Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the University of California, Santa Cruz

这一奖项由化学a分部支持加州大学圣克鲁斯分校2006-2008年夏季本科生研究经验(REU)网站。该项目的负责人是菲利普·克鲁斯，他得到了派·西奥多·霍尔曼的协助。每年将有八名学生从事前沿研究，这些研究被分成四组：生物化学、生物无机化学、有机与生物有机化学和物理与物理生物化学。参与者将经历科学发现的过程--从图书馆到实验室。运用第一原理进行研究设计的经验将有助于学生在发展必要的实验室和批判性推理能力的同时，实现智力增长。计划中的顶峰计划活动延续了边做边学的主题，因为每个学生都必须培养以书面和口头形式解释和交流科学成果的能力。学生将来自非研究型学院和大学，那里的暑期研究机会有限或根本不存在。在社会、行为和经济科学与社会计划指导下的NSF伦理和价值研究计划为本网站的伦理部分提供支持。

This award by the Chemistry a Division supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of California Santa Cruz for the summers of 2006-2008. The program director is Phillip Crews who is assisted by co-PI Theodore Holman. Eight students each year will do cutting-edge research organized into four clusters: Biochemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Organic & Bioorganic Chemistry, and Physical & Physical Biochemistry. Participants will go through the process of science discovery - from the library, to the laboratory. The experience of using first principles to engage in research design will help the students to grow intellectually while developing essential laboratory and critical reasoning abilities. Capstone program activities planned continue this theme of learning through doing, as each student must develop the ability to interpret and communicate scientific results in both written and oral form. Students will be drawn from non-research colleges and universities where summer research opportunities are limited or non-existent. The NSF Ethics and Value Studies Program under the Directorate of Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Science and Society Program is providing support for the ethical component of this site.
