Needs and Opportunities for Mid-Scale Instrumentation in Chemistry

化学司支持这个讲习班，题为“需求和机会，中型仪器在化学。“它将于2016年9月29日至30日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。威斯康星州-麦迪逊大学的Robert Hamers教授组建了一个团队来组织这些活动。该研讨会汇集了来自广泛的机构和地理区域的约35名教师的多元化小组，讨论化学科学的研究和教育是否因缺乏“中等规模”范围内的仪器而受到限制。这些讨论侧重于能够满足化学界需求的区域和网络工具。讲习班的目标包括：（1）确定科学进步因缺乏中型仪器而受到严重限制或抑制的化学研究领域，（2）确定中型仪器与区域仪器设施合用的研究领域，这将为化学研究的变革性进步提供机会，（3）教育利益相关者中型仪器如何影响化学科学研究，（4）编写一份研讨会报告，总结与会者的意见，（5）通过公开的书面报告和录像短片向广大科学界传播报告和调查结果。更广泛的影响是通过造福社会的方式来解决的，最大限度地提高公众对化学科学研究和教育的支持的效力。

The Division of Chemistry supports this workshop, entitled "Needs and Opportunities for Mid-Scale Instrumentation in Chemistry." It will be held on September 29-30, 2016 in Arlington, Virginia. Prof. Robert Hamers of the University of Wisconsin - Madison has assembled a team to organize the activities. This workshop brings together a diverse group of approximately 35 faculty from a broad range of institutions and geographic areas to discuss if research and education in the chemical sciences is limited by lack of access to instrumentation in the "mid-scale" range. These discussions focus on the regional and cyber enabled tools that could fill the needs of the chemistry community. Goals of the workshop include: (1) identifying chemistry research areas where scientific progress is significantly limited or inhibited by lack of access to mid-scale instrumentation, (2) identifying research areas in which co-location of mid-scale instrumentation into regional instrumentation facilities would provide opportunities for transformative advances in chemistry research, (3) educating stakeholders on how mid-scale instrumentation could impact research in the chemical sciences, (4) preparing a workshop report summarizing the participants' views, (5) disseminating the report and findings to the broad scientific community via a publicly available, written report and a short video. The broader impacts are addressed by benefiting society in ways that maximize the effectiveness of public support of research and education in the chemical sciences.
