0958928PollockThis award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Major Research Instrumentation Recovery and Reinvestment (MRI-R2) Program grant supports acquisition of an x-ray diffractometer (XRD) and an x-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF) to enhance faculty and undergraduate research at the College of Wooster, an independent liberal arts college in northeast Ohio. Two of the PIs (Pollock and Judge) are new NSF PIs, a goal of the NSF for the expenditure of ARRA funds. The XRD and XRF will support mineral phase identification, crystallographic structure refinements and elemental analysis of natural materials, respectively. PI and student research in igneous petrology, environmental chemistry, materials science, paleoclimate and archaeology will take advantage of the requested instrumental capabilities. The College of Wooster maintains an independent study requirement for all students and the XRD and XRF will support student research training. The PIs will integrate instrumental experience into existing outreach programs that target middle school girls, high school students, and local teachers. ***

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。这项主要研究仪器回收和再投资（MRI-R2）计划资助购买了一台x射线衍射仪（XRD）和一台x射线荧光光谱仪（XRF），以加强伍斯特学院（俄亥俄州东北部的一所独立文理学院）的教师和本科生的研究。其中两个pi （Pollock和Judge）是新的NSF pi，这是NSF为ARRA基金支出的一个目标。XRD和XRF将分别支持矿物相鉴定、晶体结构细化和天然材料的元素分析。在火成岩岩石学，环境化学，材料科学，古气候和考古学方面的PI和学生研究将利用所需的仪器能力。伍斯特学院对所有学生都有独立的学习要求，XRD和XRF将支持学生的研究培训。这些指导员将把乐器演奏的经验整合到现有的面向初中生、高中生和当地教师的外展项目中。＊＊＊
