This award will provide funding for a 3-day field-based research experience at the Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL). SPL is a Community Instruments & Facilities (CIF) site supported by the NSF Facilities for Atmospheric Research and Education (FARE) program. Sixteen undergraduate students from Colorado College, which is a Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI), will participate. These participants will be students enrolled in an upper-division elective course for Environmental Science majors at Colorado College. The overall goal of this field-based course component is to provide a diverse group of Colorado College undergraduate students majoring in Environmental Science or related subjects with an experiential learning opportunity in atmospheric chemistry. Students participating in the project will be introduced to core facets of the scientific research process, including research question development, field study design, measurement techniques, data analysis, and synthesis of information. A major outcome of this course will be to aid in the preparation of undergraduate Environmental Science and other science, technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) majors at Colorado College for their post-graduation career paths. The proposed project will also contribute to the development of a globally competitive STEM workforce and improved STEM education by providing an educational opportunity that enables students to gain experience and professional skills in environmental instrumentation, field-program design and execution, scientific collaboration, and scientific communication.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项将为在风暴峰实验室（SPL）为期3天的实地研究经验提供资金。SPL是一个由NSF大气研究和教育设施（FARE）计划支持的社区仪器设施（CIF）站点。来自科罗拉多学院的16名本科生将参加。这些参与者将是科罗拉多学院环境科学专业高年级选修课的学生。这个基于实地的课程组成部分的总体目标是提供一个多元化的组科罗拉多大学本科生主修环境科学或相关学科的经验学习机会，在大气化学。参与该项目的学生将被介绍到科学研究过程的核心方面，包括研究问题的开发，实地研究设计，测量技术，数据分析和信息合成。本课程的一个主要成果将是帮助本科环境科学和其他科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）专业在科罗拉多学院为他们的毕业后的职业道路的准备。拟议的项目还将通过提供教育机会，使学生能够获得环境仪器，现场程序设计和执行，科学合作，和科学传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
