Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the Indiana University Bloomington

这个化学系奖项支持印第安纳大学的一个新的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。史蒂文·维特斯托克是该网站的项目总监，丹尼斯·彼得斯是联合项目总监。大约有30名教师将担任REU的学生导师。在颁奖期间(2001-2003)，每年暑假将有十名学生参加为期十周的计划。招聘将通过在邻近地理区域的较小学院的教职员工联系进行，包括芝加哥、辛辛那提、底特律、路易斯维尔和密尔沃基等城市中心。此外，少数族裔的招聘工作将通过克拉克亚特兰大大学、莫尔豪斯学院、新墨西哥州立大学、斯佩尔曼学院、北卡罗来纳大学彭布罗克分校和路易斯安那州泽维尔大学的现有联系人进行。学生的研究项目包括分析化学、生物化学、无机化学、有机化学和物理化学。夏季活动安排包括科学伦理和化学信息方面的课程。计划参观当地的一家化工企业。暑期计划结束时，学生们将参加一个小型研讨会海报演示，并以期刊文章的形式提交一份最终研究报告。在项目结束时，每个学生参与者都将完成一份调查。将通过电子邮件和监听服务系统建立网络系统，以跟踪学生离开项目后的情况。

This Chemistry Division award supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Indiana University. Steven Wietstock is the site's Program Director; Dennis Peters is the Co-Program Director. Approximately thirty faculty will be available to serve as REU student mentors. During the award period (2001-2003), each summer ten students will participate in a ten-week program. Recruitment will be via faculty contacts at smaller colleges in the immediate geographic area, including the urban centers of Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Louisville and Milwaukee. In addition, minority recruitment efforts will be directed through existing contacts at Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, New Mexico State University, Spelman College, University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and Xavier University of Louisiana. Student research projects will be available in analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry. Included in the summer schedule of activities are classes on ethics in science and chemical information. A visit to a local chemical industry is planned. The summer program will conclude with the students participating in a mini-symposium poster presentation and submitting a final research report in the style of a journal article. A survey at the end of the program will be completed by each of the student participants. A networking system will be established through e-mail and listserve systems to keep track of the students after they leave the program.
