Professor David Allara is jointly funded by the Chemistry Division and the Graduate Education and Research Division of NSF for a Graduate Research Traineeship Program which will involve five graduate students in a core area of molecular surface chemistry. This program will: 1) match the expertise of the core faculty in the areas of advanced surface characterization methods for polymer and biological interfaces, and computational approaches to surfaces; 2) fill a recognized educational need in an area of demonstrated national importance; and 3) provide a unique educational environment for graduate training in the core area. An important aspect of the program includes the creation of a central instrumentation facility which will enable students to gain familiarity with state-of-the-art research equipment. Students will rotate between labs to gain experience in multiple experimental approaches to the core area. %%% Molecular surface chemistry has emerged as a technical area of national importance which has a wide ranging impact on a variety of areas from biology to materials science. It is of fundamental importance in establishing a molecular level understanding of catalysis essential to many industrial processes. There is clearly a need for scientists who are trained in this field of science, and the support provided through this graduate traineeship grant coupled with the expertise found in the Chemistry Department at Pennsylvania State University will help to fulfill that need.

David Allara教授是由NSF化学部和研究生教育和研究部共同资助的研究生研究培训计划，将有五名研究生参与分子表面化学的核心领域。该计划将：1)匹配核心教师在聚合物和生物界面的先进表面表征方法和表面计算方法领域的专业知识；2)满足具有国家重要性的领域公认的教育需求；以及3)为核心领域的研究生培训提供独特的教育环境。该计划的一个重要方面包括建立一个中央仪器设施，使学生能够熟悉最先进的研究设备。学生将在实验室之间轮换，以获得针对核心区域的多种实验方法的经验。分子表面化学已经成为一个具有国家重要性的技术领域，它对从生物学到材料科学的各个领域都产生了广泛的影响。它对于建立对许多工业过程必不可少的催化的分子水平的理解是至关重要的。显然，需要在这一科学领域接受过培训的科学家，通过这项研究生培训补助金提供的支持，加上宾夕法尼亚州立大学化学系的专业知识，将有助于满足这一需求。
