This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Mississippi, located in Oxford, MS. The $417,789 award, with a period of performance from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will fund the training of 10 undergraduate students per summer over 3 years in experimental and theoretical physical chemistry research projects. These projects focus on areas such as synthetic design of light-harvesting and catalytic materials, characterization of photophysical properties, spectroscopic study of biologically relevant interactions, and computational modeling of nanomaterials. In addition to hands-on research, the students will participate in faculty-led lectures, professional development activities, and a network-building social program to prepare them for careers in chemistry. This award aims to broaden participation in chemistry research, especially from institutions with limited research opportunities.
