Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Chemistry at the University of Connecticut

该化学奖支持康涅狄格大学2004-2006年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 导演是Amy R。豪厄尔协助共同PI，罗伯特K。博恩 十名学生，包括两名来自中央康涅狄格州立大学的学生将参加一个为期十周的项目。 学生主要来自区域（新英格兰，纽约州，新泽西州，宾夕法尼亚州）非博士授予机构，少数民族服务机构和女子学院将有针对性的参与。来自康涅狄格大学和中央康涅狄格州立大学的化学教师将担任导师。 研究项目主要集中在化学方面（例如，有机、生物有机、物理、化学物理、无机、生物无机、生物、分析、仪器、聚合物）。 该计划将通过化学数据库，职业，道德，交流结果和道德研讨会进行补充。 该计划的高潮是学生的口头报告和海报研讨会。

This chemistry award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Connecticut for the summers of 2004-2006. The program director is Amy R. Howell assisted by co-PI, Robert K. Bohn. Ten students, including two students from Central Connecticut State University will participate in a ten-week program. Students primarily from regional (New England, NY, NJ, PA) non-PhD granting institutions, minority serving institutions and women-only colleges will be targeted for participation. Chemistry faculty from the University of Connecticut and Central Connecticut State University will serve as mentors. Research projects are broadly chemical in focus (for ex. organic, bioorganic, physical, chemical physics, inorganic, bioinorganic, biological, analytical, instrumentation, polymer). The program will be supplemented by seminars on chemical databases, careers, ethics, communicating results and ethics. The program culminates in student oral presentations and a poster symposium.
