This three year renewal REU Site entitled "IEDA Incubator for Porous Materials: Integrating Discovery, Engineering and Art (IDEA) Incubator" is hosted by the University of Kansas. The primary goal is to engage ten undergraduate students each year in a variety of experiences, both in and out of the laboratory over the course of the ten week Summer semester, aiming to nurture innovative thinking, communication, and teamwork. These skills are essential to train the future workforce that will help the U.S. compete in the worldwide economy. The topic will help attract students with varying backgrounds, including women, underrepresented minorities, those with disabilities and veterans, to pursue and prepare for careers in science and engineering, and graduate education. Each summer, ten undergraduates will grow as independent researchers and thinkers. Participants will be involved in team-based learning projects focused on porous materials, which have a variety of applications in both chemical and biomedical fields. Training activities will be provided to help students develop a robust understanding of innovation and concepts of time and scale, which are critical for scientific knowledge and discovery.This three year renewal REU Site entitled "IEDA Incubator for Porous Materials: Integrating Discovery, Engineering and Art (IDEA) Incubator" is hosted by the University of Kansas.

These skills are essential to train the future workforce that will help the U.S. compete in the worldwide economy. During the 10-week summer program, this REU Site will engage ten undergraduate students in research on topics related to porous materials that varies from fundamental to applied. For example, participants will gain fundamental knowledge on how to synthesize absorbents for chemical separations, catalysts to convert renewable feedstocks into valuable chemicals, print 3D passive samples for remediation and tune the surface of heterogeneous catalysts. In addition, students will gain hands-on-experience with state-of-the art analytical tools for characterizing porous materials. REU students will be mentored by experienced faculty and trained graduate students. Furthermore, synergistic benefits will arise from partnering with KU Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site and faculty team’s outreach efforts, leading to broader impacts for high school-level students.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.

这三年更新REU网站题为“IEDA孵化器多孔材料：集成发现，工程和艺术（IDEA）孵化器”是由堪萨斯大学主办。主要目标是每年让10名本科生在为期10周的夏季学期的实验室内外进行各种体验，旨在培养创新思维，沟通和团队合作。这些技能对于培养未来的劳动力至关重要，这将有助于美国在全球经济中竞争。该主题将有助于吸引不同背景的学生，包括妇女，代表性不足的少数民族，残疾人和退伍军人，追求和准备在科学和工程，研究生教育的职业生涯。每年夏天，十名本科生将成长为独立的研究人员和思想家。参与者将参与以团队为基础的学习项目，重点是多孔材料，这在化学和生物医学领域有各种应用。将提供培训活动，以帮助学生发展创新和时间和规模的概念，这是科学知识和发现的关键。这个为期三年的更新REU网站题为“IEDA孵化器多孔材料：集成发现，工程和艺术（IDEA）孵化器”是由堪萨斯大学主办。主要目标是让本科生在夏季学期的课程中参与各种实验室内外的体验，旨在培养创新思维，沟通和团队合作。这些技能对于培养未来的劳动力至关重要，这将有助于美国在全球经济中竞争。在为期10周的暑期课程中，该REU网站将邀请10名本科生参与与多孔材料相关的主题研究，这些主题从基础到应用各不相同。例如，参与者将获得有关如何合成用于化学分离的吸收剂，将可再生原料转化为有价值的化学品的催化剂，打印用于修复的3D被动样品以及调整非均相催化剂表面的基础知识。此外，学生将获得与国家的最先进的分析工具表征多孔材料的实践经验。REU学生将由经验丰富的教师和训练有素的研究生指导。此外，与KU Research Experiences for Teachers（RET）Site和教师团队的外展工作合作将产生协同效益，为高中学生带来更广泛的影响。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力审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
