REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at The University of Alabama

该化学部门奖支持阿拉巴马大学（UA） 2007-2009夏季本科生研究经验（REU）站点。项目主管约翰·文森特（John Vincent）将由联合负责人斯蒂芬·沃斯基（Stephen Woski）协助。学生将参与环境、材料和生物化学领域明确的跨学科项目，这些领域是亚利桑那大学化学系具有显著优势的领域。学生将接触到高水平的研究，获得先进的设备，并体验科学发现的兴奋。丰富的学生发展计划，包括两周一次的研究研讨会和探讨与化学研究有关的伦理问题的会议，将加强研究活动。学生将主要从研究设施有限的东南部本科院校招收，特别强调妇女和来自代表性不足群体的学生的参与。招聘过程将建立在亚利桑那大学化学系教员与地区hbcu教员之间正在发展的关系之上。

This Division of Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Alabama (UA) for the summers of 2007-2009. John Vincent, the program director, will be assisted by co-PI, Stephen Woski. Students will participate in well-defined interdisciplinary projects in environmental, materials, and biological chemistry, areas in which the UA Chemistry Department has significant strengths. Students will be exposed to high-level research, provided access to advanced equipment, and experience the excitement of scientific discovery. A rich program for student development, including bi-weekly research seminars and sessions exploring ethical issues pertinent to chemical research, will enhance the research activities. Students will be recruited primarily from Southeastern undergraduate institutions with limited research facilities, with a particular emphasis on the participation of women and students from underrepresented groups. The recruitment process will build on relationships being developed between UA chemistry faculty and faculty at regional HBCUs.
