IRES TRACK I: THE GLOBAL INSTITUTE FOR CARBON-HYDROGEN FUNCTIONALIZATION (GICHF)

选择性碳氢（C-H）功能化中心（CCHF）将与日本、韩国和德国的研究中心协调和支持一个高度协作的国际交流项目。在交流期间，学生们将参与合作项目，旨在开发以精简和可持续的方式制造分子的新方法。这些新方法将对现代医学和制造业产生影响，包括药物发现和材料科学。该提案建立在之前的NSF跨虚拟研究所（SAVI）计划的基础上，并提供了一个激动人心的机会，利用已经建立的合作纽带，培养真正多样化和全球准备的下一代科学家，他们将受益于一个整合和成功的全球研究集体。将这些国际团队聚集在一起的首要科学主题是碳氢化合物功能化，这是一门处于学术化学研究前沿的科学。这项国际学生研究经验（IRES）提案的目的是建立一个充满活力的培训环境，促进C？H功能化。这将通过一个富有成效的国际研究合作，即全球碳氢化合物功能化研究所（GICHF）来实现。该项目将包括与三个主要国际中心在碳氢官能化综合领域的学生交流和合作。这些中心分别是日本名古屋大学的世界一流国际研究中心倡议（WPI）资助的转化生物分子研究所（WPI- itbm），韩国KAIST的基础科学研究所资助的催化烃功能化中心（IBS-CF），以及德国雷根斯堡大学的光催化中心。每年5月至8月，由3名研究生和5名本科生组成的CCHF学生将与国际合作伙伴进行为期8-12周的交流。CCHF还将接受国际合作伙伴资助的国际学生，以确保合作交流的互惠性。全年的规划将为学生的研究交流做好准备，并确保他们充分利用这些经验。这方面的经验将包括在我们的一个国际合作伙伴轮流主办的GICHF年会。年会将提供一个机会，让来自美国的全体学生和教职员工与我们的国际合作伙伴一起进行为期一周的头脑风暴、社区建设和教育活动。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Center for Selective Carbon - Hydrogen (C-H) Functionalization (CCHF) will coordinate and support a highly collaborative international exchange program with sites in Japan, South Korea and Germany. During the exchanges, students will participate in collaborative projects directed towards developing new approaches to making molecules in a streamlined and sustainable way. These new approaches will have impact on modern medicine and manufacturing, including drug discovery and materials science. This proposal builds upon a previous NSF Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI) program and provides the exciting opportunity to capitalize on the collaborative bonds already established to grow a truly diverse and globally prepared next generation of scientists that benefit from an integrated and successful global research collective. The overarching scientific theme that brings these international teams together is C-H functionalization, a science that is at the leading edge of academic chemical research.The aim of this International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) proposal is to establish a vibrant training environment for collaborative global research in the general field of C?H functionalization. This will be achieved by means of a productive international research collaborative, the Global Institute for C-H Functionalization (GICHF). This program will involve student exchanges and collaborations between the CCHF and three major international centers in the general field of C-H functionalization. These centers are the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI)-funded Institute for Transformative Bio-Molecule (WPI-ITbM) at Nagoya University, Japan, the Institutes for Basic Sciences-funded Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalizations (IBS-CF) at KAIST, South Korea, and the Photocatalysis Center based at the University of Regensburg, Germany. Each year a cohort of CCHF students, consisting of 3 graduate and 5 undergraduate students will perform 8-12 week exchanges between May-August with the international partners. The CCHF will also host international students, funded by the international partners, to ensure reciprocity in the collaborative exchanges. Programming throughout the year will be in place to prepare the students for the research exchanges and to ensure they make the most of these experiences. The experience will include a GICHF annual meeting, which will be hosted, on a rotating basis, at one of our international partners. The annual meeting will serve as an opportunity to bring together the entire student cohort as well as faculty from the United States, for a week-long brainstorming, community building, and educational event with our international partners.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
