This REU site award to Purdue University, located West Lafayette, IN, supports the training of 8 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, students participate in chemical science research projects specializing in analytical chemistry. While the research focus is on analytical chemistry, project topics range from environmental chemistry to cancer research, chemical data science to analytical instrumentation. Alongside research, students take part in a robust professional development program that covers topics like chemical health and safety, ethics in the sciences, scientific writing and presentation, resume building, and graduate school preparation. Students also learn about "The Business of Chemistry" through a series of informal discussion with faculty who have used their chemical innovations to form start-up companies.Analytical chemical analysis remains one of the most desired skills in the chemical industries, so this site provides students a hands-on opportunity to develop these skills in a variety of different contexts. Some of these projects include instrumentation development; the integration of molecular modeling, experiment, and machine learning for the development of chemical probes; studying the biogeochemistry of nitrogen cycling in environmental systems; and DNA assembly into pre-designed nanostructures. The students are engaged in a variety of professional development seminars and workshops, with unique series on technology transfer from the lab to start-up companies. This site is committed to broadening participation in chemistry, and while it is open to all, it also recruits underrepresented minority students from minority serving institutions. Ultimately, participants gain an understanding of what is required to succeed in a career in chemistry through individual research, teamwork, and outreach.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.

该REU场地授予位于印第安纳州西拉斐特的普渡大学，该大学在2020-2022年夏季为8名学生提供为期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站点，学生参与专门研究分析化学的化学科学研究项目。虽然研究重点是分析化学，但项目主题范围从环境化学到癌症研究，从化学数据科学到分析仪器。除了研究，学生们还参加了一个强大的专业发展项目，涵盖了化学健康和安全、科学伦理、科学写作和演讲、简历制作和研究生院准备等主题。学生们还通过与利用化学创新成立创业公司的教师进行一系列非正式讨论来学习“化学商业”。分析化学分析仍然是化学工业中最需要的技能之一，因此本网站为学生提供了在各种不同环境中发展这些技能的实践机会。其中一些项目包括仪器开发；结合分子建模、实验和机器学习开发化学探针；环境系统中氮循环的生物地球化学研究和DNA组装成预先设计的纳米结构。学生们参加了各种专业发展研讨会和讲习班，有一系列关于从实验室到初创公司的技术转移的独特系列。该网站致力于扩大化学的参与，虽然它对所有人开放，但它也从少数民族服务机构招募代表性不足的少数民族学生。最终，参与者将通过个人研究、团队合作和拓展，了解在化学领域取得成功所需的条件。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
