REU Site: Interdisciplinary Research at the Chemistry/Biology Interface for Undergraduates

该化学部门奖支持俄亥俄州立大学（OSU） 2007-2009夏季本科生研究经验（REU）站点。项目主管是乔纳森·帕奎特。该项目将从HBCUs、当地两年制大学和俄亥俄州立大学暑期研究机会项目（SROP）中招募不同群体的本科生。此外，该项目将针对那些在俄勒冈州立大学参加过研究的高中生或在当地高中就读的代表性不足的学生。这个为期十周的课程将向学生介绍化学-生物学-纳米技术界面的科学文化和思维方式。这些研究项目被设计成跨学科的、技术上可管理的、科学上有趣的，适合那些已经完成了两三年本科化学课程的学生。学生将参加有关图书馆使用、科学计算和核磁共振的研讨会。与会者还将参加以职业为中心的圆桌讨论和演讲，范围从研究到科学伦理，再到申请研究生院的过程。REU的参与者将撰写一份研究报告，并在部门海报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 Ohio State University (OSU) for the summers of 2007-2009. The program director is Jonathan Parquette. The program will recruit a diverse group of undergraduates from HBCUs, local two-year colleges, and from the Summer Research Opportunity Program (SROP) at Ohio State. In addition, the program will target underrepresented students who participated in research at OSU as high school students or attended local high schools. This ten-week program will introduce students to the culture and mindset of science at the chemistry-biology-nanotechnology interface. The research projects have been designed to be interdisciplinary, technically manageable, and scientifically interesting for students who have completed two or three years of undergraduate chemistry. Students will attend workshops on library use, scientific computing, and NMR. Participants also will participate in career-focused, roundtable discussions and presentations ranging from research to science ethics to the process of applying to graduate school. The REU participants will write a research report and present their results at a department poster session.
