This award by the Chemistry Division supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University at Buffalo for the summers of 2009-2011. The program director is Janet Morrow and the co-director is Sarbajit Banerjee. Eight students will participate in a ten-week program by working with faculty members on chemistry projects relating to global sustainability including inorganic /organic materials for catalysis and energy related research, environmental analytical chemistry, medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. The program will recruit students from local and national colleges and universities, especially from primarily undergraduate institutions. In addition, recruiting efforts are focused on institutions with underrepresented groups including Puerto Rican institutions, colleges in the New York City area and institutions that participate in New York state LSAMP program. Students will attend weekly lectures and workshops on ethics, selection of graduate schools, careers, and research topics. Group activities to build a community of practice will include weekly research meetings with graduate student and faculty mentors, an oral presentation for the REU participants and mentors, and a poster presentation for students and faculty. In addition, there will be field trips to several chemical industry sites and research centers in Western New York to expose students to different careers in chemistry. Both formal and informal evaluations will be conducted with the help of an external evaluator, Rene Palmer, from St. John?s University.

该奖项由化学部颁发，用于支持布法罗大学 2009 年至 2011 年夏季的本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。 项目总监是 Janet Morrow，联合总监是 Sarbajit Banerjee。 八名学生将参加为期十周的项目，与教职员工合作开展与全球可持续发展相关的化学项目，包括用于催化和能源相关研究的无机/有机材料、环境分析化学、药物化学和化学生物学。 该计划将从地方和国家学院和大学招收学生，特别是主要是本科院校的学生。 此外，招聘工作重点关注代表性不足群体的机构，包括波多黎各机构、纽约市地区的学院以及参加纽约州 LSAMP 计划的机构。 学生将参加每周关于道德、研究生院选择、职业和研究主题的讲座和研讨会。 建立实践社区的小组活动将包括每周与研究生和教师导师举行的研究会议、为 REU 参与者和导师进行口头演示以及为学生和教师进行海报演示。 此外，还将对纽约西部的几个化学工业场所和研究中心进行实地考察，让学生接触化学领域的不同职业。 正式和非正式评估都将在圣约翰大学外部评估员雷内·帕尔默 (Rene Palmer) 的帮助下进行。
