This project provides some support to the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council's Board on Chemical Sciences & Technology (BCST). The activities of the Board benefit the chemical sciences where continued health is a major concern of the NSF Divisions of Chemistry (MPS) and Chemical and Thermal Systems (Engineering). The Board, in the past, managed the studies on "Separation & Purification" and "Frontiers in Chemical Engineering" for the CTS Division and, before that, the "Opportunities in Chemistry" for the Chemistry Division. Co-funding of the BCST by NSF helps it continue its tradition of service to the discipline of chemistry, biochemistry, and chemical engineering by planning studies on important issues and by providing the means by which study recommendations can be disseminated and acted upon. Over the next three years, the Board hopes to formulate a number of major initiatives, including the following: o stimulating the development of an improved introductory chemistry curriculum; o improving the management of chemical laboratory safety in academic institutions; o providing guidance on optimal strategies for the design, construction, and renovation of chemical laboratory facilities; o continuing coordinated dissemination efforts for the chemistry and chemical engineering survey reports; and o initiating a series of short, highly visible reports/symposia to highlight especially promising chemical research frontiers. One such report was recently started on "Catalyst Science and Technology" under the chairmanship of Alexis Bell of the University of California-Berkeley, Department of Chemical Engineering.

该项目为美国国家科学院国家研究委员会化学科学与技术委员会 (BCST) 提供一些支持。 委员会的活动有利于化学科学，其中持续健康是 NSF 化学部 (MPS) 以及化学和热系统（工程）部门的主要关注点。 该委员会过去负责管理CTS部门的“分离与纯化”和“化学工程前沿”研究，此前还负责化学部门的“化学机遇”研究。 NSF 对 BCST 的共同资助有助于其继续其为化学、生物化学和化学工程学科服务的传统，规划对重要问题的研究，并提供研究建议传播和采取行动的手段。 在未来三年内，董事会希望制定一系列重大举措，包括： o 促进改进化学入门课程的开发； o 改进学术机构化学实验室安全管理； o 为化学实验室设施的设计、建造和改造的最佳策略提供指导； o 继续协调传播化学和化学工程调查报告的工作； o 发起一系列简短、引人注目的报告/研讨会，以突出特别有前途的化学研究前沿。 最近，在加州大学伯克利分校化学工程系的亚历克西斯·贝尔 (Alexis Bell) 的主持下，在“催化剂科学与技术”上启动了一份这样的报告。
