Organization and U.S. Student Participation in the Canadian, U.S. and Mexican Conference, CAM2003

美国物理学会(APS)将使用该奖项的资金支持学生参加2003年10月举行的加拿大、美国和墨西哥联合会议(CAM2003)。这笔资金将用于向参加会议的美国学生发放旅费补助，并支付行政费用。CAM2003美国组委会打算以竞争性的方式向大约85名美国学生颁发“CAM2003-NSF学生推荐人奖”，每个学生最高可获得500.00美元。提名机构将被要求匹配或补充通过APS提供的赠款。APS、加拿大物理学家协会(CAP)和墨西哥物理学会(SMF)将联合举办CAM2003：“学生对21世纪物理的展望”。SMF将作为其在墨西哥城举行的年度会议的卫星主办这次会议，并将作为当地的组织委员会。来自三个学会的学生，包括APS研究生事务论坛(FGSA)的成员，将担任会议组织者。这次会议的重点是来自三个国家的研究生和本科生的参与，并将为他们提供机会了解广泛的物理主题。

The American Physical Society (APS) will use funds from this award to support student participation in a joint Canadian, U.S. and Mexican conference (CAM2003) in October 2003. The funds will be used to award travel grants to U.S. students to participate in the conference and to cover administrative costs. The CAM2003 U.S. organizing committee intends to competitively award approximately 85 U.S. students with "CAM2003-NSF Student Presenter Awards" of up to $500.00 per student. Nominating institutions will be asked to either match or provide some supplement to the grant provided through APS. The APS, the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP) and the Mexican Physical Society (SMF) will jointly organize CAM2003: "Student Visions for Physics in the 21st Century." The SMF will host the meeting as a satellite to its annual meeting in Mexico City and will serve as the local organizing committee. Students from the three societies, including members of the APS Forum on Graduate Student Affairs (FGSA), will serve as the conference organizers. The meeting will focus on the participation of graduate and undergraduate students from the three respective countries and will provide them the opportunity to learn about a broad range of physics topics.
