Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Chemical Analysis

这个建议是在一般领域的分析和表面化学，广义的定义。在1987年6月1日至1987年8月31日的十周期间，来自不提供化学博士学位的学院和大学的五名教员将与田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校化学系的教员进行分析化学方面的合作研究。来自本科院校的研究参与者将从响应UTK夏季研究计划公告的申请人中选出。这项活动类似于通过研究机会奖（ROAs）支持本科院校的教师。然而，在这种情况下，来自本科院校的参与教师不一定会与特定的UTK教师预先安排他们的夏季研究活动。相反，他们将在有机会充分考虑东道国参与教师的所有研究项目后建立合作安排。除了这个项目的研究活动外，UTK的教师和来自橡树岭国家实验室的科学家将提供一系列教程，涵盖构成现代化学分析的当前研究工具和主题。此外，来自联邦和私营部门资助机构的代表，他们对支持本科院校的高质量研究项目有坚定的承诺，他们将向与会者发表讲话，并描述如何竞争性地寻求这种支持的机制。有强烈的迹象表明，这种类型的活动可以对参与者本国机构的基础设施以及分析化学和表面化学分学科的基础设施作出重大贡献。

This proposal is in the general area of analytical and surface chemistry, broadly defined. During a ten week period between 1 June 1987 and 31 August 1987, five faculty members from colleges and universities that do not offer the PhD degree in chemistry will carry out collaborative research in analytical chemistry with faculty members from the Department of Chemistry of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK). Research participants from the undergraduate institutions will be selected from applicants who respond to UTK's announcement of the summer research program. This activity is analogous to the support of undergraduate institution faculty through Research Opportunity Awards (ROAs). In this case, however, participating faculty from the undergraduate institutions will not have necessarily prearranged their summer research activities with particular UTK faculty members. Rather, they will establish their collaborative arrangements after they have had an opportunity to consider fully all of the research programs of the host institution participating faculty. In addition to the research activities of this program, UTK faculty and scientists from nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory will present a series of tutorials covering current resarch tools and topics that constitute modern chemical analysis. Also, representatives from Federal and private sector funding agencies that have strong commitments to the support of quality research programs in undergraduate institutions will address the participants and describe mechanisms whereby such support can be competitively sought. There is strong indication that this type of activity can contribute significantly to the infrastructure of the participants' home institutions as well as to the infrastructure of the subdiscipline of analytical and surface chemistry.
