URC: Chemical Research in Your World

化学部的奖项支持本科研究中心（URC）规划补助金。 PI为John J. Stezowski，由共同PI T.阿德里安乔治。 规划活动将建立一个本科生研究中心，参与者来自区域学院和大学。 学生，沿着教师导师从他们的家乡机构，将与内布拉斯加大学-林肯（UNL）教师导师进行匹配，共同感兴趣的研究项目。 URC的机会将在UNL举行的为期2天的研讨会期间提交给参与教师。 项目将侧重于与社会相关的主题，重点是材料和生物化学系统。 提高学生和教师在国内机构进行有意义的研究的可能性将通过合作和通过设备采购支持改善现场设施来实现。 在规划阶段，PI将与参与学校的教师进行互动，促进合作项目的开发，并与区域机构的教师合作，以确定适当的设备要求。 讲习班将是培养兴趣和开展合作的一项关键活动。

The award from the Chemistry Division supports an Undergraduate Research Centers (URC) planning grant. The PI is John J. Stezowski, assisted by co-PI, T. Adrian George. The planning activities will develop an Undergraduate Research Center with participants from regional colleges and universities. Students, along with faculty mentors from their home institutions, will be matched with University of Nebraska -Lincoln (UNL) faculty mentors to undertake research projects of mutual interest. The URC opportunities will be presented to participating faculty during a 2-day workshop held at UNL. Projects will be focused on topics relevant to society with emphasis on materials and biochemical systems. Improving the possibilities for meaningful research for students and faculty at home institutions will be accomplished through the collaborations and by improving their on site facilities with equipment procurement support. In the planning phase, the PI will develop the interactions with faculty at participating schools, facilitate the development of collaborative projects, and work with the faculty from regional institutions to determine appropriate equipment requests. The workshop will be a key activity in developing interest and collaborations.
