This award to the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) enables that organization to recruit approximately 100 Native American and Latino undergraduate and graduate students from the non-biomedical sciences to participate in the 1998 SACNAS National Conference to be held in Washington, DC on October 8-11, 1998. At the conference, these students will present results of research activities in which they have been involved and also attend mentoring sessions designed to assist them in planning for subsequent educational and employment pursuits. Additionally, a session is planned in which NSF staff will describe opportunities for Foundation support of research and education activities.In the past, SACNAS national conferences have focussed on students with biomedical backgrounds and interests, primarily because financial support for these conferences has been provided largely by the National Institutes of Health. This award provides funds that will be used to broaden the disciplinary perspective of the conference to include those disciplines that are reflected in the investment portfolios of NSF. Short-term goals of this activity include a marked increase in the number of SACNAS conference student attendees with interests in the non-biomedical sciences and engineering. In the longer term, increases in Latino and Native Americans in NSF-relevant science and engineering activities are expected.

向奇卡诺人和美洲原住民科学促进协会（SACNAS）颁发的这一奖项使该组织能够从非生物医学科学领域招募大约100名美洲原住民和拉丁裔本科生和研究生，参加将于1998年10月8日至11日在华盛顿特区举行的1998年SACNAS全国会议。在会议上，这些学生将展示他们参与的研究活动的成果，并参加旨在帮助他们规划后续教育和就业追求的指导会议。此外，NSF工作人员将在会议中描述基金会支持研究和教育活动的机会。过去，SACNAS全国会议的重点是具有生物医学背景和兴趣的学生，主要是因为这些会议的财政支持主要由美国国立卫生研究院提供。该奖项提供的资金将用于扩大会议的学科视角，以包括那些反映在NSF投资组合中的学科。这项活动的短期目标包括显著增加对非生物医学科学和工程感兴趣的SACNAS会议学生的人数。从长远来看，拉丁裔和美洲原住民参与nsf相关的科学和工程活动的人数有望增加。
