REU Site: Chemistry at California State University, Fullerton

该奖项由化学部颁发，支持2007-2009年夏季在加州州立大学富勒顿分校（CSUF）的本科生研究经验（REU）项目。Maria C. Linder和Mark S. Filowitz是这个网站的负责人。十名学生将受益于密集的，为期十周的暑期研究经验，直接与教师在化学和生物化学的广泛实验项目上工作。该项目从地方和国立大学招收学生，包括社区大学和加州大学旧金山分校，以及代表性不足的群体。CSUF是一所西班牙裔大学，拥有美国最多样化的学生团体之一。每周关于科学写作、统计学、实验设计、伦理和选择研究生课程的研讨会都被纳入该计划。学生在研讨会和小组讨论中提出和讨论道德和环境问题。在夏季结束时，每个学生都要对他/她的工作进行口头和海报展示，并准备一份以期刊形式撰写的科学报告。该计划将使用各种工具进行评估，包括短期和长期的学生调查。

This award from the Chemistry Division supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at California State University-Fullerton (CSUF) for the summers of 2007-2009. Maria C. Linder and Mark S. Filowitz provide the leadership for this site. Ten students will benefit from intensive, ten-week summer research experiences by working directly with faculty members on a broad range of experimental projects in chemistry and biochemistry. The program recruits students from local and national colleges, including community colleges and CSUF, and from underrepresented groups. CSUF, a Hispanic institution, has one of the most diverse student bodies in the United States. Weekly workshops on scientific writing, statistics, experimental design, ethics and selecting graduate programs are incorporated into the program. Ethical and environmental issues are presented and discussed by the students in seminars and panel discussions. At the end of the summer, each student makes an oral and a poster presentation of his/her work, and prepares a scientific report written in journal style. The program will be evaluated using a variety of instruments, including both short and long-term student surveys.
