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

该项目由分析和表面化学计划支持，属于生物分析化学的一般领域。该活动以基础设施发展为主要推动力，为本科院校的四名教员提供支持，使他们能够在为期十周的暑期期间参与堪萨斯大学的研究活动。此外，三名在前几个夏天得到支持的教职员工将返回堪萨斯州两周，以更新他们的研究。它被设计为一个聚合的NSF研究机会奖(ROA)，并已成为化学界的一个宏观ROA。通过为地区性本科院校的教师提供这样的研究机会，该项目不仅有助于保持或恢复他们对研究追求的兴趣，而且还有助于在大学环境中更新他们关于现代生物分析化学的知识。这个项目的重点是来自本科院校的七名教师对生物分析化学的研究和培训提供支持。这个项目的参与者所获得的经验将被传递给他们在各自机构的学生。这项基础设施投资有助于维持参与者的通货，并间接促进学生对化学职业的兴趣发展。

This project, supported by the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, is in the general area of bioanalytical chemistry. The activity, which has as its primary thrust infrastructure development, provides support for four faculty from undergraduate institutions to enable their participation in research activities at the University of Kansas during ten-week summer periods. In addition, three faculty who have been supported during previous summers will return to Kansas for two weeks to update their research. It is designed as an aggregated NSF Research Opportunity Award (ROA) and has become known in the chemistry community as a Macro-ROA. By providing faculty from regional undergraduate institutions with such research opportunities, this program serves not only to maintain or rejuvenate their interest in research pursuits, but also to update them regarding modern bioanalytical chemistry in a collegial setting. The focus of this project is the support of seven faculty from undergraduate institutions for research and training in bioanalytical chemistry. Experiences garnered by participants in this program are passed on to their students in their respective institutions. This infrastructure investment serves to maintain topical currency on the part of the participants and to indirectly promote the development of their student's interest in careers in chemistry.
