A program on the scale of the Institute for Chemistry Literacy Through Computational Science happens only with the active support of a number of significant partners. The partners listed below form the “leadership team” and contribute to the structure, content and implementation of the ICLCS program:

	Since its establishment in 1971, the College of Medicine at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has become a center for medical education and bioscience excellence. By delivering a premier scientific education, cutting-edge research opportunities, and the highest quality clinical training, its traditional and dual degree Medical Scholars programs have earned outstanding reputations for preparing physician-scientist leaders for the 21st century.
	M.A. Henry Consulting, LLC offers full-service evaluation and research services. We assist organizations that want to improve their success in setting and achieving organizational missions and program goals. From its start in 1993, M.A. Henry Consulting has established a national reach from our home base in St. Louis. M.A. Henry Consulting is the leading evaluator of externally funded education projects in the region.
	The National Center for Supercomputing Applications ( NCSA ) located on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is a leader in defining the future's high-performance cyberinfrastructure for scientists, engineers, and society. The Cybereducation group at NCSA develops and conducts a wide variety of activities and programs for educators and other learners. These activities disseminate advanced technologies to new and established communities to encourage audiences to adopt new computational technologies as learning tools in K-12 schools, colleges, universities, and the workplace.
	The Regional Office of Education #38 provides support and oversight to thirteen public school districts and four parochial schools in the three Central Illinois counties of Logan, Mason, and Menard. Of the forty-five Regional Offices throughout the state, we are one of the "Small Ten" by population designation. The largest city in our region, Lincoln, has a population of just over 15,000 residents. It is our mission to assist our schools in ways that allow them to provide optimal educational opportunities so that all students can excel. Through the two major ROE functions of service and assurance, we make every effort to build and maintain strong relationships throughout our community, assist our educators by delivering opportunities for professional growth and development, and keep our students safe, healthy, and academically successful. In an age where knowledge of science and technology is essential for student success, we at ROE #38 are very excited to be part of the ICLCS partnership.
	The A-C Central Community Unit School District #262 is a small-rural unit district in West Central Illinois located approximately 18 miles west of Springfield.  With a total enrollment of just under 500 students, A-C Central CUSD #262 was selected to represent the “typical” small-rural school facing the daunting task of providing the best possible education for students enrolled in Chemistry while at the same time balancing extremely limited resources and rapidly evolving technology.  The district curriculum, while strongly defined and implemented as it currently exists, is a traditional mix of textbook, lecture and hands on labs.
	The Department of Chemistry has been part of the University of Illinois since the university's beginning in 1868. By 1893, a four-year B.S. degree program in Chemistry had been established, and the first Ph.D. in Chemistry was awarded in 1903. By the 1920s, the department was one of the largest in the United States in terms of facilities, faculty, and degrees granted. By the end of the twentieth century, more than 3,400 doctoral degrees had been awarded, making the Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois the premier Ph.D.-producing chemistry program in the United States.
