REU Site: REU Chemical Biology Site at New York University

该奖项全部或部分根据2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。该奖项将支持10名本科生在2022-2025年夏季在纽约大学（NYU）进行为期10周的研究培训和专业培训。该网站由Paramjit Arora教授和Daniela Buccella教授管理，将向年轻科学家介绍化学生物学这一快速发展和技术重要的研究领域。该网站旨在向本科理科专业学生介绍化学-生物学界面的前沿研究，以吸引他们对科学和工程职业的兴趣。它将为学生提供基本的专业技能，使他们在研究生院及以后取得成功，并提高对科学和工程领域各种职业机会的认识。最后，该网站还将创建一个协作的环境，以扩大参与化学通过招募和支持一组不同的participant.For这个REU网站，编程结合研究，专业发展培训，旨在促进学生参与者和导师之间的社区意识的社会活动。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计划，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）。该网站设有开放的实验室空间，专门用于促进具有互补专业知识的研究小组之间的沟通和合作，该网站将为参与者提供跨学科的科学体验，因为每个学生都有机会与至少两个正在进行合作的团体和联合学生进行互动。参与者将通过从计算设计到生物分子支架的有机合成到分子相互作用的生化分析的项目来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缺乏的专业发展练习，包括科学写作和演讲的技能培养活动，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，并被认为值得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来支持。

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.
