The Research Improvement in Minority Institutions (RIMI) program was designed to increase the participation of minorities in scientific and engineering research by providing support to strengthen the research environment and capabilities of predominantly minority institutions. Institutions eligible to participate in this program must have in addition to a substantial enrollment of minority students, graduate programs in science or programs in engineering. Researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso will use a RIMI planning grant to explore surface science research possibilities in several areas. Explorations will focus on the effect of oxygen on carbon-hydrogen bond activation in methane, co-adsorption of alkalis and carbon monoxide on transition metal surfaces, and the chemical activation of silicon-based materials on clean metal surfaces. This planning grant will increase the investigator's capability to perform surface analysis experiments and will contribute to the institution's long-term goal to establish a strong materials science program. The principal investigator has experience in surface science studies and continues to publish extensively in refereed journals. This RIMI planning grant will lead to activities that will encourage more minority students to choose careers in materials science.

少数民族机构研究改进（RIMI）计划 旨在增加少数群体参与科学和 工程研究提供支持，以加强研究 主要是少数民族机构的环境和能力。 有资格参加该计划的机构必须在 除了少数民族学生的大量招生，研究生 科学或工程专业的课程。 的研究人员 德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校将使用RIMI规划赠款， 探索表面科学研究在几个领域的可能性。 探索将集中在氧对碳氢化合物的影响上 甲烷中的键活化，碱碳共吸附 过渡金属表面上的一氧化物，以及 硅基材料清洁金属表面。 这项规划补助金将提高调查员的能力， 进行表面分析实验，并将有助于 该机构的长期目标是建立强大的材料科学 程序. 首席研究员具有表面科学经验 研究并继续在权威期刊上广泛发表文章。 这RIMI规划赠款将导致活动，将鼓励 更多的少数民族学生选择材料科学的职业。
