REU: Research Experiences for Undergraduates and Teachers in Functional and Nanostructured Materials at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez

位于马亚圭斯的波多黎各大学的REU奖每年将支持9名本科生和2名教师开展功能和纳米结构材料的研究。该网站由国防部与美国国家科学基金会REU计划合作提供支持，是美国国家科学基金会资助的波多黎各大学材料研究和教育合作计划(PREM)的一部分(0351449)。本科生将在波多黎各和美国各地招生，重点是历史上的黑人学院和大学以及西班牙裔服务机构。教师将从波多黎各各地的高中招聘。除了在教师导师的直接监督下进行独立研究外，一系列教育研讨会还将提供负责任的行为和研究传播方面的培训。最后，参与者将通过波多黎各各地的周末社会和文化活动，沉浸在独特的拉美裔美国人的历史和文化环境中。

The REU award for a site at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, will support 9 undergraduate students and 2 teachers each year carrying out research on Functional and Nanostructured Materials. The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU Program and is part of the NSF funded Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) Program at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez (DMR 0351449). Undergraduates will be recruited throughout Puerto Rico and the U.S., with emphasis in Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions. Teachers will be recruited from High Schools throughout Puerto Rico. In addition to carrying out independent research under the direct supervision of the faculty mentors, a series of educational seminars will provide training on responsible conduct and dissemination of research. Finally, participants will be immersed in a unique Hispanic-American historical and cultural environment through weekend social and cultural activities throughout Puerto Rico.
