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.

化学系支持这个题为“化学中型仪器的需求和机遇”的研讨会。将于2016年9月29日至30日在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的罗伯特·哈默斯教授组建了一个团队来组织此次活动。该研讨会汇集了来自广泛机构和地理区域的大约 35 名教员，讨论化学科学的研究和教育是否因缺乏“中等规模”范围的仪器而受到限制。这些讨论重点关注可以满足化学界需求的区域和网络工具。研讨会的目标包括：(1) 确定科学进步因无法获得中型仪器而受到严重限制或抑制的化学研究领域，(2) 确定将中型仪器并入区域仪器的研究领域设施将为化学研究的变革性进步提供机会，(3) 教育利益相关者了解中型仪器如何影响化学科学研究，(4) 准备一份总结参与者观点的研讨会报告，(5) 传播报告和调查结果向广泛科学界通过公开的书面报告和短片。通过最大限度地提高公众对化学科学研究和教育支持的有效性，造福社会，可以解决更广泛的影响。
