Breakout questions: What major discoveries or advances related to
energy or transportation have been made in the chemical sciences
during the past several decades? What is the length of time for them
to show impact? What are the societal benefits of research in the
chemical sciences? What are the intangible benefits, for example, in
health and quality of life? What problems exist in the chemical sci-
ences? Has there been a real or sustained decline in research invest-
ment in either the public or private sector? Has there been a shift in
off-shore investment?

Breakout questions: What are the major discoveries and challenges
related to energy and transportation at the interfaces between chemis-
try/chemical engineering and such areas as biology, environmental
science, materials science, medicine, and physics? How broad is the
scope of the chemical sciences in this area? How has research in the
chemical sciences been influenced by advances in other areas, such
as biology, materials, and physics?

Breakout questions: What are the energy or transportation-related is-
sues in the chemical sciences, and what opportunities and needs exist
for integrating research and teaching, broadening the participation of
underrepresented groups, improving the infrastructure for research
and education, and demonstrating the value of these activities to soci-
ety? What returns can be expected on investment in the chemical
sciences? How does the investment correlate with scientific and eco-
nomic progress? What feedback exists between chemical industry and
university research in the chemical sciences? What are the effects of
university research on industrial competitiveness, maintaining a tech-
nical work force, and developing new industrial growth (e.g., in poly-
mers, materials, or biotechnology)? Are there examples of lost op-
portunities in the chemical sciences that can be attributed to failure to
invest in research?
