American Chemical Society Women Chemists of Color Summit

由化学部门颁发的这一奖项将支持一个名为“美国化学会有色人种女性化学家峰会”的研讨会。研讨会将与2010年秋季在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的美国化学学会全国会议同时举行，届时化学家们将齐聚一堂，讨论有色人种女性化学家在化学工作场所面临的问题，尤其是年轻和处于职业生涯中期的化学家。研讨会的核心将包括两个专题讨论会、非正式交流活动和会后交流活动，包括通过基于网络的社交网络。如果美国要充分利用其本土的智力资本，它必须学会开发所有未被充分利用的资源的机制。在科学和技术领域，妇女和少数民族的比例低于其在总人口中的比例。由本奖项资助的项目正在努力学习如何将代表性不足的群体招募到技术劳动力中并将其保留下来。

This award by the Chemistry Division will support a workshop entitled: "American Chemical Society Women Chemists of Color Summit." The workshop will coincide with the Fall 2010 National ACS Meeting, in Boston, MA and will bring together chemists to discuss the issues faced by women chemists of color in the chemical workplace, particularly young and mid-career chemists. The heart of the workshop will consist of two symposia, informal networking events, and post-conference networking activities, including via web-based social networks.If the United States is to take full advantage of its native intellectual capital, it must learn mechanisms to develop all of the underutilized sources. In science and technology fields, women and minorities are less prevalent than their fraction in the general population. Efforts like the one funded by the present award are making efforts to learn ways in which underrepresented groups can be recruited into and retained in the technological workforce.
