HAASEAR-0601124The 2006 Goldschmidt Conference in Melbourne, Australia will be a first-tier convergence of the best cutting-edge geochemical research in the world, but will be out of the affordable range of many bright and dedicated young professionals in US graduate programs. Costs for airfare to Melbourne and registration are considerable, and much higher than those for recent Goldschmidt conferences abroad. This travel assistance program is intended to partially mitigate Melbourne Goldschmidt travel costs to US graduate students who wish to present the results of their own research at this world-class professional venue. The graduate student travel assistance program outlined in this proposal will solicit applications from graduate students (Masters and Ph.D. candidates) at universities in the US and its territories. Applicants must provide a biographical summary and a short proposal describing the broader impacts of their research, a copy of their submitted Goldschmidt abstract (with assigned abstract number), and a budget justification that includes a statement of need. Applications will be reviewed by two panels that include the PI and the senior personnel, who will assess each application on the basis of merit and financial need. This travel assistance program will provide awards of up to $1,000 toward travel and attendance costs associated with the 2006 V. M. Goldschmidt Conference. No funds are requested to support indirect costs, PI or senior personnel, materials and supplies, or advertising expenses.Broader Impacts It is expected that at least thirty graduate students will be awarded funds through this program. For many young scientists seeking to enter the professional stage, it is through conferences such as Goldschmidt that they encounter their first major opportunities to network with future mentors, employers, and colleagues. The Goldschmidt meetings are the largest dedicated geochemistry conferences held on a regular basis, and benefit from being both popular and focused. At such a meeting young graduate students can survey a wide range of specialties, hear talks by the major players in their chosen fields, and meet colleagues with whom they will interact for the remainder of their careers. To a young scientist seeking to make her reputation, the broader impacts of a meeting like Goldschmidt can be profound. Oral and poster sessions at a major meeting gather the most active research minds at the forefront of a specialty. Students attending these sessions learn not only where the frontier of a discipline lies, but also where the current trends of investigation are heading, and how their own research fits into the broader perspective. In addition to the vigorous intellectual exercises of talks, posters and discussions with authors, students in the geological sciences can often gain immense educational benefit from visiting classic or well-known field sites near the conference venue. In the case of Melbourne, students attending from the US will be brought into relatively close proximity to a number of world-class geologic settings and environments. Through conference-sponsored field trips, short courses, and extramural excursions, students will have to opportunity to experience directly some of the planets most intriguing geologic and geochemical features, as well as a different culture and way of life. In many ways, a foreign conference such as Goldschmidt is an ideal educational opportunity, and this travel assistance program hopes to make that opportunity possible for some of the best and brightest apprentice scientists in our country.

HAASEAR-0601124在澳大利亚墨尔本举行的2006年Goldschmidt会议将是世界上最前沿地球化学研究的一级汇聚，但超出了美国研究生课程中许多聪明而敬业的年轻专业人士的负担能力范围。到墨尔本的机票和注册费用相当可观，远远高于最近在国外举行的Goldschleman会议。这项旅行援助计划的目的是部分减轻墨尔本Goldschleman旅行费用，美国研究生谁希望在这个世界级的专业场所提出自己的研究成果。本提案中概述的研究生旅行援助计划将征求研究生（硕士和博士）的申请。候选人）在美国及其领土的大学。申请人必须提供一份简历和一份简短的提案，描述他们的研究的更广泛的影响，他们提交的Goldschleman摘要的副本（分配的摘要编号），以及包括需求声明的预算理由。申请将由两个小组审查，其中包括PI和高级人员，他们将根据优点和财务需要评估每一份申请。这项旅行援助计划将提供高达1,000美元的奖励，用于支付与2006年V.M.相关的旅行和出席费用。金斯彻会议。不需要资金来支持间接费用，PI或高级人员，材料和用品，或广告费用。更广泛的影响预计至少有30名研究生将通过该计划获得资金。对于许多寻求进入专业阶段的年轻科学家来说，正是通过像Goldschool这样的会议，他们遇到了与未来导师、雇主和同事建立联系的第一个重要机会。Goldschleman会议是定期举行的最大的专门地球化学会议，并受益于受欢迎和重点突出。在这样的会议上，年轻的研究生可以调查各种各样的专业，听取他们所选择的领域的主要参与者的演讲，并与他们将在职业生涯的剩余时间内与之互动的同事会面。对于一个寻求成名的年轻科学家来说，像戈德施泰特这样的会议的广泛影响可能是深远的。在一个重要会议上的口头和海报会议聚集了专业前沿最活跃的研究头脑。参加这些课程的学生不仅了解学科的前沿，而且了解当前调查趋势的走向，以及他们自己的研究如何融入更广泛的视野。除了与作者进行积极的智力练习，海报和讨论之外，地质科学专业的学生还可以通过参观会议场地附近的经典或知名现场获得巨大的教育收益。在墨尔本的情况下，来自美国的学生将被带到相对接近一些世界级的地质设置和环境。通过会议主办的实地考察，短期课程和校外游览，学生将有机会直接体验一些行星最有趣的地质和地球化学特征，以及不同的文化和生活方式。在许多方面，像Goldschmidt这样的外国会议是一个理想的教育机会，这个旅行援助计划希望为我国一些最优秀和最聪明的学徒科学家提供这种机会。
