This award by the Chemistry Division will support a workshop entitled: "American Chemical Society Women Chemists of Color Summit." The workshop will coincide with the Fall 2010 National ACS Meeting, in Boston, MA and will bring together chemists to discuss the issues faced by women chemists of color in the chemical workplace, particularly young and mid-career chemists. The heart of the workshop will consist of two symposia, informal networking events, and post-conference networking activities, including via web-based social networks.If the United States is to take full advantage of its native intellectual capital, it must learn mechanisms to develop all of the underutilized sources. In science and technology fields, women and minorities are less prevalent than their fraction in the general population. Efforts like the one funded by the present award are making efforts to learn ways in which underrepresented groups can be recruited into and retained in the technological workforce.

化学部的这一奖项将支持一个名为“美国化学会颜色峰会的女化学家”的研讨会。“该研讨会将与2010年秋季在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的全国ACS会议同时举行，并将召集化学家讨论化学工作场所女性有色人种化学家，特别是年轻和职业中期化学家面临的问题。 研讨会的核心将包括两个专题讨论会、非正式网络活动和会后网络活动，包括通过基于网络的社交网络。如果美国要充分利用其本土智力资本，它必须学习开发所有未充分利用资源的机制。 在科学和技术领域，妇女和少数民族的比例低于其在总人口中的比例。 像本奖项资助的这样的努力正在努力学习如何将代表性不足的群体招募并保留在技术劳动力中。
