This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Rice University, located in Houston, TX sponsors the preparation of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022-2024. In this program, funded by the Division of Chemistry and the Department of Defense ASSURE program, students participate in research projects focused on advancing Chemical Nanoscale Science and Technology. As part of the program, the students are exposed to a variety of professional development and leadership training activities in addition to personal mentoring in their individual projects. The combination of strategic recruitment, research, professional development, and leadership activities allows this REU site to support education and diversity to prepare the new generation of leaders in STEM. The participating students work on individual projects related to different subareas in Chemical Nanosciences including, Nano Materials, Nano Medicine, Nano Organic, Nano Theory/Computation, Nano Physical, and Nano Imaging. In addition, the students partake in professional leadership training in collaboration with the Doerr Institute for New Leaders, professional development activities in partnership with the Rice Center for Career Development, and the Rice Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, and scientific literacy activities organized by the PI team. The long-term objective of this REU site is to enhance the preparation, number, and diversity of students pursuing graduate degrees and careers in STEM. Appropriate representation is ensured by recruiting students through established partnerships with minority-serving institutions and primarily undergraduate institutions.This site is supported by the Department of Defense ASSURE program in partnership with the NSF REU program.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.

这个本科生研究体验(REU)站点奖授予位于德克萨斯州休斯顿的莱斯大学，该奖项赞助了10名学生在2022-2024年夏季为期10周的准备工作。在这个由化学部和国防部保证计划资助的项目中，学生们参与了专注于推进化学纳米科学和技术的研究项目。作为该计划的一部分，学生们除了在个人项目中接受个人指导外，还将接受各种专业发展和领导力培训活动。战略招聘、研究、专业发展和领导力活动的结合使这个REU网站能够支持教育和多样性，以培养STEM的新一代领导者。参与的学生从事与化学纳米科学的不同子领域相关的个人项目，包括纳米材料、纳米医学、纳米有机、纳米理论/计算、纳米物理和纳米成像。此外，学生们还参加了与Doerr新领导人研究所合作的专业领导力培训、与莱斯职业发展中心以及莱斯研究生和博士后研究办公室合作的职业发展活动，以及由国际和平研究所组织的科学素养活动。这个REU网站的长期目标是提高在STEM攻读研究生学位和职业的学生的准备、数量和多样性。通过与少数族裔服务机构和主要是本科院校建立合作伙伴关系，确保适当的代表性。该网站由国防部保证计划与NSF REU计划合作支持。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。
