National Diversity Equity Workshops 2011

该奖项的主要活动将是一次讲习班，聚集化学系主任和社会科学家，以更好地了解学术界代表性不足群体继续减少的根本原因，并调查有效的做法，以扭转这一趋势。为了保持全球竞争力，美国必须大力挖掘被忽视的智力人才库。随着中国的人口结构变得越来越多样化，这一点变得越来越重要。研讨会将帮助化学系发展成为利用国家所有智力资本的组织。

The primary activity of this award will be a workshop bringing together chemistry department chairs and social scientists to develop a better understanding of the underlying causes for the continued reduced representation by of underrepresented groups in academia and to investigate effective practices to counteract this trend. In order to maintain its global competitiveness, the United States must work vigorously to tap neglected pools of intellectual talent. This is increasingly important as the country's demographics become increasingly diverse. The workshop will help chemistry departments to evolve into organizations that draw upon all of the intellectual capital of the country.
