NSF Workshop on Implementation of Undergradaute Research Centers

该奖项将支持艾米·M博士。圣克拉拉大学Shachter和马里兰州大学Michael P. Doyle博士组织和举办了一个关于“本科生研究中心的实施”的讲习班。 本科生研究中心（URC）计划的目标是测试新模式，让大量一年级和二年级的大学生参与研究，总体目标是确保为未来的科学劳动力提供足够数量的准备充分的化学家。 本次研讨会将提供一个机会，（1）沟通URC计划的目标，并（2）分享关于中心管理，学生招聘和选择，学生评估和计划评估等共同主题的最佳实践。 本次研讨会将汇集不同的参与者，包括特邀演讲者，FY04 URC规划补助金获奖者，以及未来URC提案的其他潜在PI。讲习班的讨论结果将为讲习班报告提供基础，以便更广泛地散发。

This award will support Dr. Amy M. Shachter, Santa Clara University, and Dr. Michael P. Doyle, University of Maryland, to organize and conduct a workshop on "Implementation of Undergraduate Research Centers". The goal of the Undergraduate Research Center (URC) program is to test new models for engaging large numbers of first- and second-year college students in research with the overall goal of ensuring sufficient numbers of well-prepared chemists for the future scientific workforce. This workshop will provide an opportunity to (1) communicate the goals of the URC program and to (2) share best practices on such common themes as center management, student recruitment and selection, student assessment, and program evaluation. This workshop will bring together a diverse group of participants including invited speakers, FY04 URC planning grant awardees, and other potential PIs of future URC proposals. The outcomes of the workshop discussions will provide the basis for a workshop report for greater dissemination.
