This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Pittsburgh (UP), where a previous REU site was funded for 1997-1999. Joseph Grabowski is the site's Program Director. At least sixteen faculty will be available to serve as REU student mentors. During the award period (2001-2003), ten students will participate in a ten-week program each summer. UP has chosen to replace the more traditional divisions of Chemistry (organic, physical, analytical, inorganic, biochemical) with a more integrated Chemistry world in which active researchers Make, Model, or Measure chemical properties or processes. Therefore the focus of their REU site will be on the area of "Measuring." Students will be recruited nationally and special linkages are being developed with several HBCUs. Each student participant will be paired with a graduate student or postdoctoral mentor within the chosen research group to ensure timely answers to questions and to benefit from their advice when necessary. This is in addition to a close interaction each student will have with his/her faculty mentor. Tutorials designed to demonstrate the range of measurements necessary for a technologically advancing society will be held throughout the summer program. Near the end of the program, students will participate in a regional poster presentation. The program will culminate in a public Chemistry Symposium in which each participant will give a 15-minute talk. Project evaluation will include an exit interview and a detailed end-of-the-program participant survey. Students will be tracked and surveyed for several years following the program.

该化学部奖支持匹兹堡大学（UP）的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验，该地点以前的REU网站于1997 - 1999年获得资助。 Joseph Grabowski是该网站的计划总监。至少有16位教师可以担任REU学生导师。 在奖项期（2001- 2003年）期间，每年夏天将参加十周的计划。 UP选择替代更传统的化学（有机，物理，分析，无机，生物化学）的划分，并使用更集成的化学世界，在该世界中，活跃的研究人员在其中制造，模型或测量化学性质或过程。 因此，他们的REU站点的重点将放在“测量”领域。将在全国范围内招募学生，并通过多个HBCU建立特殊的联系。 每个学生参与者将与所选研究小组中的研究生或博士后导师配对，以确保及时回答问题并在必要时从他们的建议中受益。 这是每个学生将与他/她的教师导师进行紧密互动的补充。旨在证明在整个夏季计划中将举行技术前进社会所需的测量范围的教程。 在计划结束时，学生将参加区域海报演示文稿。 该计划将在公共化学研讨会上达到高潮，每个参与者将进行15分钟的演讲。项目评估将包括退出访谈和详细的计划参与者调查。 计划后的几年，将对学生进行跟踪和调查。
