Research in the Chemical Sciences for Undergraduates at Louisiana State University

该奖项为路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）提供资金，用于支持一个为期三年的化学科学REU站点，由Steven F. Watkins博士和Kerry M. Dooley博士指导。这是一个成功的化学科学夏季研究基地的更新，将培养42名本科生（每年14名）。这个为期九周的暑期项目是由路易斯安那州立大学的化学工程师、化学家和生物化学家共同努力的，它为来自美国各地的各种各样的学生提供了一个机会，让他们以有意义的方式为资金充足、活跃的研究项目做出贡献。REU网站建立在过去成就的基础上，最值得注意的是，超过60%的实习生选择进入化学工程或密切相关学科的顶级研究生院。该计划特别成功地利用了行业的区域资源，并通过小型提案、最终报告、口头陈述和海报强调书面和口头沟通技巧。

This award provides funding to Louisiana State University (LSU) for the support of a three-year, REU Site in the Chemical Sciences, under the direction of Dr. Steven F. Watkins and Dr. Kerry M. Dooley. This is a renewal of a successful site for summer research in the chemical sciences and will result in the training of 42 undergraduate students (14 per year). The nine-week summer program is a joint effort by chemical engineers, chemists, and biochemists at LSU and offers a diverse cadre of students, who are drawn from all parts of the U.S., the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way to well-funded, active research projects. The REU site builds on past achievements, most notably that more than sixty percent of its interns haven chosen to attend top graduate schools in chemical engineering or a closely related discipline. The program is particularly successful in leveraging regional resources from industry and its emphasis on written and verbal communications skills through mini-proposals, final reports, oral presentations and posters.
