NSF Minority Graduate Student Travel Award

这一行动资助少数民族研究生旅行奖。 这些奖项允许少数民族研究生谁计划申请NSF少数民族博士后研究奖学金，使未来的赞助科学家访问之前提交奖学金申请。 Danao女士将于2004年9月访问英国克兰菲尔德大学生物科学与技术研究所和贝德福德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在开发光学传感器。 她寻求生物学的跨学科培训，以优化她追求发明新生物传感器的职业目标的能力。 这次访问将使她能够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.
