Minority/HBCU Student Travel Assistance for IEEE Nanotechnology 2003 Conference

建议为2003年IEEE纳米技术会议的少数族裔/HBCU本科生提供旅行援助。这次会议此前已经举行了两次，聚集了专注于开发纳米技术并将这些技术应用于电子、磁性和光子设备和系统的研究人员。申请的资助将用于为希望通过参加会议提高教育经验和加深对纳米技术的了解的少数族裔本科生提供旅费和每日津贴。将优先考虑通过暑期研究经验和其他课外项目参与纳米技术项目的本科少数民族学生。拟议项目的更广泛影响包括让少数族裔本科生参加由一个主要专业协会主办的技术会议。除了技术方面的接触，这一经历还将提供与纳米技术领域的广泛研究人员互动的机会，并将为少数族裔本科生提供更知情的背景，以便他们就未来的学习做出决定。

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.
