REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Chemistry & Biochemistry

该奖项由化学学部（CHE）与生物基础设施学部（DBI）共同资助，支持2008-2010年夏季在加州州立大学洛杉矶分校（CSULA）成功更新本科生研究经验（REU）站点。该网站将由CSULA化学和生物化学系的Scott Nickolaisen负责。该项目将为10名本科生提供为期10周的分析、无机、有机、物理、环境和生物化学领域的研究经验。这个REU网站的主要目标是为社区大学的学生提供一个全面的研究经验，他们很少，如果有的话，之前接触过研究活动。所有被选中参加该项目的学生都将是在洛杉矶盆地公立社区大学学习二年级化学课程的社区大学生。在为期十周的项目中，将举办可选的研讨会，内容包括伦理、申请研究生院、SciFinder学者培训以及阅读科学文献的培训。在项目结束时，CSULA化学与生物化学系将举办一个研究研讨会，每位REU参与者将展示他们的研究成果。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) with co-funding from the Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI) supports the renewal of a successful Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at California State University Los Angeles (CSULA) for the summers of 2008-2010. The site will be directed by Scott Nickolaisen from the Department Chemistry and Biochemistry at CSULA. This program will provide ten undergraduate students with research experience for 10-weeks in the areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, environmental, and biochemistry. The primary objective of this REU site is to provide a comprehensive research experience for community college students who have had little, if any, prior exposure to research activities. All students selected to participate in the program will be community college students who are in second year chemistry classes in public community colleges in the Los Angeles Basin. Optional workshops will be held through out the ten week program, that cover ethics, applying to graduate school, SciFinder scholar training, and training in reading scientific literature. A research symposium will be hosted by the CSULA Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the completion of the program where each REU participant will present their research findings.
