项目摘要

This project will investigate new strategies to enhance the participation of chemistry faculty at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) in research supported by the Chemistry Division of the National Science Foundation. The primary activity of this award will be an annual workshop for faculty at these institutions to help them to develop competitive proposals for programs in the Chemistry Division. The overall goal is to cultivate research-active faculty at these institutions -- institutions that are responsible for the training of significant numbers of baccalaureate students from groups that have been underrepresented in the sciences. In order to maintain its global competitiveness, the United States must work vigorously to tap neglected pools of intellectual talent. Students from underrepresented groups are, by definition, represented at lower rates than their fraction of the population. In academia, large fractions of B.S. level chemists from underrepresented groups, receive their training in minority-serving institutions, yet the funding for research at these institutions is low. This award will support the efforts of QEM to help faculty at these institutions develop competitive proposals for submission. The hope is to create a critical mass of research-active faculty at these institutions to guarantee that graduates from these institutions receive excellent training in modern chemical research.

该项目将研究新的策略，以加强少数族裔服务机构（MSI）的化学教师参与美国国家科学基金会化学部支持的研究。该奖项的主要活动是为这些机构的教师举办年度研讨会，帮助他们为化学系的项目制定有竞争力的提案。总体目标是在这些机构中培养活跃于研究的教师队伍，这些机构负责培训大量来自科学领域代表性不足的群体的学士学位学生。为了保持其全球竞争力，美国必须大力开发被忽视的知识人才库。根据定义，来自代表性不足群体的学生的比例低于其在人口中的比例。在学术界，大部分 B.S.来自代表性不足群体的化学家在为少数族裔服务的机构中接受培训，但这些机构的研究经费很低。该奖项将支持 QEM 的努力，帮助这些机构的教师制定有竞争力的提案以供提交。我们希望在这些机构中培养出足够数量的活跃于研究领域的教师队伍，以保证这些机构的毕业生接受现代化学研究方面的优秀培训。
