Summer Institutes in Analytical Chemistry

这个项目属于广义的分析化学和表面化学领域。在1988年6月1日至1988年8月9日的十周期间，来自不提供化学博士学位的学院的五名教员将与北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校（UNC）的七名分析和表面化学教员进行合作研究。来自本科院校的研究参与者将从响应北卡罗来纳大学夏季研究项目公告的申请人中选出。这项活动类似于通过美国国家科学基金会研究机会奖（ROAs）对本科院校教师的支持，代表了北卡罗来纳大学对培养具有分析和表面化学领域专业知识的博士化学家的国家危机的一种攻击。在这个项目中，来自本科院校的参与教师不一定预先与北卡罗来纳大学分析学院的教师安排他们的夏季研究活动，而是在他们有机会充分考虑所有参与的东道主院校教师的研究项目后，建立他们的合作安排。除了该活动的研究重点外，北卡罗来纳大学的教师和来自附近三角研究园区工业实验室的科学家将提供一系列讲座，涵盖构成现代分析和表面化学的前沿研究工具和主题，并讨论这一广泛领域的研究机会。此外，来自联邦和私营部门的资助机构的代表，他们对本科院校的高质量研究项目有坚定的支持承诺，他们将向与会者发表讲话，并描述这种支持可以竞争性地寻求的机制。该项目的一个特别重要的目标是协助参与的本科院校的教师开始在美国东南部的四年制院校建立一个重要的学术分析化学家网络，以帮助积极解决吸引杰出的年轻人才从事具有挑战性和技术重要性的问题分析化学和表面化学的分支。

This project is in the area of analytical and surface chemistry, broadly defined. During the ten week period between 1 June 1988 and 9 August 1988, five faculty members from colleges that do not offer the PhD degree in chemistry will carry out collaborative research with seven analytical and surface chemistry faculty members at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). Research participants from the undergraduate institutions will be selected from among applicant who respond to UNC's announcement of the summer research program. This activity is analogous to the support of faculty from undergraduate institutions through NSF Research Opportunity Awards (ROAs) and represents one of UNC's attacks on the national crisis in production of PhD chemists with expertise in the area of analytical and surface chemistry. In this project, participating faculty from the undergraduate institutions will not necessarily have prearranged their summer research activities with UNC analytical 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 members. In addition to the research focus of the activity, UNC faculty and scientists from industrial laboratories in nearby Research Triangle Park will present a series of lectures covering frontier research tools and topics that constitute modern analytical and surface chemistry and discuss research opportunities in this broad field. Also, representatives from funding agencies from both Federal and private sectors that have a strong commitment to the support of quality research programs in undergraduate institutions will address the participants and describe the mechanisms whereby such support can be competitively sought. One particularly important goal of this project is to assist the participating faculty from undergraduate institutions to begin to establish a network of vital academic analytical chemists in four-year institutions in the southeastern United States that can help to address vigorously the problem of attracting outstanding young talent to the challenging and technologically important subfield of analytical and surface chemistry.
