This award from the Division of Chemistry at the National Science Foundation supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site led by Professors Elon A. Ison and Elena Jakubikova at North Carolina State University (NCSU). The primary focus of this REU site is to expose students from primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) to one of many possible independent research topics that combine experimental techniques and computational methods. At the same time, students are enabled to make more informed career and graduate or professional school choices. Upon program completion, students are better prepared to achieve a high level of success in their chosen pathways. Recruiting efforts include a series of strategies to recruit students from underrepresented groups, women, and first generation college students primarily in the Southeast and Middle Atlantic region, as well as from the University of Puerto Rico. Recent advances in computing have enabled computational methods to become an important tool for experimental groups, yet many undergraduates are not positioned to take advantage of this valuable resource. This site is designed to take advantage of the computational facilities at NCSU. The students are engaged in projects that utilize computational methods to support, complement, and ultimately drive experimental research. Students are exposed to career opportunities in non-academic settings in the Research Triangle Park area. They also actively participate in social and professional activities provided on campus to encourage interactions with other undergraduates and REU programs at NCSU. In addition, there is component that involves the training of local high school teachers.

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会化学部颁发，用于支持由北卡罗来纳州立大学 (NCSU) 教授 Elon A. Ison 和 Elena Jakubikova 领导的本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。该 REU 网站的主要重点是让主要来自本科院校 (PUI) 的学生接触到许多可能的独立研究主题之一，这些主题结合了实验技术和计算方法。 同时，学生能够做出更明智的职业和研究生或专业学校选择。课程完成后，学生可以更好地准备在自己选择的道路上取得高水平的成功。招生工作包括一系列战略，主要从东南和中大西洋地区以及波多黎各大学招募来自代表性不足的群体、女性和第一代大学生的学生。计算领域的最新进展使计算方法成为实验小组的重要工具，但许多本科生无法利用这一宝贵资源。该站点旨在利用北卡罗来纳州立大学的计算设施。 学生们参与的项目利用计算方法来支持、补充并最终推动实验研究。学生可以在三角研究园地区的非学术环境中获得就业机会。他们还积极参与校园内提供的社交和专业活动，以鼓励与北卡罗来纳州立大学其他本科生和 REU 项目的互动。此外，还有一个部分涉及当地高中教师的培训。
