Open Chemistry Collaborative in Diversity Equity (OXIDE)

该奖项由美国国家科学基金会化学部（CHE）颁发，在国立卫生研究院的额外支持下，（国家普通医学科学研究所）和能源部（基础能源科学）支持格鲁吉亚理工学院的Rigoberto埃尔南德斯教授及其同事通过开放化学多样性平等合作（OXIDE）美国社会的所有成员，包括传统上在科学领域代表性不足的群体的成员，越来越多地参与化学科学。 他们将通过一系列广泛的活动来做到这一点，包括研讨会、评估化学部门内进行的干预措施以及广泛传播最佳实践等。像埃尔南德斯教授和他的同事们这样的工作旨在找到有效的方法，为化学企业招聘和留住最有才华的美国人。 这些努力的成功将对美国的经济繁荣和持续的竞争力产生深远的影响。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) of the National Science Foundation, with additional support from the National Institutes of Health (National Institute of general Medical Sciences) and the Department of Energy (Basic Energy Sciences) supports Prof. Rigoberto Hernandez of the Georgia Institute of Technology and his colleagues in their efforts through the Open Chemistry Collaborative in Diversity Equity (OXIDE) at increasing participation in the chemical sciences by all members of American society, including members of groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. They will do this through a broad series of activities including workshops, assessments of interventions performed within chemistry departments, and broad dissemination of e.g. best practices.Work like that of Prof. Hernandez and his colleagues is aimed at finding effective means for recruitment and retention of the most talented Americans into the chemical enterprise. Success in these efforts will have profound implications for American economic prosperity and continued competitiveness.
