Support is proposed for minority/HBCU undergraduate student travel assistance for the 2003 IEEE Nanotechnology Conference. The conference, which has been held twice previously, brings together researchers focused on developing nanotechnologies and applying these technologies to electronic, magnetic and photonic devices and systems. The requested support will be used to provide travel and per-diem stipends for minority undergraduate students who wish to enhance their educational experience and develop an understanding of nanotechnology by attending the conference. Priority will be given to those undergraduate minority students involved in nanotechnology programs through summer research experiences and other extracurricular projects. The broader impact of the proposed program includes involvement of minority undergraduate students in a technical conference hosted by a major professional society. In addition to technical exposure, this experience will provide the opportunity to interact with a broad range of researchers involved in the nanotechnology field and will provide minority undergraduate students a more informed background with which to make decisions regarding future studies.

建议支持少数族裔/HBCU本科生参加2003年IEEE纳米技术会议的旅行援助。该会议之前已经举行了两次，汇集了专注于开发纳米技术并将这些技术应用于电子、磁性和光子器件和系统的研究人员。所要求的支持将用于为希望通过参加会议来提高他们的教育经验和发展对纳米技术的理解的少数民族本科生提供旅费和每日津贴。通过暑期研究经历和其他课外项目参与纳米技术项目的少数民族本科生将被优先考虑。该计划的更广泛影响包括少数民族本科生参与由主要专业协会主办的技术会议。除了接触技术之外，这种经历将提供与纳米技术领域的广泛研究人员互动的机会，并将为少数民族本科生提供更全面的背景知识，以便他们就未来的研究做出决定。
