Of the 33 students who participated in the program over the past three years, 91% came from underrepresented minority groups, better than 60% were women, and almost 45% came from community colleges.\u00a0Many of them co-authored peer-reviewed publications, presented their findings at conferences, and\/or decided to attend graduate school, including BU. Another measure of the program\u2019s success is its ever-expanding pool of applicants, with over 600 applications received for the summer 2018 program alone.<\/p>\n<p>Chemistry would like to give special recognition to the efforts of Professors \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/chemistry\/people\/faculty\/doerrer\/\">Linda Doerrer<\/a>,\u00a0Principal Investigator (PI), and\u00a0,<a href=\"http:\/\/http\/www.bu.edu\/chemistry\/faculty\/snyder\/\">John Snyder<\/a>, co-PI, and Chemistry Departments Proposal Development Administrator Daniel Hauck, whose hard work and commitment to the program made this renewal possible.<\/p>\n<p>Due to a change in the National Science Foundation\u2019s funding periods, the Chemistry Department will not be hosting REU students for the Summer of 2019. The program will be active again in the Summer 2020. \u00a0For more information, including the application process, visit the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/chemweb.bu.edu\/reu\/\">BU Chemistry REU<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BU Chemistry is pleased to announce a three-year renewal of funding for our\u00a0NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program. \u00a0This summer program, hosted by the Chemistry Department, provides students from primarily undergraduate institutions with opportunities to work in advanced research laboratories.
