US - Argentina, Brazil, Chile: Planning Visit to Extend Chemistry REU Opportunities to South America 05/01/07 - 05/12/07

这是一份向巴西、阿根廷和智利提供规划赠款的提案，用于规划南美洲化学领域的REU网站。 PI和CO-PI将访问巴西圣保罗大学（USP），智利教皇大学（PUC）和阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯大学（乌巴），并将与外国合作者一起访问地区和国家资助机构。 规划访问将确定更多的合作者，并计划与国际REU站点的最佳运营相关的重要后勤方面，例如住房。最好的一个或两个国家将被选为拟议的REU计划。PI和CO-PI还将为南美大学生提供资助机会，以便他们到美国进行互访。 该奖项由化学部和国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）共同资助。

This is a proposal for a planning grant to Brazil, Argentina, and Chile to plan a South American REU site in chemistry. The PI and CO-PI's will visit the University of Sao Paulo-Brazil (USP), Papal University Catolica of Chile (PUC), and the University of Buenos Aires -Argentina (UBA) and will also visit the regional and national funding agencies with foreign collaborators. The planning visit will identify additional collaborators and plan important logistical aspects, such as housing, associated with optimal operations of an international REU site. The best one or two countries will be selected for the proposed REU program. The PI and CO-PI's will also identify funding opportunities for South American undergraduates to make reciprocal visits to the US. This award is being jointly funded by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE).
