DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for a one-day symposium entitled "Elements in Transition: Are Chemistry and Biochemistry Facing Revolution or Recession?" to be held at the 247th American Chemical Society (ACS) national meeting March 16-20th, 2014 in Dallas, TX. The ACS national meetings routinely draw upwards of 20,000 attendees, due to the numerous and wide variety of technical talks hosted by the many divisions of ACS. These presentations give researchers an opportunity to present their scientific results for peer evaluation, but the scientific system within which such research is conducted is rarely subjected to public assessment and peer review. Therefore, this symposium is designed to assess current and pressing issues in scientific research related to ethics, funding, post-graduate employment, and the impact of technology on publishing in the context of rapid technological growth and economic uncertainty. The symposium will also evaluate the effect that such issues will have on the future of scientific research in health-related fields. This willbe accomplished through informative talks given by a diverse set of experts, with each presentation followed by a brief question and answer (Q&A) session. After all the speakers have addressed their individual topics, a final panel session, where the audience can interact with all of the speakers, is intended to generate an open discussion about the interdependence of these multiple internal and external forces and how the scientific process will ultimately be affected by them. Finally, since many of these issues are potentially polarizing, the symposium day will end with a reception intended to promote informal and relaxed interaction among the attendees and the speakers. At this reception, those who are reluctant to speak in a public forum will have an opportunity to discuss their opinions, and all attendees will be able evaluate the symposium's success through survey.

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案要求部分支持为期一天的题为“转型中的元素：化学和生物化学面临革命还是衰退？”的研讨会。将于2014年3月16日至20日在德克萨斯州达拉斯举行第247届美国化学学会(ACS)全国会议。由于ACS的许多部门举办了数量众多、种类繁多的技术讲座，因此，ACS全国会议通常吸引超过20,000名与会者。这些陈述使研究人员有机会提出他们的科学成果供同行评估，但在其中进行此类研究的科学系统很少受到公众评估和同行审查。因此，本次研讨会旨在评估当前科学研究中的紧迫问题，这些问题涉及伦理、资金、研究生就业，以及在技术快速增长和经济不确定的背景下，技术对出版的影响。研讨会还将评估这些问题对卫生相关领域未来科学研究的影响。这将通过由不同的专家进行内容丰富的演讲来实现，每次演讲之后将有一个简短的问答(Q&A)环节。在所有演讲者都谈完各自的主题之后，最后的小组会议，听众可以与所有演讲者互动，旨在产生一场关于这些多重内部和外部力量的相互依赖的公开讨论，以及科学过程最终将如何受到 他们。最后，由于其中许多问题可能引起两极分化，研讨会日将以旨在促进与会者和发言者之间非正式和轻松互动的招待会结束。在这次招待会上，那些不愿在公共论坛上发言的人将有机会讨论他们的意见，所有与会者都可以通过调查来评价研讨会的成功。
