Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry and Biochemistry at California State University - Los Angeles

该化学部门奖支持加州州立大学洛杉矶分校本科生研究经验（REU）站点的延续。Scott Nickolaisen是该网站的项目主管。15名教师将担任REU学生导师。在奖励期间（2001-2003），每年夏天将支持10名学生参加为期10周的项目。招生工作的重点将放在洛杉矶地区公立社区大学招收的少数族裔学生的高度集中上。这些学生几乎没有接触过全面的研究经验。化学研究领域包括无机和有机合成、电子自旋共振、核磁共振、红外和激光光谱、酶动力学、植物遗传学、电化学、有机金属光化学、蛋白质分析、质谱分析、大气化学、脂质生物化学和毛细管电泳。在项目结束时，学生参与者将以海报形式向部门展示他们的研究成果，并准备一份关于他们研究项目的简短书面报告。项目结束后，学生将被跟踪评估他们的发展。

This Chemistry Division award supports the continuation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at California State University-Los Angeles. Scott Nickolaisen is the site's Program Director. Fifteen faculty will serve as REU student mentors. Over the award period (2001-2003), ten students will be supported each summer in a ten-week program. The focus of recruitment efforts will be on the very high concentration of minority students enrolled in regional public community colleges in the Los Angeles area. These students will have had very little, if any, exposure to a comprehensive research experience. The areas of chemical research include inorganic and organic synthesis, electron spin resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared and laser spectroscopy, enzyme kinetics, plant genetics, electrochemistry, organometallic photochemistry, protein assays, mass spectrometry, atmospheric chemistry, lipid biochemistry, and capillary electrophoresis. At the conclusion of the program, student participants will present their results to the department in a poster presentation and will prepare a short written report of their research project. Following the program, students will be tracked to evaluate their development.
