REU Site: Photodynamics in Chemistry, Biology and Biochemistry

该化学部门奖支持南达科他州大学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。安德鲁·赛克斯（Andrew Sykes）是该网站的项目主管。来自生物系和化学系的六名教师将担任REU的学生导师。在奖励期间（2002-2004年），每年夏天将支持四名学生参加为期十周的项目。招生重点将针对地区本科院校，每年至少有一名美国原住民学生参加该项目。研究活动集中于光动力学。每周举行一次会议，学生们在会上展示他们的研究成果，在夏季结束时，学生们将提交书面报告并进行正式演讲。学生将向全国本科研究会议提交摘要。在项目结束时，学生和研究导师将各自完成一份评估表格。所有参与者都将被跟踪，直到他们完成本科教育。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of South Dakota. Andrew Sykes is the site's Program Director. Six faculty from the Departments of Biology and Chemistry will serve as REU student mentors. Over the award period (2002-2004), four students will be supported each summer in a ten-week program. The recruitment focus will be directed towards regional undergraduate institutions and a minimum of one student of Native American descent will participate in the program each year. The research activity focuses on photodynamics. Weekly meetings will be held, where students present their research and at the end of the summer students will submit written reports and make a formal presentations. Students will submit abstracts to the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. At the end of the program students and research mentors will each complete an evaluation form. All participants will be tracked until they complete their undergraduate educations.
