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

本项目由分析和表面化学计划资助，属于生物分析化学的一般领域。该活动以基础设施建设为主要推动力，为来自本科院校的四名教员提供支持，使他们能够在为期十周的夏季期间参与堪萨斯大学的研究活动。此外，在前几个夏天得到支持的三名教员将返回堪萨斯两周，更新他们的研究。它被设计为一个综合的NSF研究机会奖（ROA），并在化学界被称为宏观ROA。通过为地区本科院校的教师提供这样的研究机会，该计划不仅可以保持或恢复他们对研究追求的兴趣，而且还可以在大学环境中更新他们对现代生物分析化学的了解。该项目的重点是支持来自本科院校的七名教师进行生物分析化学的研究和培训。参与者在这个项目中获得的经验将传递给他们各自机构的学生。这种基础设施投资有助于保持参与者的主题货币，并间接促进学生对化学职业兴趣的发展。

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.
