This REU site award to the University of Kansas, located in Lawrence, KS, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. At this REU site, funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, Professors David R. Benson, Mikhail V. Barybin, and colleagues engage students with interdisciplinary chemistry research projects, ranging from chemical biology to energy and nanoscience. Students also take part in a range of educational and professional development activities, which include training in the responsible conduct of research and panel discussions on the variety of career options available to chemists. The program serves the broader chemical sciences community by mentoring and training students from primarily undergraduate institutions across the nation, who otherwise have limited opportunities for research experiences, and by encouraging participation of women and members of traditionally underrepresented groups in the sciences, including students with disabilities.Participants select projects from six interdisciplinary research areas ranging from chemical biology, microfluidics and mass spectrometry to materials chemistry, energy and nanoscience to lasers, spectroscopy and molecular dynamics. Examples of projects include the design of organometallic materials relevant to molecular- and opto-electronics, exploring the role of catalyst structure in production of renewable fuels, and development of separation-based sensors for understanding the origins of neurological disorders. Students benefit from the highly collaborative environment provided by the large KU chemical community, close interactions with faculty and graduate student (or postdoctoral) mentors, state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to communicate and disseminate their accomplishments in written and oral forms.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.

这项授予位于堪萨斯州劳伦斯市的堪萨斯大学的REU网站奖，在2020 - 2022年的夏季，支持10个学生的10周学生培训。在此REU地点，由数学和物理科学局的化学部资助，David R. Benson，Mikhail V. Barybin教授，同事和同事与跨学科化学研究项目与学生与学生与学生与能量生物学到能量和纳米的跨学科化学研究项目。学生还参加了一系列的教育和专业发展活动，其中包括在负责任的研究和小组讨论中就化学家提供的各种职业选择进行培训。 The program serves the broader chemical sciences community by mentoring and training students from primarily undergraduate institutions across the nation, who otherwise have limited opportunities for research experiences, and by encouraging participation of women and members of traditionally underrepresented groups in the sciences, including students with disabilities.Participants select projects from six interdisciplinary research areas ranging from chemical biology, microfluidics and mass spectrometry to materials chemistry, energy and激光，光谱和分子动力学的纳米科学。项目的例子包括设计与分子和光电相关的有机金属材料，探索催化剂结构在可再生燃料生产中的作用，以及开发基于分离的传感器以了解神经系统疾病的起源。学生从大型KU化学界提供的高度协作环境中受益，与教职员工和研究生（或博士后）导师，最先进的设施以及以书面和口头形式进行交流和分散成就的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估范围的范围进行了评估，并通过评估范围进行了评估和宽广的范围。
