This project is increasing the number of professional chemists and biochemists by (1) educating high school students on opportunities in chemical sciences through a number of seeding the pipeline events designed to stimulate interest in the chemical sciences, (2) providing financial support for approximately 48 financially needy students who intend to make chemistry their career, and (3) providing a strong support network for the students during their college career. Recruiting efforts are focusing on a consortium of partner schools having a high proportion of financially needy, minority and first generation students. The project is awarding scholarships of up to $3,000 per year to approximately 30 students majoring in the Chemical Technology Program at two-year regional campuses and up to $7,500 per year to approximately 18 chemistry or biochemistry majors on the main campus. Students on the regional campuses will either complete an A.A.S. degree in Chemical Technology or transfer to the main campus to complete a 4-year degree program. The broader impact of this work lies in its attention to the pipeline issue in science education and the workforce. It is benefiting economically disadvantaged students, many of whom are likely to be from groups that are underrepresented in the sciences. It takes advantage of already established programs at the institution that have excellent track records of minority recruitment.

（1）通过（1）通过多种播种旨在激发化学科学兴趣的管道活动来教育化学科学的机会，从而增加了专业化学家和生物化学家的数量，（2）为大约48名经济有需要的学生提供财务支持，他们打算在化学上为他们的职业提供强大的支持，并在大学期间为学生提供强大的支持网络。招聘工作的重点是由伙伴学校的财团组成，拥有很高的经济需要，少数群体和第一代学生。该项目将每年授予最高3,000美元的奖学金，向大约30名在两年地区校园的化学技术计划主修的学生，每年高达7,500美元，在主校区约18个化学或生物化学专业。区域校园的学生要么完成A.A.S.化学技术学位或转移到主校园以完成4年学位课程。这项工作的更广泛影响在于它注意科学教育和劳动力中的管道问题。它使经济上不利的学生受益，其中许多可能来自科学中代表性不足的群体。它利用该机构已经建立的计划，具有出色的少数族裔招聘记录。
