Part 1: A nontechnical description.Environmental and green chemistry are becoming high priority and even pivotal issues with depletion of natural resources (e.g., petroleum) and increase of society's environmental footprint on a global scale. The IRES Interdisciplinary Environmental and Green Applications in Chemistry (IEGAC) program is the cooperative effort between research universities at North Dakota and Czech research Institutions addressing such environmental and green chemistry applications. The program encompasses novel environmental analytical methods, biotechnology processes as well as development of green organocatalysts. Each year, four undergraduate students and one graduate student will participate in an 8-week summer research experience at several premiere research institutions in Prague, Czech Republic, including the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Charles University (CUNI), the Department of Biotechnology, University of Chemical Technology (UCT), and Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry (IOCB) of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The essential component of the program is exposure of participating students from the rural US Midwest to a global, multicultural, and interdisciplinary environment. This will further be promoted by interactive pre- and post-travel coursework, which will be designed to create effective research teams that work together throughout the experience. The students will be trained to effectively communicate their research results on several levels, including poster presentations at regional and national conferences and peer reviewed papers. The dissemination of the results at various levels is an essential element with commitment from all researchers involved. The research and cultural impact of the IEGAC program will also be communicated professionally by both students and mentors alike through online social media to the community. Overall, this program will provide outstanding professional development for its participating students and propel many toward graduate studies and careers in environmental and green chemistry that are in critical need.Part 2: A technical description. The IRES Interdisciplinary Environmental and Green Applications in Chemistry (IEGAC) program is the cooperative effort between research universities at North Dakota and Czech research institutions. The program encompasses novel environmental analytical methods, biotechnology processes, as well as development of green synthetic organocatalysts. Each year, four undergraduate students and one graduate student will participate in an 8-week summer research experience at several premiere research institutions in Prague, Czech Republic, including the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Charles University (CUNI), the Department of Biotechnology, University of Chemical Technology (UCT), and Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry (IOCB) of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The specific interdisciplinary research projects at CUNI include development of DNA-modified electrochemical sensors for organic pollutants led by Dr. Vyskocil, development of capillary electrophoretic methods for simultaneous determination of target cations and anions led by Dr. Krizek, and development of new toxic-metal volatilization approaches for ultratrace atomic spectroscopic determinations led by Dr. Hranicek. Applied environmental chemistry leading to more effective biotechnology processes will be addressed by the UCT researchers; specifically, Dr. Halecky studying biofiltration of complex model mixtures and Dr. Branyik investigating microalgal biosorption. Finally, Dr. Jahn at IOCB will offer a green chemistry project for students interested in the synthetic development of a new class of bifunctional organocatalysts based on non-natural polyfunctional amino acids.The essential feature of the project is pre- and post- research experience for students ensuring enhanced interaction of Czech and US mentors as effective teams potentially expanding the research collaborations established through this grant. Th IEGAC program will provide outstanding professional development for its participating students and propel many toward graduate studies and careers in environmental and green chemistry that are in critical need.

第1部分：非技术描述。环境和绿色化学反应已成为自然资源耗尽（例如石油）和在全球范围内增加社会环境足迹的高优先事项，甚至是关键问题。 IRES跨学科环境和化学中的绿色应用程序（IEGAC）计划是北达科他州的研究大学与捷克研究机构之间的合作努力，涉及这种环境和绿色化学应用。该计划包括新型的环境分析方法，生物技术过程以及绿色有机催化剂的开发。每年，四名本科生和一名研究生将在捷克共和国布拉格的多家首屈一指的研究机构中参加为期8周的夏季研究经验，包括查尔斯大学分析化学系（CUNI），化学技术科技系生物技术学系（UCT），有机化学和生物学学院（CIOCBECH）（CIOCECH）该计划的重要组成部分是将参加的学生从美国中西部农村地区接触到全球，多元文化和跨学科的环境。交互式前和旅行后的课程将进一步促进这一点，该课程将旨在创建在整个体验中共同努力的有效研究团队。这些学生将接受培训，以有效地在多个层面上传达其研究结果，包括在区域和国家会议上的海报演示以及同行评审的论文。在各个层面上传播结果是所有研究人员的承诺的基本要素。 IEGAC计划的研究和文化影响也将通过在线社交媒体通过在线社交媒体向社区进行专业传达。总体而言，该计划将为参与的学生提供杰出的专业发展，并推动许多人朝着迫切需要的环境和绿色化学方面的研究生学习以及职业。第2部分：技术描述。 IRES跨学科环境和化学中的绿色应用程序（IEGAC）计划是北达科他州研究所与捷克研究机构之间的合作努力。该计划涵盖了新型的环境分析方法，生物技术过程以及绿色合成器官催化剂的开发。每年，四名本科生和一名研究生将在捷克共和国布拉格的多家首屈一指的研究机构中参加为期8周的夏季研究经验，包括查尔斯大学分析化学系（CUNI），化学技术科技系生物技术学系（UCT），有机化学和生物学学院（CIOCBECH）（CIOCECH） The specific interdisciplinary research projects at CUNI include development of DNA-modified electrochemical sensors for organic pollutants led by Dr. Vyskocil, development of capillary electrophoretic methods for simultaneous determination of target cations and anions led by Dr. Krizek, and development of new toxic-metal volatilization approaches for ultratrace atomic spectroscopic determinations led by Dr. Hranicek. UCT研究人员将解决应用环境化学的应用，从而实现更有效的生物技术过程。具体而言，Halecky博士研究了复杂模型混合物的生物过滤和研究微藻生物吸附的Branyik博士。最后，IOCB的Jahn博士将为对基于非天然多功能氨基酸的新型双功能有机催化剂的合成开发感兴趣的学生提供绿色化学项目。该项目的基本特征是研究前和研究后的研究经验，可为学生提供阵容和US的辅导员的互动，以增强的团队作为有效的团队作为潜在的研究，以扩大该研究的合作，以扩大该研究的合作。 IEGAC计划将为参与的学生提供出色的专业发展，并推动许多人朝着迫切需要的环境和绿色化学方面的研究生学习和职业。
