Open Chemistry Collaborative in Diversity Equity (OXIDE)

这一奖项由国家科学基金会化学部(CHE)颁发，并得到国家卫生研究院(国家普通医学科学研究所)和能源部(基础能源科学)的额外支持，支持佐治亚理工学院的Rigoberto Hernandez教授和他的同事通过开放化学多样性公平合作(Oxide)努力增加美国社会所有成员对化学科学的参与，包括传统上在科学界代表性不足的团体的成员。他们将通过一系列广泛的活动来做到这一点，包括研讨会、对化学系内进行的干预措施的评估，以及广泛传播例如最佳实践。像Hernandez教授和他的同事一样，工作的目的是找到有效的方法，将最有才华的美国人招募和留住到化工企业。这些努力的成功将对美国的经济繁荣和持续竞争力产生深远影响。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) of the National Science Foundation, with additional support from the National Institutes of Health (National Institute of general Medical Sciences) and the Department of Energy (Basic Energy Sciences) supports Prof. Rigoberto Hernandez of the Georgia Institute of Technology and his colleagues in their efforts through the Open Chemistry Collaborative in Diversity Equity (OXIDE) at increasing participation in the chemical sciences by all members of American society, including members of groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. They will do this through a broad series of activities including workshops, assessments of interventions performed within chemistry departments, and broad dissemination of e.g. best practices.Work like that of Prof. Hernandez and his colleagues is aimed at finding effective means for recruitment and retention of the most talented Americans into the chemical enterprise. Success in these efforts will have profound implications for American economic prosperity and continued competitiveness.
