Discovery Corps Senior Fellowship: Collaboration in Biofuel Research and Biorefining in the US and Brazil

布拉德利·米勒，美国化学学会，2006-2007学年Discovery Corps高级研究员。米勒建议发起并维持美国和巴西化学研究人员之间的交流与合作，特别是那些在生物燃料和生物精炼方面具有专长的研究人员。他的项目包括一组美国科学家对巴西进行为期两周的实地考察，在各自的国家专业会议上举行美巴联合专题讨论会，以及两次关于生物可再生能源化学的网络研讨会。这个探索队高级奖学金是由化学部、多学科活动办公室和国际科学与工程办公室支持的。探索队奖学金计划是一个试点项目，旨在寻求新的博士后和专业发展模式，将研究专长与专业服务相结合。探索队成员通过解决国家需要领域的项目利用他们的研究专长。他们的项目提高了研究能力和基础设施，有助于劳动力发展和创造就业机会。探索队项目同时支持博士后和高级研究员。

Bradley Miller, American Chemical Society, is a Discovery Corps Senior Fellow for the 2006-2007 academic year. Miller proposes to initiate and sustain exchange and collaboration between U.S. and Brazilian chemistry researchers, particularly those with expertise in biofuels and biorefining. His project includes a two-week site visit to Brazil by a group of US scientists, joint US-Brazil symposia to be held at the respective national professional meetings, and two web-based seminars on the chemistry of biorenewables. This Discovery Corps Senior Fellowship is supported by the Division of Chemistry, the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities and the Office of International Science and Engineering. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is a pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Fellows leverage their research expertise through projects that address areas of national need. Their projects enhance research capacity and infrastructure and contribute to workforce development and job creation. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.
