This project will investigate new strategies to enhance the participation of chemistry faculty at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) in research supported by the Chemistry Division of the National Science Foundation. The primary activity of this award will be an annual workshop for faculty at these institutions to help them to develop competitive proposals for programs in the Chemistry Division. The overall goal is to cultivate research-active faculty at these institutions -- institutions that are responsible for the training of significant numbers of baccalaureate students from groups that have been underrepresented in the sciences. In order to maintain its global competitiveness, the United States must work vigorously to tap neglected pools of intellectual talent. Students from underrepresented groups are, by definition, represented at lower rates than their fraction of the population. In academia, large fractions of B.S. level chemists from underrepresented groups, receive their training in minority-serving institutions, yet the funding for research at these institutions is low. This award will support the efforts of QEM to help faculty at these institutions develop competitive proposals for submission. The hope is to create a critical mass of research-active faculty at these institutions to guarantee that graduates from these institutions receive excellent training in modern chemical research.

该项目将调查新的策略，以增强化学教职员工在国家科学基金会化学部支持的研究中，在少数派服务机构（MSIS）中参与。 该奖项的主要活动将是这些机构教师的年度研讨会，以帮助他们制定化学部门计划的竞争建议。 总体目标是在这些机构中培养研究活性的教师，这些机构负责培训来自科学中代表性不足的小组的大量学士学位学生。为了保持其全球竞争力，美国必须大力努力利用被忽视的知识分子池。 从定义上讲，来自代表性不足的群体的学生的比率低于其人口的比例。 在学术界，B.S.的很大一部分来自代表性不足的团体的水平化学家接受了在少数派服务机构的培训，但这些机构的研究资金却很低。 该奖项将支持QEM努力帮助这些机构的教师制定竞争性提交建议。 希望在这些机构中创建大量的研究活性教师，以确保这些机构的毕业生在现代化学研究方面接受了出色的培训。
