National Diversity Equity Workshops 2011

该奖项的主要活动将是一个研讨会，将化学系主任和社会科学家聚集在一起，以更好地了解学术界代表性不足的群体代表性持续下降的根本原因，并调查有效的做法来抵制这一趋势。 为了保持其全球竞争力，美国必须大力开发被忽视的知识人才库。 随着该国人口结构日益多样化，这一点越来越重要。 该讲习班将帮助化学系发展成为利用该国所有知识资本的组织。

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.
