REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the University of Cincinnati

辛辛那提大学的Anna Gudmundsdottir、William Connick教授及其同事主持了这个网站，该网站由美国国家科学基金会化学部REU网站计划资助。该网站每年夏天为10名学生提供10周的时间，在一个刺激、包容的研究环境中进行研究。学生成为团队中不可或缺的一部分，在与可持续和健康相关的化学广泛相关的领域开展前沿研究。研究有助于促进国民健康，建设可持续发展的国家。学生与参与的教师及其研究小组一起进行的研究项目，计划在十周内取得切实成果，但足够开放，可以出现新的研究挑战。每个学生都有机会为科学知识做出贡献，包括在适当的科学会议上发表论文和演讲。在辛辛那提500英里以内的主要本科院校（PUIs）的学生是招聘的主要目标群体。在地区历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）中，特别注重招收少数民族学生。通过一系列的教育和专业发展活动，REU的学生有机会成为年轻的专业科学家和研究人员。这些活动为REU的学生做好准备，使他们成为见多识广、知识渊博的专业人士，对他们面前的挑战和机遇有清晰的认识。注重少数族裔的招聘，再加上HBCU的一名教员参与该项目，扩大并加强了工作场所中未被充分代表的少数族裔群体。弱势学生的进步具有广泛的社会影响，这与研究成果的积极影响相辅相成。与辛辛那提大学的其他活动合作，波尔多大学的学生在校园里向REU学生展示国际合作。

Professors Anna Gudmundsdottir, William Connick, and colleagues at the University of Cincinnati host this site funded by REU Sites Program of the NSF Division of Chemistry. The site supports 10 students for ten weeks each summer to conduct research in a stimulating, inclusive research environment. Students become an integral part of the teams that carry out cutting-edge research in fields broadly related to sustainable and health related chemistry. The research contributes towards advancing the national health and building a sustainable nation. The research projects conducted by students in conjunction with the participating faculty members and their research groups, are planned in such a way as to permit tangible accomplishments in a ten-week period, yet are sufficiently open-ended that fresh research challenges arise. Each student has the opportunity to contribute to scientific knowledge, including refereed publication and presentation at an appropriate scientific meeting. Students at predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs) within 500 miles of Cincinnati are the primary target group for recruiting. There is a special focus on recruitment of minority students at regional historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The REU students have opportunities to develop as young professional scientists and researchers through a series of educational and professional development activities. These activities prepare the REU students to enter the pipeline as informed, knowledgeable professionals with a clear understanding of the challenges and opportunities before them. A focus on minority recruiting, combined with the involvement of a faculty member from an HBCU in the program, expands and strengthens the pool of underrepresented minorities in the workplace. Advancement of underrepresented students has a broad societal impact that is complemented by the positive effects of the research outcomes. In partnership with other activities at the University of Cincinnati, students from the University of Bordeaux are on campus expose the REU students to international collaboration.
