This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Texas A&M University - Commerce, located in Commerce, TX, supports the training of nine community college students for 10 weeks per year in 2022-2024. This program, funded by the Division of Chemistry, uniquely addresses the needs of the Northeast Texas region and the neighboring areas with a focus on community college students, a large fraction of which are minority and first-generation college students. The REU site provides a wide variety research projects within the chemical sciences, alongside professional development training that develops students' communication skills and explores careers within the chemical sciences. Ultimately this site aims to develop a diverse "pipeline" for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) studies enrollment and training to produce a more inclusive and robust STEM workforce in the future.Research projects planned for this site span the field of chemistry, with examples including the development of synthetic receptors to sense or extract polyfluoroalkyl substances; the development of recyclable ionic liquid-supported organocatalysts; and the exploration of new approaches to biomass conversion. These topics represent critical research areas in the chemical sciences today and both the skills assimilated in these research studies and the knowledge gained from these pursuits are expected to bolster the national research endeavor in chemistry. The program includes early visits in the spring semester to match students with projects and to start the formation a close cohort. Close management of the summer program is supported by weekly oral presentations, weekly faculty mentor discussions, progress and final reports, and a final symposium, including both oral and poster presentations. In addition, three workshops are scheduled to improve students’ presentation and scientific writing skills and training in the important area of research ethics.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.

这项为德克萨斯农工大学的本科生（REU）网站奖（位于德克萨斯州社区）的研究经验支持了2022 - 2024年每年10周的九名社区大学生的培训。该计划由化学部门资助，独特地满足了东北得克萨斯州地区和邻近地区的需求，重点是社区大学生，其中很大一部分是少数群体，而REU网站则在化学科学中提供了各种多样性的研究项目，并在专业发展培训中提供了专业的发展培训，从而发展了学生在化学科学中的沟通能力和探索职业。最终，该网站旨在为STEM（科学，技术，工程和数学）研究的入学和培训开发一条不同的“管道”，以在将来生产出更具包容性和强大的STEM劳动力。研究该站点的研究项目涵盖了化学领域，其中包括示例，包括合成接收器的开发或提取多氟烷基化物质的开发；可回收离子液体支持的有机催化剂的发展；以及探索新方法的生物量转化方法。这些主题代表了当今化学科学的关键研究领域，以及这些研究中所吸收的技能以及从这些追求中获得的知识有望增强国家化学研究的努力。该计划包括在春季学期的早期访问，以使学生与项目相匹配，并开始进行近距离队列。夏季计划的密切管理由每周口头演讲，每周教师的导师讨论，进度和最终报告以及最终研讨会，包括口头和海报演示。此外，还计划举办三个研讨会，以改善学生的演讲和科学写作。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准评估来反映了NSF的法定任务。
