This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Florida State University, located in Tallahassee, FL, supports the training 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, participants pursue interdisciplinary research projects emphasizing photochemistry, photophysics, and spectroscopy. Although students are encouraged to apply from across the country, the site emphasizes the recruitment of students from Florida and the Southeastern United States, particularly those from institutions with few research opportunities and those part of underrepresented groups in chemistry. Participants also take part in a professional development and ethics training, with a focus on science communication and preparation for graduate school or industrial careers. They will also be trained in chemical safety. Through independent research projects and weekly events including workshops, seminars, and Photochemistry Cafés, this site broadens participation in STEM and encourages the pursuit of research careers in STEM fields. The students participate in hands-on research that is of great interest to modern science and technology. In particular, the research projects that are designed to advance knowledge relevant to solar-energy conversion, photochemical reactions, ultrafast photophysical events, and photomagnetic effects. Participants also receive training in synthetic chemistry, a variety of analytical techniques, and theoretical methods. Continued post-program mentoring is provided to the REU participants after they return to their home institutions; they are encouraged to present their work at their home institutions and at professional conferences. This program will build on long-standing efforts by the FSU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in training undergraduates through an active research involvement, which has motivated many students to pursue graduate degrees and to enter careers in science and engineering.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.

该项目向位于佛罗里达州塔拉哈西的佛罗里达州立大学提供本科生研究体验 (REU) 项目，支持 2022 年至 2024 年夏季对 10 名学生进行为期 10 周的培训，该项目由化学系和化学系资助。国防部 ASSURE 计划的参与者从事强调光化学、光物理学和光谱学的跨学科研究项目，尽管鼓励学生从全国各地申请，但该网站。强调招收来自佛罗里达州和美国东南部的学生，特别是那些来自研究机会很少的机构和化学领域代表性不足的群体的学生。参与者还参加专业发展和道德培训，重点是科学传播和准备。他们还将通过独立研究项目和每周举办的研讨会、研讨会和光化学咖啡馆等活动，扩大对 STEM 的参与，并鼓励学生在 STEM 领域从事研究职业。参与特别是，旨在推进与太阳能转换、光化学反应、超快光物理事件和光磁效应相关的知识的研究项目。合成化学、各种分析技术和理论方法。 REU 参与者返回其所在机构后将得到持续的指导；鼓励他们在其所在机构和专业会议上展示他们的工作。将在长期努力的基础上FSU 化学和生物化学系通过积极的研究参与来培训本科生，这激励了许多学生攻读研究生学位并进入科学和工程领域的职业生涯。该网站由国防部 ASSURE 计划与 NSF 合作支持REU 计划。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
