URC: Undergraduate Research in the Chemistry of Natural and Engineered Materials

该奖项来自化学系，用于资助本科生研究中心(URC)的规划拨款。《少年派》由克里斯塔·霍肯史密斯担任，由《少年派》联合导演G·M·邦德协助。规划拨款将开发一个本科生研究项目，将包括副学士学位授予机构在内的本科学校与更大的研究生学位授予机构联系起来。最初的合作伙伴将是四年制机构、两年制大学、高中人员、位于新墨西哥州的国家实验室，以及包括美洲原住民部落和专业协会在内的其他合作伙伴。学生参与者将从第一代大学生和两年制大学生中抽取，并将服务于新墨西哥州和西南部的大量拉美裔和美洲原住民人口。规划工作将是发展将为城市资源中心和规划讲习班奠定基础的伙伴关系，规划讲习班分为两类：伙伴讲习班和导师讲习班。

The award from the Chemistry Division supports an Undergraduate Research Centers (URC) planning grant. The PI is Christa Hockensmith assisted by co-PI, G. M. Bond. The planning grant will develop an undergraduate research program that links undergraduate schools including associate degree-granting institutions with larger graduate degree granting institutions. Initial partners will be four-year institutions, two-year colleges, high school personnel, national laboratories located in New Mexico, and other partners including Native American tribes and professional societies. The student participants will be drawn from first generation college students and two-year college students, and will serve the large Hispanic and Native American populations in New Mexico and the southwest. The planning exercise will be the development of the partnerships that will provide the foundation of the URC and planning workshops of two types: partner workshops and mentor workshops.
