REU Site: Research Experience in Urban Environmental Biogeochemistry at Towson University

这一奖项由化学部(CHE)颁发，生物基础设施部(DBI)和地球科学部(EAR)共同出资，用于支持Towson大学2008-2010年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。该方案包括一个伦理部分，由社会和经济科学司(SES)资助。该项目将由Towson大学化学系的Ryan Casey指导和管理。该网站将为7名本科生提供为期10周的城市环境生物地球化学跨学科领域的研究经验。所有七名学生都将得到美国国家科学基金会的资助。目标学生将培养化学、生物、地质、环境科学或其他相关领域的大三和大四学生。该计划的主要重点将是发展参与者的研究技能。学生还将被要求参加旨在建立所需技能集的活动，以讨论、展示和记录他们项目的结果。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE), with cofunding from the Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI), and the Division of Earth Sciences (EAR) supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Towson University for the summers of 2008-2010. This program includes an ethics component which is funded through the Division of Social and Economic Sciences (SES). The program will be directed and managed by Ryan Casey of the Department of Chemistry at Towson University. This site will provide seven undergraduate students with research experience for 10-weeks in the cross-disciplinary area of urban environmental biogeochemistry. All seven students will be supported with NSF funds. Targeted students will be raising juniors and seniors who are majoring in Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Environmental Science or other related areas. The primary focus of the program will be the development of the participants' research skills. Students will also be required to participate in activities designed to build the skill sets needed to discuss, present, and write up the results of their projects.
