Abstract

This summer, as part of the ACS Project SEED program, more than 400 high school students will undertake chemistry research projects in laboratories across the U.S. The students, all of whom are from economically disadvantaged households, will receive a fellowship that will allow them to conduct research full-time in academic, industrial, and government laboratories in 38 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The students will work alongside established mentors who will oversee research projects that span all the chemistry subdisciplines. In addition to research, most SEED students will be embedded into a larger scientific community in order to provide opportunities and experiences that will hopefully stimulate interest in the sciences and increase motivation to pursue a scientific career. By the end of the summer, more than 400 dedicated volunteers will have worked to ensure that each Project SEED student had a profound research experience. Given
