In this planning grant, funded by the Chemistry Division at NSF, Professors Skye Fortier and Elizabeth Day from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) will collaborate with the NSF Center for Synthetic Organic Electrochemistry (CSOE) to develop a partnership that could form the basis of a future submission to the Partnerships for Research and Education in Chemistry (PREC) program. This grant provides crucial support for the initial stages of conceptualization, planning, and collaboration, all aimed at shaping a competitive and transformative PREC proposal. Among the planned activities are joint educational workshops, focusing on advanced and cutting-edge analytical techniques. Student engagement is a cornerstone of their approach. Throughout the planning grant, students will play pivotal roles, actively participating in scientific presentations, poster sessions, group discussions, and hands-on research and data collection. The commitment to student involvement extends to a broader mission: the development of strategies that bolster the recruitment, retention, and degree attainment of underrepresented groups across the participating institutions. In doing so, the team aims to foster a more diverse, inclusive, and vibrant scientific community.Professors Fortier and Day are collaborating with the NSF CSOE in developing novel electrochemical methods for the facile detection and separation of rare earth elements. In particular, their mutual interests converge on the development and utilization of organic synthesis for the advancement of new electrochemical methods and systems. The role of CSOE will be to serve as a close scientific partner, bolstering the proposed research initiatives through their expertise in electrochemistry. The planning grant will offer UTEP and CSOE investigators the chance to explore and cultivate projects that truly align with shared interests and objectives to develop scientific thrusts that propose truly innovative and transformative science. Planned activities include collaborative educational workshops that will emphasize advanced and leading-edge analytical methods. A key pillar of the strategy is the active engagement of students. Throughout the planning grant period, students will assume central roles, actively contributing to scientific presentations, poster sessions, group discussions, and practical involvement in research and data collection. Student involvement extends beyond these activities; it encompasses a broader mission. The team aspires to develop strategies that strengthen the recruitment, retention, and academic achievement of students from underrepresented groups within their participating institutions. Their ultimate aim is to cultivate a scientific community that is more diverse, inclusive, and dynamic.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在NSF的化学部门资助的这项计划赠款中，Skye Fortier教授和伊丽莎白·戴（Elizabeth Day）的化学和生物化学系在德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校（UTEP）的化学和生物化学系将与NSF合成器官电化学中心（CSOE）合作，以开发一项合作伙伴关系的伙伴关系（供未来的一项征服）合作（CSOE）合作（CSOE）合作（CSSO）。该赠款为概念化，计划和协作的初始阶段提供了重要的支持，旨在塑造竞争性和变革性的预先提议。计划中的活动包括联合教育研讨会，重点是先进和尖端的分析技术。学生参与是他们方法的基石。在整个计划赠款中，学生将扮演关键角色，积极参加科学演示，海报会议，小组讨论以及动手研究和数据收集。对学生参与的承诺扩展到更广泛的使命：制定加强参与机构中代表性不足的群体的招聘，保留和学位的战略。为此，该团队旨在促进一个更加多样化，包容和充满活力的科学界。专业人士Fortsers和Day正在与NSF CSOE合作开发新颖的电化学方法，以便于稀有地球元素的便利检测和分离。特别是，它们的共同利益融合了有机合成的发展和利用，以提高新的电化学方法和系统。 CSOE的作用将是作为密切的科学伙伴，通过其电化学专业知识来加强拟议的研究计划。规划赠款将为UTEP和CSOE调查人员提供探索和培养与共同利益和目标相一致的项目的机会，以发展真正创新和变革性科学的科学推力。计划的活动包括协作教育研讨会，这些讲习班将强调高级和领先的分析方法。该策略的关键支柱是学生的积极参与。在整个计划赠款期间，学生将扮演核心角色，积极地为科学演示，海报会议，小组讨论以及实际参与研究和数据收集。学生的参与超出了这些活动；它涵盖了更广泛的任务。团队渴望制定策略，以加强来自参与机构中代表性不足的团体学生的招聘，保留和学术成就。他们的最终目的是培养一个更加多样化，包容和动态的科学界。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估标准来通过评估来支持的。
