This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Florida State University, located in Tallahassee, FL, supports the training 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, participants pursue interdisciplinary research projects emphasizing photochemistry, photophysics, and spectroscopy. Although students are encouraged to apply from across the country, the site emphasizes the recruitment of students from Florida and the Southeastern United States, particularly those from institutions with few research opportunities and those part of underrepresented groups in chemistry. Participants also take part in a professional development and ethics training, with a focus on science communication and preparation for graduate school or industrial careers. They will also be trained in chemical safety. Through independent research projects and weekly events including workshops, seminars, and Photochemistry Cafés, this site broadens participation in STEM and encourages the pursuit of research careers in STEM fields. The students participate in hands-on research that is of great interest to modern science and technology. In particular, the research projects that are designed to advance knowledge relevant to solar-energy conversion, photochemical reactions, ultrafast photophysical events, and photomagnetic effects. Participants also receive training in synthetic chemistry, a variety of analytical techniques, and theoretical methods. Continued post-program mentoring is provided to the REU participants after they return to their home institutions; they are encouraged to present their work at their home institutions and at professional conferences. This program will build on long-standing efforts by the FSU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in training undergraduates through an active research involvement, which has motivated many students to pursue graduate degrees and to enter careers in science and engineering.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.

位于佛罗里达州塔拉哈西的佛罗里达州立大学获得本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站奖，支持 2022 年至 2024 年夏季对 10 名学生进行为期 10 周的培训。在该计划中，由化学司和国防部 ASSURE 计划资助，参与者开展强调光化学、光物理学和光谱学的跨学科研究项目。尽管鼓励全国各地的学生申请，但该网站强调招收来自佛罗里达州和美国东南部的学生，特别是那些来自研究机会很少的机构以及化学领域代表性不足的群体的学生。参与者还参加专业发展和道德培训，重点是科学传播和研究生院或工业职业生涯的准备。他们还将接受化学品安全培训。通过独立研究项目和每周活动（包括讲习班、研讨会和光化学咖啡馆），该网站扩大了 STEM 的参与范围，并鼓励在 STEM 领域追求研究职业。学生们参与对现代科学技术非常感兴趣的实践研究。特别是旨在推进太阳能转换、光化学反应、超快光物理事件和光磁效应相关知识的研究项目。参与者还接受合成化学、各种分析技术和理论方法方面的培训。 REU 参与者返回原籍机构后，将获得持续的项目后指导；鼓励他们在本国机构和专业会议上展示自己的工作。该计划将建立在 FSU 化学和生物化学系通过积极参与研究来培训本科生的长期努力的基础上，这激励了许多学生攻读研究生学位并进入科学和工程领域的职业生涯。该网站得到了国防部 ASSURE 计划与 NSF REU 计划的合作支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用 基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
