Faculty Development Award

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这个教师发展奖支持研究、教学和推广的有效整合。研究目标是在明确定义的晶体网络中研究新的超分子组装并了解它们的动力学。所研究的系统是“分子陀螺仪”，表现出相关或“齿轮”旋转。教育和推广目标包括促进本科研究和启动一个支持少数民族学生的指导网络。探索队奖学金计划支持博士后和专业发展模式，将研究专长与专业服务相结合。探索队博士后有资格申请本学院发展奖。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This Faculty Development Award supports the effective integration of research, teaching and outreach. The research goals are to investigate novel supramolecular assemblies in well-defined crystalline networks and to understand their dynamics. The systems under study are "molecular gyroscopes" that exhibit correlated or "geared" rotations. The education and outreach goals include promoting undergraduate research and initiating a mentoring network that will support minority students. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program supported postdoctoral and professional development models that combined research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellows are eligible to apply for this Faculty Development Award.
