This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This award will support 10 undergraduate students for 10 weeks of research training and professional during the summers of 2022-2025 at New York University (NYU). This site, managed by Professors Paramjit Arora and Daniela Buccella, will introduce young scientists to the rapidly growing and technologically important research field of chemical biology. The site aims to introduce undergraduate science majors to cutting-edge research at the chemistry-biology interface that will capture their interest in science and engineering careers. It will provide students with basic professional skills to succeed in graduate school and beyond, and increase the awareness of various career opportunities in science and engineering fields. Finally, the site will also create a collaborative environment to broaden participation in chemistry by recruiting and supporting a diverse set of participants.For this REU Site, programming combines research, professional development training, and social activities designed to foster a sense of community among student participants and mentors. The research component will be integrated with thematically related efforts at NYU, including new university initiatives in the Department of Chemistry such as the Biomedical Chemistry Institute (BCI), the Laboratory of Molecular Recognition and Synthesis (LMRS), and the Center for Computational Chemistry (C3). Featuring open lab spaces specifically designed to foster communication and collaboration between research groups with complementary expertise, the site will provide an interdisciplinary science experience to the participants as each student will have the opportunity to interact with at least two groups that have ongoing collaborations and joint students. Participants will explore fundamental aspects of chemical biology through projects that range from computational design to organic synthesis of biomolecular scaffolds to biochemical analysis of molecular interactions. A series of workshops will provide the students with professional development exercises that often are lacking in traditional undergraduate curricula, including skill-building activities in scientific writing and presentation, and workshops related to ethics of research and publicationThis 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.

该奖项的全部或部分资金来自《2021年美国救援计划法案》(公法117-2)。该奖项将支持10名本科生在2022-2025年夏季期间在纽约大学(NYU)进行为期10周的研究培训和专业培训。这个网站由帕罗吉特·阿罗拉教授和丹妮拉·布塞拉教授管理，将向年轻科学家介绍快速发展和具有重要技术意义的化学生物学研究领域。该网站旨在向理科本科生介绍化学-生物界面的尖端研究，这将激发他们对科学和工程职业的兴趣。它将为学生提供在研究生院及以后取得成功的基本专业技能，并提高对科学和工程领域各种职业机会的认识。最后，该网站还将通过招募和支持不同的参与者，创造一个扩大化学参与的合作环境。对于这个REU网站，编程结合了研究、专业发展培训和社会活动，旨在培养学生参与者和导师之间的社区意识。研究部分将与纽约大学的主题相关工作相结合，包括化学系的新大学倡议，如生物医学化学研究所(BCI)、分子识别与合成实验室(LMRS)和计算化学中心(C3)。该网站的特色是开放的实验室空间，专门为促进具有互补专业知识的研究小组之间的交流和合作而设计，将为参与者提供跨学科的科学体验，因为每个学生都将有机会与至少两个正在进行合作和联合学生的小组互动。参与者将通过从生物分子支架的计算设计到有机合成，再到分子相互作用的生化分析等项目，探索化学生物学的基本方面。一系列研讨会将为学生提供传统本科课程中经常缺乏的专业发展练习，包括科学写作和演示方面的技能培养活动，以及与研究和出版伦理有关的研讨会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
