This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site led by Andrew Greenberg at the University of Wisconsin - Madison for three summers, commencing in 2010. The site will support ten students per summer in a ten week program. The research projects focus on chemical research applied to problems in renewable energy. Sample projects include: (1) synthesis and study of nanowire based photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical materials made from earth-abundant materials; (2) the synthesis and study of surface-tethered metal complexes for electrocatalytic oxidation of water; (3) the development of new kinds of polymeric materials for energy applications (fuel storage, ion conductors, etc.); (4) the template assembly of anisometric nanorods for solar energy collection; and (5) the development of nanostructured materials for energy applications. In addition to conducting research during the summer, the students participating in this program will participate in a number of professional development activities. In addition, they will be encouraged to participate in mentoring of middle school students taking part in the Institute for Chemical Education Chemistry Camp. Undergraduate research students will be recruited nationally, and the site will fund no students from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Young scientists need exposure to modern research methods and tools as part of their training. This REU site aims to provide cutting-edge research training in the chemical sciences to a large number of students who might not otherwise have this opportunity. The research projects are in areas of chemistry that will have an impact in the areas of energy and sustainability. The diverse student cohort participating in research at this site will be well-prepared for graduate school, and eventual employment as part of the country's technical workforce.

化学系（CHE）的奖项支持由安德鲁·格林伯格（Andrew Greenberg）在威斯康星大学 - 麦迪逊大学（Madison）举行的三个夏季的本科生（REU）网站的研究经验，该网站将于2010年开始。该网站将在为期10周的计划中为十个学生提供支持。 研究项目着重于适用于可再生能源问题的化学研究。 示例项目包括：（1）基于纳米线的光伏和光电化学材料的合成和研究； （2）表面管道金属复合物的合成和研究用于水的电催化氧化； （3）开发用于能源应用的新型聚合物材料（燃料存储，离子导体等）； （4）用于太阳能收集的轴心纳米棒的模板组件； （5）开发用于能源应用的纳米结构材料。 除了在夏季进行研究外，参加该计划的学生还将参加许多专业发展活动。 此外，还将鼓励他们参加参与化学教育化学研究所的中学学生的指导。 本科生将在全国范围内招募本科生，该网站将不资助威斯康星大学麦迪逊大学的学生。 年轻的科学家需要接触现代研究方法和工具，作为他们培训的一部分。 此REU网站旨在为许多可能没有这个机会的学生提供化学科学的尖端研究培训。 研究项目位于化学领域，将对能源和可持续性领域产生影响。 参与该网站研究的多元化学生队列将为研究生院做好准备，并最终作为该国技术劳动力的一部分就业。
