Faculty Development Award

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该教师发展奖支持研究，教学和推广的有效整合。研究目的是利用扫描电子显微镜和X射线荧光光谱仪对青铜雕塑表面腐蚀产物进行表征。这将使人们更深入地了解原始和污染环境中的自然铜锈过程，并为艺术品保护者提供更好的保护方法。教育和推广目标还通过开发社区艺术保护的顶点课程，将化学和艺术结合起来。这门课程将允许科学专业的学生将他们在专业中学到的知识应用于社区挑战。探索队奖学金计划支持博士后和专业发展模式，结合专业服务的研究专长。探索队博士后研究员有资格申请这个教师发展奖。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Faculty Development Award supports the effective integration of research, teaching and outreach. The research goals are to characterize the surface corrosion products formed on bronze sculptures using scanning electron microscopy and x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. This will provide a deeper understanding of the natural patination processes in pristine and polluted environments and also lead to better preservation methods for art conservators. The education and outreach goals also integrate chemistry and art by developing a capstone course on community art conservation. This course will allow science majors to apply what they have learned in their major to a community challenge. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program supported postdoctoral and professional development models that combined research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellows are eligible to apply for this Faculty Development Award.
