With this award, the NSF Division of Chemistry supports the National Academy of Sciences in their efforts to develop a workshop on the Culture of Safety. This workshop will bring physical scientists and administrators together with experts from the social and behavioral sciences communities to determine how to effect a meaningful change in the culture and attitude toward safety in non-industrial chemical research laboratories. The objective of the workshop is to provide practical guidance on how all participants in the chain of responsibility for laboratory safety can build an environment where safe practice is the expected norm and is routinely given primacy over other research activities. This workshop will meet the need for a more in-depth, interdisciplinary exploration of laboratory safety in non-industrial chemistry laboratories. It will compare practice in these settings with practice from other sectors known for managing high risk, and with knowledge of the behavioral science literature. A report on the best practices to create and maintain satisfactory safety culture will be produced. The Culture of Safety Workshop will enhance infrastructure for research through its impacts on improved safety in non-industrial laboratories. It particular, it will provide information and guidance that will be useful to university administrators, department chairs, and faculty as they seek to build an environment and mindset of safe practice by improving research experiences at both the graduate and undergraduate level. Society at large is expected to benefit by reducing the risks to individuals and communities from unsafe lab practices and by enabling a cadre of researchers who are better prepared to assume positions in private sector research.

通过该奖项，NSF化学部支持美国国家科学院开展有关安全文化的研讨会的努力。 该研讨会将把物理科学家和管理人员与社会和行为科学社区的专家一起确定如何实现非工业化学研究实验室对安全的文化和对安全态度的有意义变化。 研讨会的目的是提供有关实验室安全链接中所有参与者的参与者如何建立一个安全实践的环境，并经常赋予其他研究活动至关重要的环境。该研讨会将满足非工业化学实验室实验室安全的更深入，跨学科探索的需求。 它将在这些环境中的实践与以管理高风险以及对行为科学文献知识而闻名的其他部门的实践进行比较。 将制定有关创建和维持令人满意的安全文化的最佳实践的报告。 安全研讨会的文化将通过影响非工业实验室安全性的影响来增强基础设施以进行研究。 特别是，它将提供信息和指导，这些信息和指导将对大学管理者，部门主席和教职员工有用，因为他们试图通过改善研究生和本科层面的研究经验来建立安全实践的环境和心态。 预计整个社会将通过从不安全的实验室实践中降低个人和社区的风险，并启用一群更好地准备在私营部门研究中担任职位的研究人员，从而受益。
