Workshop on Mid-Scale Instrument Development in the Chemical Sciences

化学司支持由密歇根州立大学的马科斯·丹图斯教授和圣母大学的保罗·博恩组织的题为“中等规模仪器开发的化学科学需要”的讲习班。这次研讨会汇集了来自广泛机构和地理区域的35名参与者，讨论在“中等规模”范围内使用仪器的机会。这些讨论集中在满足化学界需求的仪器开发活动上。讲习班涉及以下目标：确定国家在化学科学方面对中型仪器开发的需求，围绕化学重大挑战问题组织需求评估，并编写一份报告，具体说明化学领域优先考虑的目标。更广泛的影响是通过传播调查结果和建议来解决的，这些调查结果和建议在美国化学科学界的关键利益攸关方之间展开了更广泛的对话，包括仪器开发商、设施经理和用户，以及支持化学科学的联邦机构。

The Division of Chemistry supports a workshop entitled "Workshop on Chemical Sciences Needs for Mid-Scale Instrument Development" organized by Professor Marcos Dantus of Michigan State University and Paul Bohn of the University of Notre Dame. This workshop brings together a diverse group of 35 participants from a broad range of institutions and geographic areas to discuss opportunities for instrument usage in the "mid-scale" range. These discussions focus on instrument development activities that meet the needs of the chemistry community. Workshop addresses the following objectives: define national needs in the chemical sciences for mid-scale instrument development, organize needs assessment around chemical grand challenge problems, and develop a report specifying prioritized objectives in chemistry. The broader impacts are addressed by dissemination of the findings and recommendations which start a broader conversation among key stakeholders in the US chemical sciences community, including instrument developers, facility managers, and users, as well as federal agencies supporting chemical sciences.
