REU Site: Stony Brook University Chemistry REU in Spectroscopy, Biological Chemistry and Synthesis (SBS)

这个本科生研究经验（REU）网站奖授予位于纽约州石溪市的石溪大学，在2021-2023年的夏季支持10名学生的10周培训。在化学系的支持下，学生将从事由教师指导的研究项目，提供适用于广泛化学专业的技术经验。学生们在研究集群中工作，这是为了提高他们的科学传播技能，并使他们能够与一个学者社区接触。该计划的培训还包括针对整体职业发展、道德、简历建设和网络的专业发展活动。该计划旨在增加学生的多样性，毕业并继续攻读化学科学高级学位。该计划的参与者探索三个基础研究领域之一：光谱学，生物化学或合成。学生将接受与他们的研究项目相关的技能培训，包括有机合成、固态合成、细胞培养和无菌技术的使用、高分辨率核磁共振、质谱、荧光显微镜和拉曼光谱。专业发展系列的重点是职业发展和科学传播，包括一个即兴戏剧研讨会，重点是提炼一个人的科学信息和夏末海报会议。该项目旨在通过从主要本科院校（包括五个合作伙伴西班牙裔服务机构（hsi）和新兴hsi）中招募代表性不足的少数族裔学生和女性，使STEM劳动力多样化。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。

This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Stony Brook University, located in Stony Brook, NY, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2021-2023. In this program, supported by the Chemistry Division, students will pursue faculty-mentored research projects that provide technical experience applicable to a broad range of chemical professions. Students work in research clusters, which is designed to enhance their science communication skills and allow them to engage with a community of scholars. Training in this program also includes professional development activities targeting overall career development, ethics, resume-building and networking. This program aims to increase the diversity of students graduating and going on to advanced degrees in the chemical sciences.Participants in this program explore one of three fundamental research areas: spectroscopy, biological chemistry, or synthesis. Students are trained in skills relevant to their research projects which may include organic synthesis, solid state synthesis, cell culture and use of sterile technique, high resolution NMR, mass spectrometry, fluorescence microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The professional development series focuses on career development and science communication, including an improvisational theater workshop focused upon distilling one's scientific message and an end-of-summer poster session. This program aims to diversify the STEM workforce by recruiting underrepresented minority students and women from primarily undergraduate institutions, including five partner Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) and emerging HSIs.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.
