项目摘要

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Duquesne University, located in Pittsburgh, PA, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. Funded by the Division of Chemistry in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate, the Duquesne REU site impacts the education and professional chemistry careers of undergraduates and faculty from Appalachian regional institutions with limited research infrastructure and/or from underrepresented populations. Alongside conducting research that integrates computational and experimental chemistry, students receive training that reinforces the scientific method, scientific writing and speaking, ethics, safety, and workshops on state-of-the-art instrumentation to complement their experimental research. Faculty establish meaningful, year-round, and long-term research collaborations driven by the need for academic productivity and excellence in undergraduate training. Taken together, this REU site promotes collaborative science while training the next generation of chemists.Student research projects include the synthesis of non-addictive analgesics driven by computational prediction; developing theory for asymmetric catalyst design; understanding the wear of protective organic thin films on metals; and studying electron transfer processes in copper complexes. This site also offers research support for PUI/HBCU/LSAMP faculty, who in turn directly impact students and learning environments at their home institutions. Ultimately students expand their professional exposure and network to make more informed career decisions and best prepare for graduate school, while faculty are empowered through meaningful and productive academic collaboration.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.

位于宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的杜肯大学获得本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站奖，支持 2020 年至 2022 年夏季对 10 名学生进行为期 10 周的培训。杜肯 REU 站点由数学和物理科学理事会化学部资助，影响着研究基础设施有限的阿巴拉契亚地区机构和/或代表性不足的人群的本科生和教师的教育和专业化学职业。除了进行计算化学和实验化学相结合的研究外，学生还接受强化科学方法、科学写作和演讲、伦理、安全以及最先进仪器研讨会的培训，以补充他们的实验研究。在学术生产力和卓越本科生培训的需求的推动下，教师们建立了有意义的、全年的、长期的研究合作。总而言之，这个 REU 网站在培训下一代化学家的同时促进了协作科学。学生研究项目包括由计算预测驱动的非成瘾性镇痛药的合成；发展不对称催化剂设计理论；了解金属上保护性有机薄膜的磨损；并研究铜配合物中的电子转移过程。该网站还为 PUI/HBCU/LSAMP 教员提供研究支持，而这些教员反过来又直接影响学生及其所在机构的学习环境。最终，学生扩大了他们的专业视野和网络，以做出更明智的职业决策，为研究生院做好最好的准备，而教师则通过有意义和富有成效的学术合作获得授权。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
