The award from the Chemistry Division supports an Undergraduate Research Centers (URC) planning grant. The PI is Ralph Isovitsch. The co-PIs are Michael Adams and Ruquia Ahmed-Schofield. A pilot program will be developed to initiate freshman and sophomores into research experiences. It will illustrate at an early stage in a student's career the connection between what they learn in the classroom and real world problems. In the first year students will participate in an introductory seminar where they will learn program expectations and interact with possible research mentors. They will enroll in a one-credit research foundations course. Students will do three-week rotations through the labs of potential research mentors. This will lead to a summer intramural research experience. In the second year they will present their work at a local ACS poster session and continue on their research projects. The capstone experience will be a summer extramural research experience at a partner institution that has expressed interest in accepting Xavier students. Prospective partners are Louisiana State University, University of Maryland, Tulane University and the University of New Orleans. During the planning phase, links with two-year colleges, local industrial and governmental organizations will be developed. Efforts to recruit high school students will be undertaken involving the Xavier U. Chapter of the ACS Student Affiliates. This award is cofunded by EHR/HBCU-UG.

化学部的奖项支持本科研究中心（URC）规划补助金。 私家侦探是拉尔夫·伊索维奇。 共同调查员是迈克尔亚当斯和鲁基亚艾哈迈德-斯科菲尔德。 将制定一个试点计划，以启动新生和大学生进入研究经验。 它将在学生职业生涯的早期阶段说明他们在课堂上学到的东西和真实的世界问题之间的联系。在第一年，学生将参加一个介绍性的研讨会，在那里他们将学习计划的期望，并与可能的研究导师互动。 他们将参加一个学分的研究基础课程。 学生将通过潜在的研究导师的实验室进行为期三周的轮换。 这将导致夏季校内研究经验。 在第二年，他们将在当地的ACS海报会议上展示他们的工作，并继续他们的研究项目。 顶点的经验将是在一个合作机构，已表示有兴趣接受泽维尔学生夏季校外研究经验。 潜在的合作伙伴是路易斯安那州立大学、马里兰州大学、杜兰大学和新奥尔良大学。 在规划阶段，将与两年制学院、地方工业和政府组织建立联系。 努力招募高中生将涉及泽维尔大学。ACS Student Affiliates学生联盟 该奖项由EHR/HBCU-UG共同资助。
