This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, located in Madison, WI, supports a total of 27 students for 10 weeks of professional development during the summers of 2020-2022. Funded by the Divisions of Chemistry and Materials Research in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, and led by Dr. Andrew Greenberg and Professor Robert Hamers, students engage in independent research projects focused on chemistry and materials applied to problems in renewable energy. Additionally, students participate in professional development workshops and seminars, including communication of science and engineering concepts. The diverse student cohort participating at this site are well-prepared for graduate school and eventual employment in the U.S. technical workforce.Through this project, students conduct individual research projects to develop new catalysts and materials for the conversion of light or chemical energy into usable electrical or mechanical energy. The program helps students to strengthen their written and oral communication skills through communication training, proposal presentations, mid-experience report writing, and poster presentations. To ensure proper mentoring and development of students, this project includes a mentoring workshop for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty working directly with the REU Program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在威斯康星州麦迪逊市威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校颁发的本科生（REU）现场奖项的这项研究经验，在2020 - 2022年的夏季，总共为27名学生提供了10周的专业发展。由数学和物理科学局的化学和材料研究部门资助，由安德鲁·格林伯格（Andrew Greenberg）博士和罗伯特·哈默斯（Robert Hamers）教授领导，学生从事专注于化学和材料的独立研究项目，这些研究项目适用于可再生能源问题。此外，学生还参加专业发展研讨会和研讨会，包括科学和工程概念的交流。参加该站点的多元化学生队列已为研究生院做好了充分的准备，并最终在美国技术人员中就业。通过该项目，学生进行了单个研究项目，以开发新的催化剂和材料，以将光或化学能源转化为可用的电气或机械能量。该计划通过沟通培训，建议介绍，体验报告写作和海报演示来帮助学生加强其书面和口头沟通技巧。为了确保学生的适当指导和发展学生，该项目包括针对研究生的指导研讨会，博士后研究员以及直接与REU计划合作的教职员工。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
