The US-China NSF Workshop of Young Investigator Awardees in Bio and Nano Mechanics and Materials

美国国家科学基金会（NSF）生物纳米力学与材料青年研究者研讨会为促进青年研究者之间的国际合作，本提案的目的是为NSF CAREER获奖者和中国NSF杰出青年研究者组织一次中美研讨会，交流生物纳米力学与材料的研究和教育进展，并确定未来的任务。 讲习班将于2005年12月在中国举行，包括生物和纳米力学和材料等不同分专题的会议。 邀请和提交的论文都将在研讨会会议记录中发表，并张贴在研讨会网站上。 经同行评审后，选定的论文将作为特刊在一份国际期刊上发表。 此次研讨会的直接成果是，美国和中国的机构、研究人员、专业知识和基础设施都可以被确定为具有推进纳米和生物力学和材料的能力。

The US-China NSF Workshop ofYoung Investigator Awardees in Bio and Nano Mechanics and MaterialsTo promote the international collaboration among young researchers, the objective of this proposal is to organize a US-China Workshop for the NSF CAREER awardees and Chinese NSF Outstanding Young Investigator awardees to exchange the research and educational advances in bio and nano mechanics and materials, and to identify the future tasks. The workshop will be held in China in December 2005, and consist of sessions in different subtopics of bio and nano mechanics and materials. Both invited and contributed papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and posted on the workshop website. Selected papers will be published as a special volume in an international journal after a peer-reviewed process. A direct outcome from this workshop is that institutions, researchers, expertise and infrastructure in both US and China could be identified with capabilities to advancing nano and bio mechanics and materials.
