Multisite University-Industry Collaboration: A New Paradigm for Graduate Education

9634238特拉华州富特雷尔大学将通过授予特拉华大学一个新的研究生和博士后教育项目，该项目旨在与工业研究职业相关，该奖项将授予特拉华大学化学部和数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室的学术联系机会(GOALI)计划。由Jean H.Futrell领导的一个由来自特拉华大学、约翰霍普金斯大学、马里兰大学、巴尔的摩县马里兰大学和杜邦中央研究与开发公司的科学家组成的团队将提供一个新的分析化学研究和培训计划，重点是质谱学的基础研究和工业问题的应用。该教育项目的特点是在四个网站的研究和培训中分担导师责任，并结合新课程、专业培训经验和结构化的实习轮换。该计划与研究生教育的标准模式不同，因为该计划的教职员工团队将共同负责向各个博士委员会推荐的学习计划。除了在选定的质谱学领域进行深入研究外，学生还需要证明掌握解决分析问题的所有现代工具。除了传统上强调基础发现研究之外，论文研究还将明确包括工业应用部分。这一大学/行业合作测试了分析化学家研究生和研究生教育的新范式，目的是为他们在工业研究中担任领导角色做好准备。来自三所大学和一家主要工业研究实验室的科学家合作，提供涵盖现代质谱学各个方面的教育项目。

9634238 Futrell Univ of Delaware A new program in graduate and postdoctoral education designed for relevance to research careers in industry will be established through this award to the University of Delaware under the Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) program in the Chemistry Division and Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences. Led by Jean H. Futrell, a team of scientists from the University of Delaware, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and DuPont Central Research and Development will provide a new research and training program in analytical chemistry focusing on both fundamental research in mass spectrometry and applications to industrial problems. The educational program features shared mentorship responsibilities in research and training across the four sites, along with a combination of new courses, professional training experiences, and structured internship rotations. The proposed program differs from the standard model of graduate education in that the faculty team for the proposal will be jointly responsible for the programs of study recommended to individual Ph. D. committees. Students will be required to demonstrate mastery of all modern tools for analytical problem solving in addition to in-depth research in a selected area of mass spectrometry. Thesis research will explicitly include an industrial applications component in addition to traditional emphasis on fundamental discovery research. This university/industry collaboration tests a new paradigm in graduate and post-graduate education of analytical chemists with the objective of preparing them for leadership roles in industrial research. Scientists from three universities and a major industrial research laboratory partner to offer an educational program spanning all aspects of modern mass spectrometry.
