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) supports Terri Taylor and colleagues at the American Chemical Society in their development of educational materials to teach members of the public about chemistry, and its ubiquity in everyday life. The award activities will include engagement with the public at Science Festivals as well as through more formal interaction with teachers. The work includes the development of Challenge Kits for distribution to upper elementary and middle schools, clubs, and other interested members of the general public. The award coincides with the International Year of Chemistry.Work like that of Terri Taylor and her colleagues is aimed at introducing a broad cross-section of American society to this exciting area of research. In addition, connecting young people with current areas of science enables the Foundation to more effectively encourage young people to pursue careers in the science and technology sectors.

这一奖项由国家科学基金会化学部(CHE)颁发，并得到美国国立卫生研究院(National Institute Of Health)的额外支持，支持Terri Taylor和美国化学学会的同事开发教材，向公众讲授化学及其在日常生活中的普遍存在。颁奖活动将包括在科学节上与公众接触，以及通过与教师更正式的互动。这项工作包括开发挑战赛工具包，分发给小学和中学高年级、俱乐部和其他感兴趣的公众成员。该奖项恰逢国际化学年。特里·泰勒和她的同事们的工作旨在将美国社会的广泛领域引入这一令人兴奋的研究领域。此外，将年轻人与当前的科学领域联系起来，使基金会能够更有效地鼓励年轻人在科学和技术部门从事职业。
