US-Brazil Student Sponsorship at the Fifth Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics; Santos, Brazil, Fall 2003

这一美国-巴西奖将支持菲利普·L·科尔博士和豪尔赫·A·洛佩兹博士资助学生参加2003年9月1日至5日在巴西桑托斯举行的第五届拉丁美洲核物理研讨会(V LASNP)。来自巴西的联合组织者是圣保罗大学的Roberto V.Ribas博士。这次活动的目标是促进北美和南美机构的教职员工和学生之间的对话。通过思想交流，它将使参与者找到共同的研究兴趣和目标。这将在国际核物理界的广泛范围内加强美国和拉丁美洲之间的联系，并将为学生提供在国际背景下开展的研究的第一手资料。这一经历不仅将有助于培养一支面向全球的劳动力队伍，还可能有助于鼓励未来的研究人员在美国研究人员没有那么关注的美洲地区继续未来的工作。

This U.S.-Brazil award will support Drs. Philip L. Cole and Jorge A. Lopez to sponsor students to attend the Fifth Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics (V LASNP) to be held in Santos, Brazil on September 1-5, 2003. The co-organizer from Brazil is Dr. Roberto V. Ribas, Universidade de Sao Paulo.The goal of this activity is to promote dialog among faculty members and students of North American and South American institutions. Through exchanges of ideas it will allow those involved to find common research interests and goals. This will strengthen the link between US and Latin America within the broad scope of the international nuclear physics community and will provide the students with a first-hand view of research carried out in an international context. Not only will this experience contribute to a globally oriented workforce but also it might serve to encourage future researchers to pursue future work in a part of the Americas that has not attracted as much attention from US researchers.
