This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The supercomputer resources requested will support our Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site (7/15/06  7/14/07) which is jointly supported by the Department of Defense and the National Science Foundation (CHE-0354052) titled Integrated Computational and Experimental REU Site at Duquesne University. Twenty REU students have meaningful and novel chemical research experiences during the summer in exciting and broad scientific themes, such as nanotechnology, homeland security, advanced instrumentation, pharmaceutical drug design, forensic sciences and chemical biology. Each REU project is supplemented by well-defined computational components that are integrated into nationally recognized and funded graduate research programs. Duquesne has an enthusiastic and qualified team of theoreticians who have extraordinary resources, proven records in student placement, NSF-funded facilities, and established research programs in molecular modeling. The students will be trained to use state-of-the-art computational facilities to advance experimental research. Each student will work a majority of the time directly with an experimental faculty mentor in the laboratory, and consult with a theoretical faculty liaison. Over the last 12 years, the Departments faculty has provided mentoring for 199 undergraduates, resulting in 229 professional presentations and 63 peer-reviewed publications by undergraduates. The faculty has provided research experiences for over 18 students per summer, limited by available scholarships and stipends, and the computational resources to promote joint research projects. The proposed instrumentation will alleviate limitations on the REU Site. The targeted REU students are those beyond their freshman and before their senior year who might not otherwise have the opportunity of a research experience, particularly those from institutions where research programs are limited. One focus is to improve upon the number of underrepresented students (currently 14%) and maintain the number of women participants (currently 60%). A pilot program for the proposed REU site with Florida Memorial College (FMC), a historically black college, has been established in 2001 to create research opportunities for underrepresented students. Prof. Huisso from FMC has become a crucial member of our team in terms of mentoring and recruitment. Over the last two years, Duquesne has awarded six research fellowships to FMC and Mississippi State College for Women. Additionally, research fellowships have been award to three women from regional schools with limited research programs. Two female faculty members have been hired at Duquesne and have become senior personnel on this proposal. Finally, Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (AMP) schools, along with students from 125 regional Pittsburgh schools (53 minority or all-women colleges), will be actively recruited.

该副本是利用众多研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子弹和 调查员（PI）可能已经从其他NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他清晰的条目中代表。列出的机构是 对于中心，这不一定是调查员的机构。 所请求的超级计算机资源将支持我们针对本科生（REU）网站（7/15/06 7/14/07）的研究经验，该网站由国防部和国家科学基金会（CHE-0354052）共同支持，标题为杜奎斯内大学的综合计算和实验性REU网站。夏季，有20名REU学生在纳米技术，国土安全，先进的仪器，药物设计，法医科学和化学生物学等方面具有有意义且新颖的化学研究经验。每个REU项目都由定义明确的计算组件补充，这些计算组件集成到国家认可和资助的研究生研究计划中。杜肯（Duquesne）拥有一支热情且合格的理论家团队，他们拥有非凡的资源，在学生安置，NSF资助的设施中有经过验证的记录，并在分子建模方面建立了研究计划。学生将接受培训，以使用最先进的计算设施来推进实验研究。每个学生将直接与实验室的实验教师导师直接工作，并与理论教师联络。在过去的12年中，该系的教职员工为199名本科生提供了指导，从而由本科生提供了229个专业演讲和63个同行评审的出版物。该教师为每个夏天的18多名学生提供了研究经验，受到可用奖学金和津贴的限制，以及促进联合研究项目的计算资源。拟议的仪器将减轻REU站点上的限制。 有针对性的REU学生是新生以外的人，在大四之前，他们可能没有机会获得研究经验，尤其是来自研究计划有限的机构的经验。一个重点是改善代表性不足的学生（目前为14％）并维持女性参与者的数量（目前为60％）。佛罗里达纪念学学院（FMC）是一所历史悠久的黑人学院的拟议REU网站的试点计划，于2001年成立，为代表性不足的学生创造了研究机会。 FMC的Huisso教授在指导和招聘方面已成为我们团队的重要成员。在过去的两年中，Duquesne已向FMC和密西西比州妇女学院授予了六项研究奖学金。此外，研究奖学金已授予来自研究计划有限的地区学校的三名妇女。两名女教师已在杜肯（Duquesne）雇用，并已成为该提议的高级人员。最后，路易斯·斯托克斯（Louis Stokes）少数族裔参与（AMP）学校以及来自125所地区匹兹堡学校（53个少数民族或全女性学院）的学生将被积极招募。
