Revealing Chemistry Through Advanced Chemical Imaging

该奖项由化学部资助，通过其化学科学和技术委员会向国家研究委员会提供支持，以审查分子成像技术的现状。这将指出有希望的未来发展及其应用，并提出一个研究议程，以实现在多个物理维度和时间上同时成像分子过程的突破性改进。NRC将组建一个专家委员会，审查当前的最先进技术，找出差距，并为化学成像的未来制定愿景。他们将确定满足这一愿景的研究。将讨论有助于推动这一领域取得进展的教育和体制创新。该委员会由来自工业界和学术界的约15名成员组成，将举行会议，与感兴趣的各方进行磋商，并听取两个研讨会的意见。社区将有机会通过网页提供意见。将生成一份针对该领域研究人员的报告，其中包括研究生和联邦项目经理。这份报告将通过通常的核研究委员会机制传播，并永久记录在国家科学院的档案中。

This award funded by the Division of Chemistry provides support to the National Research Council, through its Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology, to conduct a review of the current state of molecular imaging technology. This will point to promising future developments and their applications, and suggest a research agenda to enable breakthrough improvements to image molecular processes simultaneously in multiple physical dimensions as well as time. The NRC will assemble a committee of experts that will review the current state-of-the-art, identify gaps and develop a vision for the future of chemical imaging. They will identify research to meet this vision. Educational and institutional innovations that could help catalyze advances in this field will be discussed. The committee of approximately fifteen members from industry and academe will hold meetings, confer with interested parties and receive input from two workshops. The community will have the opportunity to provide input via a web page. A report will be generated targeted at researchers in the field, including graduate students, and federal program managers. The report will be disseminated by the usual NRC mechanisms and permanently documented in the archives of the National Academy.
