This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Rice University, located in Houston, TX sponsors the preparation of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2022-2024. In this program, funded by the Division of Chemistry and the Department of Defense ASSURE program, students participate in research projects focused on advancing Chemical Nanoscale Science and Technology. As part of the program, the students are exposed to a variety of professional development and leadership training activities in addition to personal mentoring in their individual projects. The combination of strategic recruitment, research, professional development, and leadership activities allows this REU site to support education and diversity to prepare the new generation of leaders in STEM. The participating students work on individual projects related to different subareas in Chemical Nanosciences including, Nano Materials, Nano Medicine, Nano Organic, Nano Theory/Computation, Nano Physical, and Nano Imaging. In addition, the students partake in professional leadership training in collaboration with the Doerr Institute for New Leaders, professional development activities in partnership with the Rice Center for Career Development, and the Rice Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, and scientific literacy activities organized by the PI team. The long-term objective of this REU site is to enhance the preparation, number, and diversity of students pursuing graduate degrees and careers in STEM. Appropriate representation is ensured by recruiting students through established partnerships with minority-serving institutions and primarily undergraduate institutions.This site is supported by the Department of Defense ASSURE program in partnership with the NSF 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.

该研究经验是在2022 - 2024年夏季，位于德克萨斯州休斯顿的赖斯大学的本科生（REU）现场奖项颁发了10周的准备工作10周。在该计划中，由化学司和国防部Assure计划资助，学生参与着专注于推进化学纳米级科学技术的研究项目。 作为该计划的一部分，除了个人项目中的个人指导外，学生还接触了各种专业发展和领导培训活动。战略招聘，研究，专业发展和领导力活动的结合使该REU网站能够支持教育和多样性，以准备STEM的新一代领导者。参与的学生从事与化学纳米科学不同亚地区有关的单个项目，包括纳米材料，纳米医学，纳米有机，纳米理论/计算，纳米物理和纳米成像。 此外，学生们与Doerr新领导者研究所合作，与赖斯职业发展中心合作，参加专业领导力培训，以及PI团队组织的科学识字活动。 此REU站点的长期目标是增强从STEM中追求研究生学位和职业的学生的准备，人数和多样性。通过与少数派服务机构的建立合作伙伴关系，主要是本科机构招募学生，可以确保适当的代表。本网站得到与NSF REU计划合作的支持，该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估智能委员会和广泛的影响，反映了NSF的法定任务，并获得了评估。
