TECHNICAL SUMMARY:This project, supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program, provides a combined tutorial and summer research program focused in solid-state and materials chemistry designed for rising senior or junior undergraduate students and faculty members from primarily undergraduate institutions that want to increase their knowledge of solid state chemistry. An introductory tutorial, held at the University of Oregon, immerses student and faculty participants in the concepts and applications of solid state chemistry through a series of morning lectures and afternoon hands-on laboratories. The tutorial week includes introductions and hands on use of x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis and a variety of surface analysis techniques. At the close of the tutorial, the participants disperse to their assigned host laboratory for an eight-week research session. The host laboratories are located throughout the United States. At each host laboratory, the individual participant will become an active part of the research team, working on a project assigned by the host. Participants return to Oregon at the end of the research phase for a final symposium where they share their successes, frustrations and overall experiences with their peers through presentations, a poster session and group discussions. This cements the network that formed during tutorial week, and allows the participants to see the breadth and depth of opportunities available in the field of solid state chemistry research. The goal of this program is to increase the number, diversity and caliber of young chemists pursuing graduate studies in the field of solid state and materials chemistry. The program recruits students directly from undergraduate institutions with high minority enrollments and helps faculty at these institutions to incorporate solid state chemistry into their curricula.NON TECHNICAL SUMMARY:This project, supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program, provides a combined tutorial and summer research program focused in solid-state and materials chemistry designed for rising senior or junior undergraduate students and faculty members from primarily undergraduate institutions that want to increase their knowledge of solid state chemistry.

该项目由固态和材料化学计划支持，提供了一个综合教程和夏季研究计划，专注于固态和材料化学，旨在为主要来自本科院校的高年级或低年级本科生和教职员工提供固态化学知识。 在俄勒冈州大学举行的入门教程，通过一系列上午的讲座和下午的动手实验室，使学生和教师参与者沉浸在固态化学的概念和应用中。教程周包括X射线衍射、透射电子显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、电子微探针分析和各种表面分析技术的介绍和实际使用。在教程结束时，参与者分散到他们指定的主机实验室进行为期八周的研究会议。主办实验室位于美国各地。 在每一个主机实验室，个人参与者将成为研究团队的积极组成部分，由主机分配的项目工作。参与者在研究阶段结束时返回俄勒冈州参加最后的研讨会，他们通过演讲，海报会议和小组讨论与同行分享他们的成功，挫折和整体经验。这巩固了在辅导周期间形成的网络，并使参与者能够看到固态化学研究领域的机会的广度和深度。 该计划的目标是增加在固态和材料化学领域进行研究生学习的年轻化学家的数量，多样性和素质。该项目直接从少数民族入学率高的本科院校招收学生，并帮助这些院校的教师将固态化学纳入他们的课程。非技术概要：该项目由固态和材料化学项目支持，提供了一个集中在固态和材料化学方面的综合教程和夏季研究计划，旨在为来自主要本科院校的高年级或低年级本科生和教师提供固态化学知识。 在俄勒冈州大学举行的入门教程，通过一系列上午的讲座和下午的动手实验室，使学生和教师参与者沉浸在固态化学的概念和应用中。参与者可以亲身体验最先进的设备，并向专家学习。 在教程结束时，参与者分散到他们指定的主机实验室进行为期八周的研究体验。 主办实验室位于美国各地，由固态和材料化学领域的领先研究人员监督。 在每一个主机实验室，个人参与者将成为研究团队的积极组成部分，由主机分配的项目工作。参与者在研究阶段结束时返回俄勒冈州参加最后的研讨会，他们通过演讲，海报会议和小组讨论与同行分享他们的成功，挫折和整体经验。这巩固了在辅导周期间形成的网络，并使参与者能够看到固态和材料化学领域的机会的广度和深度。 该计划的目标是增加在固态和材料化学领域进行研究生学习的年轻化学家的数量，多样性和素质。该计划直接从少数民族入学率高的本科院校招收学生，并帮助教师将固态化学纳入他们的课程。
