A Workshop on the Concept of Creating Undergraduate Research Centers in Chemistry; March 31-April 2, 2003; Arlington, VA

该奖项将资助亚利桑那大学化学系的Jeanne E. Pemberton博士，她将组织并举办一个名为“创建本科研究中心的概念”的研讨会。弗曼大学的摩西·李博士是该项目的共同负责人。研讨会的目的是评估建立化学本科研究中心（URC）的兴趣、优点和可行性。这些中心旨在为一年级和二年级学生提供研究经验。讲习班将由一个十人指导委员会制定，该委员会将监督讲习班的规划、发展和实施的所有阶段，并起草一份最终报告。讲习班将有大约60人参加，其中包括学术和工业管理人员、国家和工业实验室和资助机构的代表、社区学院到博士机构的科学家和教育工作者。讲习班报告将为化学司URC的规划过程提供信息

PI: Pemberton Institution: University of ArizonaThis award will support Dr. Jeanne E. Pemberton of the Department of Chemistry, University of Arizona, who will organize and conduct a workshop entitled "The Concept of Creating Undergraduate Research Centers". Dr. Moses Lee of Furman University is co-PI of the project. The goal of the workshop is to assess the interest, merits, and feasibility of creating undergraduate research centers (URC) in chemistry. These centers are proposed to introduce first and second year students to a research experience. The workshop will be developed by a ten-person steering committee that will oversee all phases of planning, development and implementation of the workshop, and drafting a final report. The workshop will be attended by a diverse group of approximately 60 participants including academic and industrial administrators, representatives from national and industrial labs and funding agencies, and scientists and educators from community colleges through Ph.D. institutions. The workshop report will inform the URC planning process in the Division of Chemistry
