This grant supports a workshop to be held in Arlington, VA in January 2012 on Sustainable Chemistry. The workshop aims to identify key areas where fundamental research in the core disciplines (Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering) is needed to advance the goal of increasing the sustainability of chemical processing and manufacturing. This is expected to include strategies to reduce or eliminate the use of rare elements and other scarce materials, reduce the use of freshwater and energy, and increase the feasibility of recovery/recycling.The workshop will explore multidisciplinary approaches and articulate the need for a systems-level view of sustainability, including science, technology, economics and societal impact. This is likely to require new educational approaches to train the next generation of researchers to incorporate such thinking into their research design. The added value created by funding research efforts that incorporate investigators with different perspectives and from different disciplines will be apparent. The broad recommendations to the scientific community as well as specific examples will be incorporated into a widely available report.

这笔赠款支持将于2012年1月在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行的可持续化学研讨会。该研讨会旨在确定需要在核心学科（化学，化学工程，材料科学和工程）进行基础研究的关键领域，以推进提高化学加工和制造的可持续性的目标。预计这将包括减少或消除使用稀有元素和其他稀缺材料的战略，减少淡水和能源的使用，提高回收/再循环的可行性，讲习班将探讨多学科方法，并阐明需要对可持续性，包括科学、技术、经济和社会影响，采取系统一级的观点。这可能需要新的教育方法来培养下一代研究人员将这种思维纳入他们的研究设计。资助研究工作所创造的附加值将是显而易见的，因为这些研究工作将具有不同的视角和来自不同学科的研究人员纳入其中。向科学界提出的广泛建议以及具体实例将纳入一份广泛分发的报告。
