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年在中华人民共和国华中科技大学开始的一系列专业国际会议中的第五次会议提供部分支持。从第一次会议开始，领导小组由生物力学领域的世界级研究人员和教育工作者组成。第五次会议增加了遗产。这次会议将于1998年8月9日至13日在日本仙台举行。 国家科学基金会为这一系列会议的前四次会议提供了旅费支助。美国参加会议是由美国国家生物力学委员会（USNCB）安排的，该委员会现在由首席研究员Morton H.弗里德曼这些会议为人与人之间的信息交流提供了一个极好的论坛，可能导致未来的合作研究项目。 会议将产生两份出版物（一本摘要集和一本永久性精装书），并将向（15名）年轻研究人员提供部分旅行支助，从而使他们有机会与生物力学领域的主要国际研究人员进行交流。每个支持的收件人将提交一份报告，生物工程和环境系统的国家科学基金会部门在会议期间讨论或安排的合作，并从会议产生的所有出版物的副本将被包括作为项目的最终报告的一部分。 ***

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. ***
