This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site award to University of Arkansas, located in Fayetteville, AR, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2024-2027. In this program, funded by the Division of Chemistry, students will participate in research projects in chemical and materials synthesis, measurement, and modeling that incorporate the principles of green chemistry. The laboratory research will be supplemented with group learning experiences focused on innovation in industry, catalysis, metrology, simulation, teamwork, and communication. This site will provide unique research training to students that balances scientific discovery with sustainability.The student-focused research projects will span a range of topics centered on sustainable chemistry. These topics will include novel synthesis of earth-abundant materials, development of sustainable methods for energy conversion, study of chemical and physical processes using advanced analytical techniques, and development of high accuracy molecular modeling at scale. The professional development will comprise the cohort weekly group learning and the site visits to chemical industry and government laboratory in Arkansas. To broaden participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), this site will actively recruit first-generation and economically disadvantaged students, students from underrepresented groups, and students with disabilities.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.

位于阿肯色州费耶特维尔的阿肯色大学本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站奖支持 10 名学生在 2024 年至 2027 年夏季进行为期 10 周的培训。 在该项目中，由化学系资助，学生将参与融入绿色化学原理的化学和材料合成、测量和建模方面的研究项目。实验室研究将辅以小组学习经验，重点关注工业、催化、计量、模拟、团队合作和沟通方面的创新。该网站将为学生提供独特的研究培训，以平衡科学发现与可持续性。以学生为中心的研究项目将涵盖一系列以可持续化学为中心的主题。 这些主题将包括地球丰富材料的新颖合成、能源转换可持续方法的开发、使用先进分析技术研究化学和物理过程以及大规模开发高精度分子模型。专业发展将包括每周的小组学习以及对阿肯色州化学工业和政府实验室的实地考察。为了扩大对STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）的参与，该网站将积极招募第一代和经济困难学生、弱势群体学生和残疾学生。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，被认为是值得的通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来提供支持。
