The Chemistry Department at Furman University, has developed an NSF-REU program that promotes the development of both students and faculty. The program accepts student-faculty teams from community colleges, minority-serving institutions, and other PUIs that are early in the process of developing undergraduate research programs. Visiting teams can work on their own projects or in collaboration with Furman faculty. The program provides stipend support for both students and faculty as well as laboratory space, access to instrumentation and supply money. The visiting team approach encourages the visiting student to continue research during the academic year and the faculty to develop research projects that span multiple years. The participation of early career faculty is encouraged and supported through faculty mentoring opportunities. Furman's summer chemistry program averages 50+ undergraduates each summer and features comprehensive technical training, community outreach, and social opportunities for all students.
