This REU Site award to Syracuse University, located in Syracuse, NY, supports 10 students for 10 weeks of chemistry research training during the summers from 2020-2022. At this site, funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, students take part in research projects spanning the field of chemistry, gaining practical knowledge and skills through hands-on learning. Alongside research, students participate in professional development training where they gain new perspectives in chemistry, navigate the different career and educational pathways in the chemical sciences, and practice scientific communication skills. This site supports students with no prior research experience, underrepresented minorities, and veterans, which serves to broaden participation and increase diversity in the chemical sciences.Students undertake research projects spanning the field of chemistry, from modeling electronic processes in nanoparticles, to understanding the cellular mechanisms of protein separation, to designing biocompatible metal organic frameworks. From these, projects students gain skills in literature review, experimental design, collecting and interpreting data, and communicating conclusions through written reports, oral presentations, and a poster session. In addition to research, students participate in weekly lunch meetings, a career program, an ethics seminar, a multi-university poster session, excursions, and social events. Students also interact with a diverse cohort of peers, including international undergraduate researchers, affording students a broader perspective of the chemical 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.

该REU网站奖授予位于纽约州锡拉丘兹的锡拉丘兹大学，在2020-2022年的夏季为10名学生提供为期10周的化学研究培训。在这个由数学和物理科学理事会化学部资助的网站上，学生们参与跨越化学领域的研究项目，通过动手学习获得实用知识和技能。除了研究，学生还参加专业发展培训，在那里他们获得化学的新视角，在化学科学中导航不同的职业和教育途径，并实践科学沟通技巧。该网站支持没有研究经验的学生、未被充分代表的少数民族和退伍军人，这有助于扩大参与和增加化学科学的多样性。学生将承担跨越化学领域的研究项目，从纳米粒子的电子过程建模，到了解蛋白质分离的细胞机制，再到设计生物相容性金属有机框架。通过这些，参与项目的学生获得了文献综述、实验设计、收集和解释数据以及通过书面报告、口头报告和海报会议传达结论的技能。除了研究之外，学生们还参加每周的午餐会议、职业规划、道德研讨会、多所大学的海报会议、短途旅行和社交活动。学生还与包括国际本科生研究人员在内的不同群体进行互动，为学生提供了更广阔的化学劳动力视角。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。
