Nontechnical AbstractOur goal is to train a cohort of early-stage chemistry and chemical engineering graduate students to the connecting M3 cycle consisting of synthesis (Make), innovative measurements (Measure) and system modeling and sustainable operation (Model), in the context of applied chemistry in Germany. This M3 cycle is critically important in modern chemistry as it represents the most effective way to achieve rapid advances in chemical synthesis and the understanding of chemical transformations, yet this cycle is not broadly implemented in the U.S. chemical science curriculum. The proposed educational excursion will train students to better understand the interrelationship between academia and industry, as well as intercultural differences that they will encounter in a global economy. We aim to use this educational approach as an attractor to recruit highly motivated doctoral students who wish to specialize in innovative measurements, while helping them connect to the broader concept of the M3 cycle, and so contribute to society as interdisciplinary and intercultural ambassadors. There is an intertwined need in chemistry education: (i) to train the next generation experts in advanced and new chemical measurement technology, and (ii) to teach them how to conduct, view and present their specialized and novel measurement methods in the context of problems of utmost interest to chemistry, at the nexus of science discovery and societal needs. Graduate students who have carried out their studies at the M3 interface will undoubtedly think differently as leaders in their field and have a better understanding to connect to the German chemistry landscape. The successes of the M3 educational experience is expected to help inform the development of new courses and emphases for chemistry graduate programs.Technical AbstractExpert groups in advanced magnetic resonance at University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB) (Han), University of California-Berkeley (UCB)(Reimer), University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA)(Bouchard) and the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH)in Aachen, Germany (Blümich) joined together to pool their advanced analytical tools to work on integrated problem-solving in a three-way M3 cycle, in synergistic collaboration with chemistry and engineering colleagues to concentrate their efforts on the training of a cohort of graduate students. Several research groups at the RWTH Aachen University are ideal partners to pursue this educational endeavor, not only because the RWTH is ranked #1 in forging chemistry-engineering partnerships, but also because there are strong existing multi-PI collaborations between the UCLA/UCSB/UCB and RWTH PIs that the IRES fellows can immerse themselves in. A cohort of 5-7 graduate students per year will be selected and recruited in the first year of their doctoral studies, with the goal to integrate their research and training in the M3 cycle throughout their entire graduate career with leveraging support and collaborative backing. These select students will be prepared pre-departure with weekly online sessions on the German language and culture. The IRES cohort will gather at UCSB for an orientation conference ahead of their departure and travel to Aachen in the summer following the first year of their doctoral studies. The expected outcome is that the graduate students have gained hands-on experience on how to accelerate the discovery and triaging of chemical, materials and system parameters and how to design reaction pathways given a set of starting chemicals. This learning process and evolution will be shared at an annual workshop involving current and past IRES fellows. The effectiveness of the IRES fellows program will be evaluated, and their professional connection within the cohort and the collaborators maintained through social media.

非技术抽象的目标是在德国应用化学的背景下，培训由合成（Make），创新测量（测量）以及系统建模和可持续性操作（MAKE），创新测量（测量）以及系统建模和可持续性操作（MAKE）组成的M3周期的连接。该M3周期在现代化学中至关重要，因为它代表了实现化学合成快速进步和对化学转化的理解的最有效方法，但是在美国化学科学课程中并未广泛实施该周期。拟议的教育之旅将培训学生，以更好地了解学术界与工业之间的相互关系，以及他们在全球经济中将遇到的跨文化差异。我们的目标是将这种教育方法作为吸引者，以招募希望专门研究创新测量的高度积极进取的博士生，同时帮助他们与M3周期的更广泛的概念联系起来，从而为社会做出跨学科和跨文化大使的贡献。化学教育方面有一条交织的需求：（i）培训高级和新的化学测量技术的下一代专家，以及（ii）在科学发现和社会需求的下一个化学问题上，在化学最大兴趣的问题上，教会他们如何进行，查看和提出他们的专业和新颖的测量方法。在M3界面进行研究的研究生无疑会以不同的方式作为领导者的思考，并有更好的理解与德国化学景观建立联系。 The successes of the M3 educational experience is expected to help inform the development of new courses and emphases for chemistry graduate programs.Technical AbstractExpert groups in advanced magnetic resonance at University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB) (Han), University of California-Berkeley (UCB)(Reimer), University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA)(Bouchard) and the位于德国亚兴（Blümich）的Rheinisch-Westfälischehochschule（rwth）加入了他们的先进分析工具，以在三通M3周期中综合解决问题的分析工具，并在化学和工程学的协同合作中与化学和工程学的协同合作集中于研究生培训一年级的学生。亚得亚大学皇家大学的几个研究小组是购买这项教育努力的理想伙伴，这不仅是因为RWTH在锻造化学工程伙伴关系中排名第一，而且还因为UCLA/UCSB/UCB/UCB/UCB和RWTH PIS之间的IRES Fellow and cohort cohort and cohort cohort cohort and。在博士研究的第一年中招募，目的是将他们的研究和培训整合到整个研究生生涯中的M3周期中，并利用支持和协作支持。这些精选的学生将通过每周在德语语言和文化的每周在线会议准备前部门。 IRES队列将在其离开之前在UCSB聚会，并在其博士学位第一年的夏天前往亚兴。预期的结果是，研究生在如何加速化学，材料和系统参数的发现和分列方面获得了动手实践经验，以及在给定一系列开始化学品的情况下，如何设计反应途径。这种学习过程和演变将在涉及当前和过去的IRES研究员的年度研讨会上共享。将评估IRES研究员计划的有效性，并通过社交媒体维持其在队列中的专业联系以及合作者。
