REU Site: Multi-site, Multi-institutional International REU Program

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会化学部颁发，支持由卡罗莱纳大学格林斯博罗分校（UNCG）的特伦斯a .尼罗教授和佩内洛普J.派恩斯教授领导的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。REU项目名为“多地点、多机构国际REU项目”，将在英国巴斯大学、布里斯托尔大学和卡迪夫大学培训10名本科生，进行为期8周的暑期研究体验。参与者将在二年级和三年级之后招募，其中至少一半（50%）来自代表性不足的群体。在为学生提供一流的国际经验的同时，该项目将为学生，特别是来自较小机构的学生，提供在设备齐全的主要研究型大学进行合成化学前沿研究的机会。因此，多站点、多机构的REU站点将在英国的三个机构为来自美国的学生提供国际本科研究经验（IURE）。该奖项的广泛影响包括与REU网站支持的学生密切合作，在他们完成本科学位课程的过程中，在校园内外寻找更多的研究经验。将编写一份文件，总结这类方案取得成功所需的程序，并将在内部用于促进UNCG其他学科的类似方案。这些信息将提交给本科生研究理事会杂志发表，并在本科生研究组织的区域和国家会议上提出。

This award from the Division of Chemistry at the National Science Foundation supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) Site led by Professors Terence A. Nile and Penelope J. Pynes, both at the University of Carolina- Greensboro (UNCG). The REU Site entitled "Multi-site, Multi-institutional International REU Program" will train 10 undergraduate students for an 8 week summer research experiences at the Universities of Bath, Bristol and Cardiff in the United Kingdom (UK). The participants will be recruited after their sophomore and junior years with at least half (50%) from underrepresented groups. While providing students with a first class international experience, the program will give students, especially those from smaller institutions, the opportunity to undertake cutting edge research in synthetic chemistry at well-equipped major research universities. Thus, the multi-site, multi-institutional REU site will provide an international undergraduate research experience (IURE) for students from the US at three institutions in the UK.Broader Impacts of the award involves working closely with the students supported by the REU Site to find additional research experiences, both on and off their campuses, as they progress through their undergraduate degree programs. A document will be prepared that summarizes the procedures necessary for a successful program of this type and it will be used this internally to facilitate similar programs in other disciplines at UNCG. This information will be submitted for publication in the Council of Undergraduate Research journal and presented at regional and national meetings of undergraduate research organizations.
