This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to the University of Wyoming, located in Laramie, WY, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2024-2026. In this program, funded by the Division of Chemistry, participants will pursue collaborative research projects focusing on analytical chemistry, sustainability, and renewable energy. Students will also take part in a professional development and ethics training program, with an emphasis on science communication and preparation for graduate school or industrial careers. This REU site broadens participation in STEM through independent research projects, workshop and seminar series. Participants are recruited from community colleges in the Wyoming region and neighboring states (MT, SD, NE, CO, UT, and ID). Students will work in chemistry research groups on a range of interdisciplinary projects related to renewable energy, polymers, and biochemistry. The hands-on research will be complemented by a variety of activities including seminars, professional development series, and travel to National Laboratories (National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Idaho National Laboratory (INL)). The professional development series will additionally encompass seminars on scientific writing, scientific ethics, data visualization, and social media management.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.

位于怀俄明州拉勒米的怀俄明大学的本科生研究体验(REU)站点奖，支持在2024-2026年夏季对10名学生进行为期10周的培训。在这个由化学系资助的项目中，参与者将从事合作研究项目，重点是分析化学、可持续发展和可再生能源。学生还将参加职业发展和道德培训计划，重点是科学交流和为研究生院或工业职业生涯做准备。这个REU网站通过独立的研究项目、研讨会和系列研讨会扩大了对STEM的参与。参与者从怀俄明地区和邻近的州(MT、SD、NE、CO、UT和ID)的社区学院招募。学生将在化学研究小组中从事一系列与可再生能源、聚合物和生物化学相关的跨学科项目。实践研究将得到各种活动的补充，包括研讨会、专业发展系列，以及前往国家实验室(国家可再生能源实验室(NREL)和爱达荷州国家实验室(INL))。专业发展系列还将包括关于科学写作、科学伦理、数据可视化和社交媒体管理的研讨会。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。
