REU Site: Collaborative Research in the Chemical Sciences at the University of Arizona

化学部门奖支持2009-2011年夏季亚利桑那大学本科生研究经验（REU）站点。该网站的重点是让本科生从主要不授予博士学位的机构接触到合作研究环境，以启动或发展追求科学事业的愿望。该网站由项目主任卡特里娜·米兰达协调，并由联合pi多米尼克·麦格拉思协助，两人都来自化学系。化学科学的繁荣源于不同学科和分支学科的研究人员之间的思想交流。合作的环境是一个令人兴奋的气氛，将灌输给学生的享受研究和对化学的热情。该网站将主要从提供有限研究机会的机构中招募女性和未被充分代表的少数族裔物理科学学生。这些学生将受益于各种各样的研究和与研究相关的活动，并将被鼓励从事化学方面的职业。该计划的核心将是独立研究，辅以一系列研讨会，帮助REU学生进行研究，发起关于科学和研究环境中的伦理问题的思考和讨论，并考虑化学领域的职业机会。在项目结束时，将为REU学生举办海报研讨会以及其他校园暑期研究项目。项目结束后，REU的学生将被鼓励在地区或国家会议上展示他们的研究成果。

The Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Arizona for the summers of 2009-2011. The site is focused on exposing undergraduates from predominantly non-PhD granting institutions to collaborative research environments in order to initiate or develop aspirations to pursue scientific careers. The site is coordinated by program director Katrina Miranda and assisted by co-PI Dominic McGrath, both of the Chemistry Department. The chemical sciences thrive on the sharing of ideas among researchers from various disciplines and sub-disciplines. The collaborative environment is an exciting atmosphere that will instill in students the enjoyment of research and an enthusiasm for chemistry. The site will recruit primarily women and underrepresented minority physical science students from institutions that offer limited research opportunities. These students will benefit from the variety of research and research-related activities and will be encouraged to pursue careers in chemistry. The core of the program will be independent research with a faculty mentor supplemented by a series of workshops that will help prepare the REU students to perform research, to initiate thought and discussion about ethical issues in science and the research environment, and to consider career opportunities in chemistry. A poster symposium for the REU students as well as other on-campus summer research programs will be held at the conclusion of the program. After the program, the REU students will be encouraged to present their research at regional or national conferences.
