REU Site: Stony Brook University Chemistry REU in Spectroscopy, Biological Chemistry and Synthesis (SBS)

本科生（REU）的研究经验网站奖给斯托尼布鲁克大学，位于纽约州斯托尼布鲁克，支持10名学生在2021年至2023年的夏天10周的培训。在这个程序，由化学部的支持下，学生将追求教师指导的研究项目，提供适用于广泛的化学专业的技术经验。学生在研究集群中工作，旨在提高他们的科学交流技能，并使他们能够与学者社区接触。该方案的培训还包括针对总体职业发展、道德、简历建设和网络的专业发展活动。该计划旨在增加学生毕业和继续在化学科学高级学位的多样性。该计划的参与者探索三个基础研究领域之一：光谱学，生物化学或合成。学生接受与他们的研究项目相关的技能培训，这些项目可能包括有机合成，固态合成，细胞培养和无菌技术的使用，高分辨率NMR，质谱，荧光显微镜和拉曼光谱。专业发展系列侧重于职业发展和科学交流，包括一个即兴戏剧研讨会，重点是提炼一个人的科学信息和夏末海报会议。该计划旨在通过从主要的本科院校（包括五个合作伙伴西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）和新兴HSI）招募代表性不足的少数族裔学生和女性，实现STEM劳动力的多元化。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响力审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Stony Brook University, located in Stony Brook, NY, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2021-2023. In this program, supported by the Chemistry Division, students will pursue faculty-mentored research projects that provide technical experience applicable to a broad range of chemical professions. Students work in research clusters, which is designed to enhance their science communication skills and allow them to engage with a community of scholars. Training in this program also includes professional development activities targeting overall career development, ethics, resume-building and networking. This program aims to increase the diversity of students graduating and going on to advanced degrees in the chemical sciences.Participants in this program explore one of three fundamental research areas: spectroscopy, biological chemistry, or synthesis. Students are trained in skills relevant to their research projects which may include organic synthesis, solid state synthesis, cell culture and use of sterile technique, high resolution NMR, mass spectrometry, fluorescence microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The professional development series focuses on career development and science communication, including an improvisational theater workshop focused upon distilling one's scientific message and an end-of-summer poster session. This program aims to diversify the STEM workforce by recruiting underrepresented minority students and women from primarily undergraduate institutions, including five partner Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) and emerging HSIs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
