The award from the Chemistry Division supports an Undergraduate Research Centers (URC) planning grant. The PI is Jani C. Ingram. The co-PIs are Mansel A. Nelson of Northern Arizona University, Jeanne E. Pemberton of the University of Arizona and Paul E. Smolenyak of Yavapai College. This award will develop a comprehensive strategy for creating an undergraduate research center in Arizona to enhance chemistry-related educational opportunities for early college students. It will involve a partnership among a research-centered institution (University of Arizona), a predominantly undergraduate institution (Northern Arizona University), community colleges (Yavapai College and Coconino Community College), and an educational outreach program (Environmental Education Outreach Program/Institute of Tribal Environmental Professional). There will be an initiative to recruit high school students to choose scientific careers. Other objectives are to improve discovery-base learning aspects in the freshman chemistry curriculum, develop research projects that involve activities at the individual institutions as well as interactions between institutions, pilot informational sessions for freshman students about lives of chemists that have degrees in chemistry but have taken varying career paths, and explore adding other community colleges to the center. The research opportunities for the students will be concentrated on environmental science providing the students with a multidisciplinary exposure to research.

化学部的奖项支持本科研究中心（URC）规划补助金。 PI是Jani C。英格拉姆 共同PI是Mansel A。北方亚利桑那大学的纳尔逊，珍妮E。亚利桑那大学的Pemberton和Paul E. Yavapai学院的Smolenyak。 该奖项将制定一个全面的战略，在亚利桑那州创建一个本科研究中心，以提高早期大学生的化学相关的教育机会。 它将涉及一个以研究为中心的机构（亚利桑那大学）、一个以本科为主的机构（北方亚利桑那大学）、社区学院（Yavapai学院和Coconino社区学院）和一个教育推广方案（环境教育推广方案/部落环境专业人员研究所）之间的伙伴关系。 将有一项举措招募高中生选择科学职业。 其他目标是提高发现基础学习方面的新生化学课程，开发研究项目，涉及在个别机构的活动以及机构之间的互动，试点信息会议为新生学生的生活化学家有化学学位，但采取了不同的职业道路，并探讨增加其他社区学院的中心。 学生的研究机会将集中在环境科学上，为学生提供多学科的研究机会。
