The Chemistry Department of Minnesota University (MU) is supported by the Chemistry Division, and the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities under the "Research Sites for Educators in Chemistry" (RSEC) program. Dr. Jeffrey Roberts is the Principal Investigator. The Minnesota RSEC program will be oriented around four interdisciplinary areas: chemical biology, computational chemistry, environmental chemistry, and materials chemistry. The RSEC will support a broad range of collective modes, from standard sabbatical visits, to distance-collaborations with faculty and undergraduates from nearby colleges, to group visits involving three or more faculty from a single department. An Executive Committee consisting of Two University of Minnesota chemistry professors and two professors from undergraduate institutions will assist Dr.Roberts. Plans are for the RSEC leadership team to recruit a group of approximately 20 undergraduate chemistry departments as RSEC participants. The program will draw from institutions in the upper Midwest. The assessment and evaluation of the program will be facilitated by an Advisory Committee of five faculty form both UM and small-school departments. Research Sites for Educators in Chemistry bring together the faculty of participating two-year colleges, baccalaureate colleges, and master's universities with faculty at research universities within a geographic region, to enhance the research and educational opportunities at all participants. Academic and research institutions provide abundant opportunities where individuals may concurrently assume responsibilities as researchers, educators, and students, and where all can engage in joint efforts that infuse education with the excitement of discovery and enrich research through the diversity of learning perspectives. RSECs such as this one at the University of Minnesota provide mechanisms for disseminating the knowledge, skill, practices and ethics of research to a broader community, including those from underrepresented groups; assist in developing viable, sustainable research programs at participating institutions; and involve faculty and students at the participating institutions with a broader cross-section of faculty and students.

明尼苏达大学（MU）的化学系由化学系和MPS多学科活动办公室根据“化学教育工作者研究网站”（RSEC）计划提供支持。 Jeffrey Roberts博士是主要研究者。 明尼苏达RSEC计划将围绕四个跨学科领域进行：化学生物学，计算化学，环境化学和材料化学。 RSEC将支持广泛的集体模式，从标准的休假访问，到与附近学院的教师和本科生的远程合作，再到涉及三名或三名以上教师的团体访问。一个由两名明尼苏达大学化学教授和两名本科院校教授组成的执行委员会将协助罗伯茨博士。RSEC领导团队计划招募大约20个本科化学系作为RSEC参与者。 该计划将吸引来自上中西部的机构。该计划的评估和评价将由一个由五名教师组成的咨询委员会提供便利。化学教育工作者的研究场所汇集了参与两年制学院，学士学位学院和硕士大学的教师与地理区域内研究型大学的教师，以提高所有参与者的研究和教育机会。 学术和研究机构提供了大量的机会，个人可以同时承担研究人员，教育工作者和学生的责任，所有人都可以共同努力，为教育注入发现的兴奋，并通过学习视角的多样性丰富研究。 RSEC，如这一个在明尼苏达大学提供传播的知识，技能，实践和研究的道德更广泛的社区，包括那些从代表性不足的群体的机制;协助制定可行的，可持续的研究计划在参与机构;并涉及教师和学生在参与机构与教师和学生的更广泛的横截面。
