Workshop on Physical Organic Chemistry

物理有机化学研讨会是一个年度会议，讨论的主题涵盖生物有机化学，高分子化学，材料化学，气相反应，机械有机化学和超分子化学。虽然主题范围很广，但研讨会所涵盖的领域已经发展到不仅包括物理有机化学家，还包括那些使用物理有机化学家开发的方法，合成策略和工具的人。参加研讨会的人数限制在20人左右，他们都就新的、未发表的研究成果进行了非正式的讨论。会议在偏远地点举行，以尽量减少干扰并鼓励非正式讨论。我们的目标是提供一个安全的环境，在那里可以讨论前沿研究和交流思想的论坛。作出了巨大努力，以创造一个多元化的环境，参与者将包括妇女，代表性不足的群体，年轻的调查员，和高级调查员。有机和高分子化学计划（OMC）的这一奖项支持正在进行的物理有机化学研讨会，该研讨会由洛杉矶的加州大学的Miguel Garcia-Garibay教授，犹他州大学的Sheila大卫教授，以及位于阿默斯特的马萨诸塞州大学的文森特·罗特罗。讲习班将提供产生新想法的机会，并促进合作。该研讨会通过确定新的研究领域和帮助开发新的年轻研究人员，他们将成为国家科学基金会的新获奖者，评审员和顾问，使OMC计划受益。

The Workshop on Physical Organic Chemistry is an annual conference for the discussion of topics that spans bioorganic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials chemistry, gas-phase reactions, mechanistic organic chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. Although the range of topics is broad, the field covered by the workshop has grown to include not only physical organic chemists but those who use the methodology, synthetic strategy, and tools developed by physical organic chemists. Attendance at the workshop is limited to about twenty participants, all of whom present informal talks on new, unpublished research results. Conferences are held at remote sites in order to minimize distractions and encourage informal discussions. The goal is to provide a safe environment where cutting-edge research can be discussed and a forum for the exchange if ideas. A strong effort is made to create a diverse environment of participants that will include women, underrepresented groups, young investigators, and senior investigators. Attention is also paid to including researchers from diverse geographical areas and from both small and large schools.This award from the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program (OMC) supports the on-going Workshops on Physical Organic Chemistry, which is organized by the co-PIs, Professors Miguel Garcia-Garibay of the University of California at Los Angeles, Sheila David at the University of Utah, and Vincent Rotello at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The Workshop will provide opportunities for the generation of new ideas, and facilitate collaborations. The Workshop benefits the OMC Program by identifying new research areas and by helping to develop new, young investigators who will become new awardees, reviewers and advisors for the National Science Foundation.
