This award will support the participation of undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows at the national annual meeting for the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) conference in 2022. This award is funded by Division of Chemistry. The NOBCChE meeting has become an important conference to recruit diverse global leaders in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields and to create an inclusive environment in the broader scientific community. This conference will be held in person in 2022, for the first time since the COVID pandemic began. The PIs will use this as an opportunity to compare student outcomes between live and virtual conferences, providing insight that would be impactful to many other scientists and educators in STEM fields.This award will provide opportunities for participants to engage in four major areas of focus: (1) STEM Professional and Technical Development, (2) STEM Mentoring and Networking Opportunities, (3) Exposure to Prestigious Minority Models in STEM, and Academic and Professional STEM Career Advancement Opportunities, and (4) access to potential careers in the STEM workforce. Student participants will interact with peers and professionals from industry, government, and academia to develop collaborations and to explore opportunities to pursue graduate degrees in the chemistry, chemical engineering and related disciplines. NOBCChE 2022 will also serve to enrich the technical, professional, and leadership skill sets of student attendees and students working on committees with other senior leaders on conference planning and execution.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.

该奖项将支持本科生、研究生和博士后研究员参加2022年全国黑人化学和化学工程师职业促进组织(NOBCChE)会议的年度会议。该奖项由化学系资助。NOBCChE会议已经成为一次重要的会议，旨在招募科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的不同全球领导者，并在更广泛的科学界创造一个包容各方的环境。这次会议将于2022年亲自举行，这是自新城疫大流行开始以来的第一次。PIS将利用这一机会比较现场会议和虚拟会议之间的学生成果，提供将对许多其他STEM领域的科学家和教育工作者产生影响的洞察力。该奖项将为参与者提供参与四个主要重点领域的机会：(1)STEM专业和技术发展，(2)STEM指导和网络机会，(3)接触STEM中著名的少数民族模型，以及学术和专业STEM职业发展机会，以及(4)获得STEM劳动力中潜在的职业机会。学生参与者将与来自行业、政府和学术界的同行和专业人士互动，以发展合作并探索在化学、化学工程和相关学科攻读研究生学位的机会。NOBCChE 2022还将有助于丰富学生与会者和与其他高级领导人一起在会议规划和执行委员会工作的学生的技术、专业和领导技能。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
