Chemistry (12)Two-year colleges (2YCs) educate a considerable portion of the nation's undergraduates, including those in chemistry and other STEM majors. Furthermore, a substantial proportion of underrepresented ethnic minorities commence their post-secondary education in 2YCs, along with a significant number of future K-12 teachers who complete their science courses in 2YCs. Considering the contribution of 2YCs to the education of the future STEM workforce, it is imperative that 2YCs students receive exceptional science education. The CCLI program is one of the most important NSF program to support innovation in undergraduate chemical education. More than one-third of undergraduates are educated in 2YCs, yet the number of CCLI awards granted to chemistry departments in 2YCs is exceedingly disproportionate. This project is providing 2YC chemistry faculty opportunities to enhance their ability to prepare quality grant proposals intended for submission to the CCLI program. Chemical educators from both 2YCs and four-year institutions who have been successful in acquiring CCLI funding and managing CCLI-funded projects are leading this project. A one and half day workshop, offering 2YC chemistry faculty comprehensive training in grant proposal preparation, is being followed with post-workshop support to assist the participants in CCLI proposal preparation. The project is including no less than twenty percent of participants from underrepresented groups. Furthermore, this project is catalyzing collaboration between the community of 2YC chemistry educators and the leadership within the Chemical Education Research (CER) group, fostering dissemination of the valuable discoveries and methodologies uncovered by the CER leaders, enhancing the capacity of chemists in 2YCs to educate their students.

化学（12）两年制学院（2 YCs）教育了相当一部分国家的本科生，包括那些在化学和其他STEM专业。 此外，代表性不足的少数民族中有相当大比例的人在两个青年学校开始中学后教育，沿着，相当多的未来K-12教师在两个青年学校完成科学课程。 考虑到2 YC对未来STEM劳动力教育的贡献，2 YC学生必须接受特殊的科学教育。CCLI计划是NSF支持本科化学教育创新的最重要计划之一。 超过三分之一的本科生在2 YCs接受教育，但授予化学系的CCLI奖项数量在2 YCs是极不成比例的。 该项目为2 YC化学教师提供机会，以提高他们准备提交给CCLI计划的高质量赠款提案的能力。 来自2 YCs和四年制机构的化学教育工作者成功地获得了CCLI的资助并管理了CCLI资助的项目，他们正在领导这个项目。 一个为期一天半的研讨会，提供2 YC化学教师在赠款提案准备的全面培训，正在与研讨会后的支持，以协助参与者在CCLI提案准备。 该项目包括来自代表性不足群体的不少于20%的参与者。 此外，该项目正在促进2 YC化学教育工作者社区与化学教育研究（CER）小组领导层之间的合作，促进CER领导人发现的有价值的发现和方法的传播，提高2 YC化学家教育学生的能力。
