Student and Faculty Travel Grant: Broadening Participation in the Council for Chemical Research Annual Meeting 2006

化学分部奖支持学生和教师前往化学研究理事会年会，该会议将于2006年4月30日至5月3日在亚利桑那州图森举行。20名研究生将参与会议的各个方面，并协助分组会议主席促进讨论。这些参与者将包括来自代表性不足群体的学生。将邀请12名来自拥有本科化学和/或化学工程专业的少数族裔服务机构的教师，他们目前不是化学研究委员会的成员。教职员工和研究生都将从与学术界，工业界和政府的研究领导者的接触中受益，讨论影响化学和化学工程社区的重大研究和教育相关问题。学生们将受益于与他们的讨论小组活动相关的网络联系和领导技能。化学研究委员会将受益于通常不参加本次会议的学生和教师的广泛参与和见解。多学科活动办公室、数学和物理科学理事会、化学和运输系统司、工程理事会共同资助了该奖项。

The Chemistry Division award supports student and faculty travel to the Council of Chemical Research annual meeting to be held April 30 - May 3, 2006 in Tucson, AZ. Twenty graduate students will participate in all aspects of the meeting and assist the breakout session chairs in facilitating discussions. These participants will include students from underrepresented groups. Twelve faculty members from minority serving institutions that have undergraduate chemistry and/or chemical engineering programs and are not current members of the Council of Chemical Research will be invited. Both faculty members and graduate students will benefit intellectually from contact with research leaders from academia, industry and government in discussions on significant research and education related issues affecting the chemistry and chemical engineering community. The students will benefit from networking contacts and leadership skills related to their discussion group activities. The Council of Chemical Research will benefit from the broadened participation and insights that the students and faculty who ordinarily do not attend this meeting will bring. The Office of Multidisciplinary Activities, Mathematics and Physical Sciences Directorate and the Division of Chemical and Transport Systems, Engineering Directorate cofund this award.
