The Chemistry Division will support Virginia Polytechnic Institute's proposed expansion of the use of their Mobile Chemistry Laboratory (MCL) that had received initial startup support from NSF and various other private, public, and corporate funding sources. Specifically, their planned program will expand the use of their MCL into more rural regions of southwestern Virginia and will establish two additional weeks of teacher workshops. In addition, a kit-based program will be developed for those schools that have adequate lab space but limited budgets and equipment. They plan to continue to develop the curriculum they initiated this past year. There will be increased efforts in the recruiting of teachers from underrepresented areas.

化学部将支持弗吉尼亚理工学院扩大其移动的化学实验室（MCL）的使用，该实验室已获得NSF和其他各种私人，公共和企业资金来源的初始启动支持。 具体来说，他们计划的计划将扩大他们的MCL的使用到弗吉尼亚州西南部的更多农村地区，并将建立两个额外的教师讲习班周。 此外，将为那些有足够的实验室空间但预算和设备有限的学校开发一个基于工具包的方案。 他们计划继续开发他们去年启动的课程。 将加大力度从代表性不足的地区招聘教师。
