International Travel Grant: 5th Japan-USA-Singapore-China Conference on Biomechanics, August 9-13, 1998, Sendai, Japan

9802620弗里德曼该奖项为1983年在中国人民共和国华中科技大学举行的一系列专门国际会议中的第五次提供部分支持。从第一届会议开始，领导小组一直由世界一流的生物力学研究人员和教育工作者组成。第五次会议增加了这一遗产。它将于1998年8月9日至13日在日本仙台举行。NSF为本系列之前的所有四次会议提供了差旅支持。美国参加这次会议是由美国国家生物力学委员会(USNCB)安排的，该委员会目前由首席研究员莫顿·H·弗里德曼博士担任主席。这些会议为人与人之间的信息交流提供了一个很好的论坛，可以促成未来的合作研究项目。会议将出版两种出版物(一本摘要书和一本永久精装书)，并将向年轻研究人员提供部分旅行支助，从而为他们提供与生物力学领域领先的国际研究人员交流的机会。每个接受资助的人都要向国家科学基金会生物工程和环境系统分部提交一份关于会议期间讨论或安排的合作的报告，会议产生的所有出版物的一份复印件将作为项目最终报告的一部分。***

9802620 Friedman This award provides partial support for the fifth in a series of specialized international meetings that began in 1983 at the Huachung Uiversity of Science and Technology, Peoples Republic of China. Beginning with the first conference the leadership group has been composed of world class researchers and educators in biomechanics. The fifth meeting adds to the legacy. It will be held in Sendai, Japan August 9-13, 1998. NSF provided travel support for all of the four previous meetings in this series. U.S. participation in the conference is arranged by the U.S. National Committee on Biomechanics (USNCB), now chaired by the principal investigator, Dr. Morton H. Friedman. The meetings have provided an excellent forum for person-to-person information exchange that could lead to future collaborative research projects. Two publications are to result from the meeting (a book of abstracts and a permanent hard-cover book) and partial travel support is to be given to (15) young investigators, thereby providing an opportunity for them to confer with leading international investigators in biomechanics. Each recipient of support is to submit a report to the National Science Foundation Division of Bioengineering and Environmental Systems on the collaborations discussed or arranged during the conference, and one copy of all publications resulting from the conference is to be included as part of the Final Report of the project. ***
