The Chemistry Department of Wichita State University (WSU) is supported by the Chemistry Division, the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, and EPSCOR under the "Research Sites for Educators in Chemistry" (RSEC) program. Dr. D. Paul Rillema is the Principal Investigator. The Wichita State RSEC program will focus its attention on some 30 two- and four- year institutions via the development of research collaborations. A minimum of two faculty from institutions will receive support to spend one or two semesters and a summer at WSU doing research. A second component of the Wichita State RSEC is a program of teaching postdoctoral fellows who will be involved in research and trained for teaching in two- or four-year institutions. The training will be provided by a team of WSU Faculty and the two- and four-year faculty participants. The teaching postdoctoral fellows will teach one course per semester under the guidance of a WSU faculty member and from a two- or four-year institution faculty participant. The faculty participants will also invite one promising student from their institution to work alongside them as team members in the laboratory during the summer thus facilitating the continued functioning of the team at their home institutions. Finally, each teaching postdoctoral fellow will select an undergraduate student either from WSU or a two- or four-year institution to learn the ropes of directing undergraduate students in research.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 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 learner perspectives. RSECs such as this one at Wichita State University 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.

威奇托州立大学（WSU）的化学系由化学系，多学科活动的MPS办公室和EPSCOR根据“化学教育工作者的研究网站”（RSEC）计划提供支持。 Dr. D. Paul Rillema是首席研究员。 威奇托州的RSEC计划将通过发展研究合作，将注意力集中在大约30个两年制和四年制的机构上。来自各机构的至少两名教师将获得支持，在WSU度过一个或两个学期和一个夏天进行研究。 威奇托州RSEC的第二个组成部分是一个教学博士后研究员计划，他们将参与研究，并接受两年或四年制机构的教学培训。 培训将由WSU教师团队和两年和四年的教师参与者提供。 教学博士后研究员将教一门课程，每学期的指导下，WSU教员和从两年或四年的机构教师参与。 教师参与者还将邀请一个有前途的学生从他们的机构一起工作，作为团队成员在实验室在夏天，从而促进团队在他们的家乡机构的持续运作。 最后，每个教学博士后研究员将选择一名本科生，无论是从华盛顿州立大学或两年或四年制的机构，学习指导本科生在研究的绳索。研究网站的教育家在化学汇集了教师参与两年制学院，学士学位学院，和硕士大学，在一个地理区域内的研究型大学的教师，以提高研究和教育的机会，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，并且所有人都可以共同努力，为教育注入发现的兴奋，并通过学习者视角的多样性丰富研究。 RSEC，如这一个在威奇托州立大学提供的机制，传播知识，技能，实践和研究伦理，以更广泛的社会，包括那些从代表性不足的群体;协助发展可行的，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更广泛的跨部门的教师和学生。
