This National Science Foundation Project Grant award to the University of Wyoming in the amount of $418,500 supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program in the Division of Chemistry. Over the 2024-2026 summers, the program will provide 10 students per year with 10 weeks of collaborative research experience focused on analytical chemistry, sustainability, and renewable energy. In addition to the hands-on research, participants will take part in a professional development and ethics training curriculum covering science communication, graduate school preparation, and career development. The program aims to broaden participation in STEM fields by recruiting undergraduates, particularly from community colleges in the Wyoming region and neighboring states. This REU site award reflects the NSF's priority to advance scientific knowledge, support innovative technologies, and strengthen the STEM workforce pipeline through research training initiatives.
