Summer Institutes in Analytical Chemistry

这个项目是在分析和表面化学领域，定义广泛。在1988年6月1日至1988年8月9日的十周期间，来自不提供化学博士学位的学院的五名教员将与北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校(UNC)的七名分析和表面化学教员进行合作研究。来自本科院校的研究参与者将从回应北卡罗来纳大学宣布暑期研究计划的申请者中挑选出来。这项活动类似于通过NSF研究机会奖(ROA)向本科院校的教员提供支持，代表着北卡罗来纳大学对具有分析和表面化学专业知识的博士化学家生产中的国家危机的攻击之一。在这个项目中，来自本科院校的参与教员不一定会预先安排他们与北卡罗来纳大学分析教员的暑期研究活动，而是在他们有机会充分考虑主办机构参与教员的所有研究计划后，确定他们的合作安排。除了活动的研究重点外，北卡罗来纳大学的教职员工和附近研究三角园区工业实验室的科学家将举办一系列讲座，涵盖构成现代分析和表面化学的前沿研究工具和主题，并讨论这一广泛领域的研究机会。此外，来自联邦和私营部门的资助机构的代表将向与会者发表讲话，并描述通过竞争寻求此类支持的机制。这些机构强烈承诺支持本科院校的高质量研究项目。这个项目的一个特别重要的目标是帮助本科院校的参与教师开始在美国东南部的四年制院校建立一个重要的学术分析化学家网络，以帮助大力解决将杰出的年轻人才吸引到具有挑战性和技术重要性的分析和表面化学子领域的问题。

This project is in the area of analytical and surface chemistry, broadly defined. During the ten week period between 1 June 1988 and 9 August 1988, five faculty members from colleges that do not offer the PhD degree in chemistry will carry out collaborative research with seven analytical and surface chemistry faculty members at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). Research participants from the undergraduate institutions will be selected from among applicant who respond to UNC's announcement of the summer research program. This activity is analogous to the support of faculty from undergraduate institutions through NSF Research Opportunity Awards (ROAs) and represents one of UNC's attacks on the national crisis in production of PhD chemists with expertise in the area of analytical and surface chemistry. In this project, participating faculty from the undergraduate institutions will not necessarily have prearranged their summer research activities with UNC analytical faculty members, rather they will establish their collaborative arrangements after they have had an opportunity to consider fully all of the research programs of the host institution participating faculty members. In addition to the research focus of the activity, UNC faculty and scientists from industrial laboratories in nearby Research Triangle Park will present a series of lectures covering frontier research tools and topics that constitute modern analytical and surface chemistry and discuss research opportunities in this broad field. Also, representatives from funding agencies from both Federal and private sectors that have a strong commitment to the support of quality research programs in undergraduate institutions will address the participants and describe the mechanisms whereby such support can be competitively sought. One particularly important goal of this project is to assist the participating faculty from undergraduate institutions to begin to establish a network of vital academic analytical chemists in four-year institutions in the southeastern United States that can help to address vigorously the problem of attracting outstanding young talent to the challenging and technologically important subfield of analytical and surface chemistry.
