chemistry, students receive training that reinforces the scientific method, scientific writing and speaking, ethics, safety, and workshops on state-of-the-art instrumentation to complement their experimental research. Faculty establish meaningful, year-round, and long-term research collaborations driven by the need for academic productivity and excellence in undergraduate training. Taken together, this REU site promotes collaborative science while training the next generation of chemists.Student research projects include the synthesis of non-addictive analgesics driven by computational prediction; developing theory for asymmetric catalyst design; understanding the wear of protective organic thin films on metals; and studying electron transfer processes in copper complexes. This site also offers research support for PUI/HBCU/LSAMP faculty, who in turn directly impact students and learning environments at their home institutions. Ultimately students expand their professional exposure and network to make more informed career decisions and best prepare for graduate school, while faculty are empowered through meaningful and productive academic collaboration.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.

这项在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的杜肯大学（Duquesne University）授予本科生（REU）现场奖的研究经验，在2020 - 2022年夏季，支持10个学生的10周培训。 Duquesne REU网站由数学和物理科学局的化学划分资助，影响了来自阿巴拉契亚地区机构的本科生和教职员工的教育和专业化学职业，其研究基础设施有限和/或来自人口不足的人群。除了进行整合计算和实验化学的研究外，学生还接受了培训，以加强科学方法，科学写作和说话，道德，安全性，安全性和最新工具讲习班，以补充他们的实验研究。教师建立了有意义的，全年和长期的研究合作，这是由学术生产力和卓越本科培训的需求所驱动的。综上所述，该REU网站在培训下一代化学家的同时促进了协作科学。研究项目包括由计算预测驱动的非添加性镇痛学的综合；开发不对称催化剂设计的理论；了解金属保护性有机薄膜的磨损；并研究铜复合物中的电子传输过程。该网站还为PUI/HBCU/LSAMP教师提供了研究支持，后者反过来直接影响其家庭机构的学生和学习环境。最终，学生扩大了他们的专业领域和网络，以做出更明智的职业决策，并为研究生院做好准备，而教师通过有意义和富有成效的学术合作获得了能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
