Beyond Benign, a leader in green chemistry education, will use this grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support the launch of 16 Green Chemistry Professional Mentoring Networks. These networks will connect experienced faculty mentors with educators across the US. Particular focus will be given to undergraduate institutions and two-year colleges.
The five year program is expected to reach 160 instructors.
Content will center on the four learning objectives embedded in Beyond Benign's Green Chemistry Commitment:
- Theory: Understanding the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry
- Toxicology: Evaluating molecular hazards and human and environmental health impacts
- Laboratory Skills: Designing and analyzing greener chemical processes and materials
- Application: Integrating sustainable chemistry into real-world and industrial contexts
