This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site award to Vanderbilt University, located in Nashville, TN, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2024-2026. In this program, funded by the Division of Chemistry, participants will conduct interdisciplinary research in chemical biology in the laboratories of seasoned Vanderbilt faculty mentors of all ranks. The team, led by Professors David Cliffel and Jeff Johnston, designed the program to provide research opportunities to students in ongoing projects in chemical biology, as well as exposure to new areas of research through interdisciplinary scientific seminars. Through mentored, authentic research experiences, this program will evolve the student’s understanding of the research process and the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary chemical biology research while learning to work in a team environment. This program will additionally create a uniquely trained and highly diverse student pool that meets the needs of the 21st century scientific workforce.In an effort to prepare and support the students for their future scientific careers, a complementary professional development seminar series will cover essential topics such as research ethics, safety training, abstract writing, and poster presentation techniques. Sessions on applying to graduate school and seeking out funding opportunities will also be available to participants to help prepare them for post-secondary education opportunities. Additional focus of the program will be to recruit a diverse group of undergraduate students who are majoring in chemistry, biochemistry, and biology for careers in trans-disciplinary chemical or biochemical research.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.

田纳西州纳什维尔的范德比尔特大学的本科生（REU）网站奖的研究经验在2024 - 2026年的夏季，支持10个学生的培训10周。在该计划中，由化学部资助，参与者将在经验丰富的范德比尔特教师的实验室中进行化学生物学研究跨学科研究。该团队由大卫·克利夫尔（David Cliffel）和杰夫·约翰斯顿（Jeff Johnston）教授领导，该计划设计了该计划，旨在为正在进行的化学生物学项目中的学生提供研究机会，并通过跨学科的科学中学生接触新的研究领域。通过指导的，真实的研究经验，该计划将发展学生对研究过程的理解以及当代化学生物学研究的跨学科性质，同时学习在团队环境中工作。该计划还将创建一个受过独特训练且高度多样化的学生池，以满足21世纪科学劳动力的需求。为了为学生准备和支持学生的未来科学职业，完整的专业发展开创性的开创性系列将涵盖基本主题，例如研究伦理，安全培训，摘要写作和海报介绍技术。还将为参与者提供有关申请研究生院并寻求资金机会的会议，以帮助他们为大专教育的机会做好准备。该计划的其他重点将是招募一组跨学科，生物化学和生物学专业的本科生群体，从事跨学科化学或生物化学研究的职业。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并以评估智力和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务。
