This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at Vanderbilt University, located in Nashville, TN, will support the training of 10 undergraduate students for an immersive 10-week research experience during the summers of 2021-2023. The program provides research opportunities in chemical biology within the laboratories of seasoned Vanderbilt faculty mentors, as well as exposure to new areas of research through interdisciplinary scientific seminars. In an effort to prepare and support students for their future scientific careers, a complementary professional development seminar series is included in the summer research experience and covers essential topics such as research ethics, safety training, abstract writing, and poster presentation techniques. Seminars on applying to graduate school, seeking out funding opportunities and a separate GRE preparation class are also available to participants to help prepare them for post-secondary education opportunities. Ultimately, this program aims to promote and train a diverse body of students for careers in the scientific workforce by providing them with immersive interdisciplinary research experiences.The Vanderbilt chemical biology-themed REU program aims to recruit a diverse group of undergraduate students who are majoring in chemistry, biochemistry and biology for careers in trans-disciplinary chemical or biochemical research. Research topics include proteomics, structural biology, chemical synthesis, and synthetic biology. Diverse role models, including alumni and faculty, offer pictures of success pursuing research directions that integrate human health and basic science. Through personalized mentoring and an authentic research experience, this program is designed to help students develop the understanding and tenacity necessary for a career in cutting-edge chemical biology research.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.

这个本科生研究经验（REU）网站在范德比尔特大学，位于纳什维尔，TN，将支持10名本科生的培训沉浸式10周的研究经验在2021年至2023年的夏天。该计划在经验丰富的范德比尔特教师导师的实验室内提供化学生物学研究机会，并通过跨学科科学研讨会接触新的研究领域。在努力准备和支持学生为他们未来的科学生涯，一个补充的专业发展研讨会系列包括在夏季的研究经验，并涵盖基本主题，如研究伦理，安全培训，摘要写作和海报演示技术。 参加者还可以参加关于申请研究生院、寻找资助机会和单独的GRE准备班的研讨会，以帮助他们为中学后教育机会做好准备。 最终，该计划旨在通过为学生提供沉浸式的跨学科研究经验，促进和培养多元化的学生在科学劳动力中的职业生涯。范德比尔特化学生物学为主题的REU计划旨在招募化学，生物化学和生物学专业的多元化本科生，从事跨学科化学或生物化学研究。研究课题包括蛋白质组学、结构生物学、化学合成和合成生物学。不同的榜样，包括校友和教师，提供成功追求的研究方向，整合人类健康和基础科学的图片。通过个性化的指导和真实的研究经验，该计划旨在帮助学生培养在前沿化学生物学研究中所需的理解力和坚韧性。该奖项反映了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。
