REU Site: Collaborative Research in the Chemical Sciences at the University of Arizona

这一化学系奖项支持亚利桑那大学2005-2007年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。该项目的负责人是卡特里娜·米兰达，由共同的少年派多米尼克·麦格拉思协助。亚利桑那大学REU网站将培训27名主要是女性和少数族裔的化学研究本科生，同时鼓励这些学生进入科学职业生涯，增强科学劳动力。主要目标是让主要来自非博士授予机构的本科生接触到合作研究环境，以启动或发展他们追求科学事业的愿望。该项目将从非博士授予机构招收女性和代表性较低的少数族裔学生，主要来自西部各州，但不限于这些州。该计划的核心将是在教师导师和相关合作者的指导下进行独立研究。一系列的研讨会将帮助REU的学生做好开展研究的准备，启动关于科学和研究环境中的伦理问题的讨论和思考，并考虑在化学领域的职业机会。REU学生的海报研讨会以及其他校园暑期研究项目将在项目结束时举行。项目完成后，REU的学生将被鼓励在美国化学学会落基山地区会议(RMRM)等地区性会议上展示他们的研究成果。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Arizona for the summers of 2005-2007. The program director is Katrina Miranda who is assisted by co-PI Dominic McGrath. The University of Arizona REU site will train 27 primarily female and minority undergraduates in chemical research while encouraging these students to enter scientific careers, enhancing the scientific workforce. The primary objective is to expose undergraduates from primarily non-Ph.D. granting institutions to collaborative research environments in order to initiate or develop their desire to pursue a career in the sciences. The program will recruit women and underrepresented minority students from non-Ph.D. granting institutions primarily, although not limited to, the western states. The core of the program will be independent research under a faculty mentor and associated collaborators. A series of seminars will help prepare the REU students to carry out research, to initiate discussion and thought about ethical issues in science and the research environment, and to consider career opportunities in chemistry. A poster symposium for the REU students as well as other on-campus summer research programs will be held at the conclusion of the program. After the completion of the program, the REU students will be encouraged to present their research at regional conferences such as the Rocky Mountain Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society (RMRM).
