NSF Minority Graduate Student Travel Award

这项行动为少数民族研究生旅游奖提供资金。这些奖励允许计划申请NSF少数民族博士后研究奖学金的少数民族研究生在提交奖学金申请之前访问潜在的赞助科学家。Danao女士将于2004年9月访问克兰菲尔德大学生物科学与技术研究所和英国贝德福德Silsoe研究所的实验室。她的背景是工程学，迄今为止她的研究一直是开发光学传感器。她寻求生物学的跨学科培训，以优化她的能力，追求她发明新的生物传感器的职业目标。这次访问将允许她制定博士后研究计划，为她在国外领先机构的研究和培训增加生物学视角。

This action funds a Minority Graduate Student Travel Award. These awards permit minority graduate students who plan to apply for an NSF Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to make visits to prospective sponsoring scientists prior to submitting a fellowship application. Ms. Danao will visit laboratories at the Institute of BioScience and Technology at Cranfield University and the Silsoe Research Institute, Bedford, UK in September, 2004. Her background is in engineering and her research to date has been in developing optical sensors. She seeks cross-disciplinary training in biology to optimize her ability to pursue her career goals of inventing new biosensors. This visit will permit her to formulate a program for postdoctoral research that adds a biological perspective to her research and training at leading foreign institutions.
