We will explore the effects of environmental conditions, which change dramatically between the inner and outer regions of the Galaxy, on the initial mass function (IMF) of the star forming region NGC 1893. Our proposed 450ksec observation of NGC 1893, a SFR of ~3 Myr in the outer part of the Galaxy, joint with two hours of Spitzer data, will permit us to identify members down to 0.5 Msun and enable a comparison of NGC 1893's IMF with those derived for SFRs in the solar neighborhood. Our observations will help in determining, particularly in the low mass regime, how the IMF depends on galactic environment. With its spatial resolution and sensitivity, Chandra, with the support of Spitzer, is uniquely suited to achieve our objectives.
