This joint Chemistry Division, Division of Engineering Education and Centers, and Office of Multidisciplinary Activities award supports the continuation of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Virginia Commonwealth University. Suzanne Ruder is the site's Program Director and Sally Hunnicutt is the Co-Program Director. Sixteen faculty members from the Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering will serve as REU student mentors. Over the award period (2002-2004), eleven students will be supported each summer in a ten-week program and five teachers in a seven-week program. The students are drawn mostly from regional colleges, where research opportunities are generally not available. Recruitment approaches similar to those in the past, will be used. These have been successful with recruiting minorities into their REU program at the level of 40%. The teachers that are recruited are mostly from the Richmond Public School system. Students and teachers have a wide selection of research projects from which to select, that are divided into the three areas of synthesis, analysis, and modeling. Throughout the program there are research meetings, workshops, and seminars. At the halfway point the students and teachers give an oral presentation on the progress of their research. At the close of the program participants present their research results at a final symposium. For assessment of the program all participants and research mentors complete evaluation forms and students are tracked after their departure.

该联合化学部，工程教育和中心部和多学科活动奖的办公室支持弗吉尼亚州英联邦大学的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验。 Suzanne Ruder是该网站的计划总监，Sally Hunnicutt是联合计划主任。化学和化学工程部门的16名教职员工将担任REU学生导师。 在奖项期（2002- 2004年）中，每年夏天将在一个为期十周的计划中为11名学生提供支持，并在一个为期7周的课程中为5名老师提供支持。 这些学生主要来自区域学院，那里通常没有研究机会。 将使用与过去类似的招聘方法。 这些已经成功地将少数民族招募到其REU计划的水平为40％。 被招募的老师主要来自里士满公立学校系统。 学生和老师有许多可以从中选择的研究项目，分为综合，分析和建模的三个领域。 在整个计划中，都有研究会议，研讨会和研讨会。 在中途，学生和老师就他们的研究进展进行了口头介绍。 在计划结束时，参与者在最后的研讨会上介绍了他们的研究结果。 为了评估该计划，所有参与者和研究导师都会在离开后完成评估表和学生。
