This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE), with co-funding from the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE), supports a new international Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site between the University of Florida (UF) and South America for the summers of 2008-2010. The U.S. program will be under the overall direction of Randolph Duran of the University of Florida (UF) and the South American program under the overall direction of Jose Manuel Riveros of the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. Duran will be assisted by Adrian Roitberg of UF in the administration and coordination of the U.S. students. Fifteen U.S. undergraduates each summer will travel to either Brazil or Argentina to participate in a twelve week chemistry research program. In Argentina, U.S. students will integrate into research laboratories at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) and in Brazil, U.S. students will integrate into research laboratories at one of three locations: the University of Sao Paulo (USP); Sao Paulo State University (UNESP); or the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). This program is set up as a bilateral exchange and through a consortium of South American funding, an equivalent number of Brazilian and Argentinian students will be brought to the U.S. over the 12 week period and fully integrated into domestic REU sites. The U.S. students will each spend the vast majority of their summer in 'science immersion' distributed in groups of 2-4 students per institution. The main scientific focus of the participating laboratories is chemistry or molecular biodiversity. A three-day weekend post-REU meeting and poster session each October after the program ends will be held at the Florida Museum of Natural History.

该奖项由化学系 (CHE) 颁发，并由国际科学与工程办公室 (OISE) 共同资助，支持佛罗里达大学 (UF) 和南美洲之间新的国际本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站2008-2010 年夏季。美国项目将由佛罗里达大学 (UF) 的 Randolph Duran 总体指导，南美项目将由巴西圣保罗大学的 Jose Manuel Riveros 总体指导。 杜兰将得到佛罗里达大学阿德里安·罗伊特伯格 (Adrian Roitberg) 的协助，负责美国学生的管理和协调。 每年夏天，十五名美国本科生将前往巴西或阿根廷参加为期十二周的化学研究项目。 在阿根廷，美国学生将融入布宜诺斯艾利斯大学 (UBA) 的研究实验室；在巴西，美国学生将融入以下三个地点之一的研究实验室：圣保罗大学 (USP)；圣保罗州立大学（UNESP）；或坎皮纳斯州立大学 (UNICAMP)。 该项目是一项双边交流项目，通过南美资助财团，将在 12 周内将同等数量的巴西和阿根廷学生带到美国，并完全融入国内 REU 站点。 美国学生将在暑假的大部分时间里进行“科学沉浸”，每个机构分为 2 至 4 名学生组成的小组。 参与实验室的主要科学重点是化学或分子生物多样性。 每年 10 月项目结束后，为期三天的 REU 周末会议和海报会议将在佛罗里达自然历史博物馆举行。
