NSF Inorganic Chemistry Workshops, 2004-2006

新墨西哥大学化学系的Richard Kemp博士(Pi)和R.Thomas Baker博士(co-Pi)由化学系无机、生物无机和有机金属化学项目支持，将主办由NSF赞助的2004、2005和2006年度无机研讨会。这些讲习班的目的是召集来自不同地理区域和广泛不同职业生涯不同阶段的研究人员，鼓励对正在进行的调查进行非正式和详细的讨论。研讨会将集中讨论新出现的想法、新技术和尚未解决的问题。一组科学顾问将协助选择参与者。拟议中的研讨会的目的是为有效、集中地交流和讨论无机化学中当前的研究想法、进展、问题和新机会提供一种手段。将努力让来自界面领域的研究人员参与进来，以鼓励新的研究倡议。材料科学、药物化学、不对称合成、工业催化、聚合物化学、分析化学、生物化学、光谱学、理论化学、气相化学和实验物理化学等领域，通过研究方法的交叉培养，可能会出现创造性突破，这只是少数几个领域。在过去的25年里，NSF无机化学研讨会一直是美国无机化学和有机金属化学教育和交流的重要组成部分。这些工作坊聚集了无机化学家，特别是助理和副教授级别的年轻化学家，让他们有机会测试他们的想法。将根据参与者的意见向NSF IBO计划和社区提供年度报告，以提供对新兴研究领域的洞察。

Dr. Richard Kemp (PI) of the Department of Chemistry, University of New Mexico, and Dr. R. Thomas Baker (co-PI) are supported by the Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry program of the Division of Chemistry to host the 2004, 2005 and 2006 NSF-sponsored Annual Inorganic Workshops. The purpose of these workshops is to assemble researchers from different geographical areas and broad diversity at different stages of their careers to encourage informal and detailed discussion of in progress investigations. The workshops will focus on emerging ideas, new techniques, and unsolved problems. A group of Scientific Advisors will assist in selecting the participants. The aim of the proposed workshop is to provide a means for efficient, concentrated communication and discussion of current research ideas, progress, problems, and new opportunities in inorganic chemistry. An effort will be made to involve researchers from interfacial areas to encourage new research initiatives. Areas such as materials science, pharmaceutical chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, industrial catalysis, polymer chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, spectroscopy, theoretical chemistry, gas phase chemistry, and experimental physical chemistry are but a few where creative breakthroughs might occur by cross fertilization of research approaches. The NSF Inorganic Chemistry Workshop has been an essential element of U.S. education and communication in Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry over the last 25 years. The workshops bring together inorganic chemists, particularly younger chemists at the Assistant and Associate Professor levels to give them an occasion to test their ideas. An annual report will be made available to the NSF IBO program and to the community based on input from the participants to provide insight into emerging research areas.
