项目摘要

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award, with a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) component, provides ten REU and two RET participants with ten-weeks of research training and professional development. In this program, supported by the Division of Chemistry, REU and RET participants will conduct individual chemistry or biochemistry research projects using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. These chemistry and biochemistry research projects focus on critical problems related to chemical and biochemical industries. Planned professional development activities for REU and RET participants include visits to chemical and biochemical companies; workshops discussing current and grand challenges in industry and the most important skills to success in industry; and the creation of presentations for a national chemistry conference. Inspiring the next generation of scientists, both REU and RET participants will work with the BYU summer chemistry and biochemistry camps for children and youth.REU and RET participants at this site will conduct independent research on projects spanning chemistry and biochemistry, particularly on fundamental research projects with an industrial connection. Slated projects include the development of heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 removal, the design of miniaturized mass spectrometers and of micrometer microfluidic devices, organic synthesis endeavors toward targets with putative anticancer activity, and computational chemistry directed at the modeling and design of new catalysts. Alongside the professional development activities, these projects, facilitated by BYU Chemistry and Biochemistry faculty, will provide participants with experiences in problem solving and scientific discovery, preparing them to earn advanced degrees and enter the industrial chemistry workforce. To increase the diversity of the STEM workforce, REU recruitment at this site will emphasize participation of students from two-year colleges and those from underrepresented minority groups.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.

本科生研究经验（REU）网站奖，与教师研究经验（RET）组成部分，提供十个REU和两个RET参与者十周的研究培训和专业发展。在该计划中，由化学，REU和RET参与者的部门的支持将使用国家的最先进的设备和技术进行个人化学或生物化学研究项目。这些化学和生物化学研究项目侧重于与化学和生物化学工业相关的关键问题。REU和RET参与者计划的专业发展活动包括参观化学和生物化学公司;讨论行业当前和重大挑战的研讨会以及在行业中取得成功的最重要技能;以及为全国化学会议创建演示文稿。为了培养下一代科学家，REU和RET的参与者将与杨百翰大学的儿童和青少年化学和生物化学夏令营合作。REU和RET的参与者将在这个网站上进行独立的研究，研究项目涵盖化学和生物化学，特别是与工业相关的基础研究项目。计划的项目包括用于CO2去除的非均相催化剂的开发，小型化质谱仪和微米微流体装置的设计，对具有推定抗癌活性的目标的有机合成努力，以及针对新催化剂的建模和设计的计算化学。除了专业发展活动，这些项目，由杨百翰大学化学和生物化学教师促进，将为参与者提供解决问题和科学发现的经验，准备他们获得高级学位，并进入工业化学劳动力。为了增加STEM劳动力的多样性，REU在这个网站上的招聘将强调来自两年制大学的学生和那些代表性不足的少数群体的参与。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
