Ten Week Summer Research for Five College Teachers with Emphasis in Bioanalytical Chemistry

这个项目属于广义的分析化学的一般领域。在1988年6月1日至1988年8月31日的10周期间，来自不提供化学博士学位的学院的5名教员将与来自堪萨斯大学生物分析研究中心（CBAR）的10名教员就生物分析化学的各个方面进行合作研究。研究参与者将从响应堪萨斯大学夏季研究计划的人中选出；这一声明针对的是堪萨斯附近的十个中西部州。这项活动类似于通过美国国家科学基金会研究机会奖（ROAs）向本科院校的教师提供支持。然而，在这个项目中，来自本科院校的参与教师不必预先与特定的CBAR教师安排他们的夏季研究活动。相反，他们将在有机会充分考虑东道国参与教师的所有研究项目后建立合作安排。除了这个项目的研究重点外，CBAR教师还将提供一系列的教程，涵盖构成现代化学分析的当前研究工具和主题，特别强调生物分析化学的研究机会，这些研究机会随后可以在参与的本科教师的家庭机构中实施。此外，来自联邦和私营部门资助机构的代表，他们对支持本科院校的高质量研究项目有坚定的承诺，他们将向与会者发表讲话，并描述如何通过竞争寻求这种支持的机会。这个为期三年的项目有望通过在中西部的本科院校建立一个重要的学术分析化学家网络，吸引越来越多的学生进入分析化学的职业生涯。

This project is in the general area of analytical chemistry, broadly defined. During a ten-week period between 1 June 1988 and 31 August 1988, five faculty members from colleges that do not offer the PhD degree in chemistry will carry out collaborative research on various aspects of bioanalytical chemistry with ten faculty members from the Center for Bioanalytical Research (CBAR) at the University of Kansas (KU). Research participants will be selected from among those who respond to KU's announcement of the summer research program; this announcement has been targeted at ten midwestern states in the vicinity of Kansas. This activity is analogous to the support of faculty from undergraduate institutions through NSF Research Opportunity Awards (ROAs). In this project, however, participating faculty from the undergraduate institutions will not have necessarily prearranged their summer research activities with particular CBAR 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. In addition to the research thrust of this program, CBAR faculty will present a series of tutorials covering current research tools and topics that constitute modern chemical analysis, with particular emphasis on research opportunities in bioanalytical chemistry that could be implemented subsequently at the home institutions of the participating undergraduate faculty members. Also, representatives from Federal and private sector funding agencies that have strong commitments to the support of quality research programs in undergraduate institutions will address the participants and describe opportunities whereby such support can be competitively sought. This three-year project can be expected to lead to the attraction of increased numbers of students into careers in analytical chemistry by beginning to establish a network of vital, academic analytical chemists at undergraduate institutions in the midwest.
