International Conference on Advanced Membrane Technology III

摘要提案编号：ctc -0620437机构：ecip .: Donald R. paul主题：国际先进膜技术会议（III）本提案为参加将于2006年6月11日至15日在意大利Cetraro举行的国际先进膜技术会议（III）的美国演讲者、论文作者和年轻学术参与者寻求旅费资助。在过去的十年里，膜基技术已经发展成为一项主要的技术。最近的许多发展都是在欧洲国家和日本取得的。它是产业竞争力和合作的重要领域。会议的目的是讨论重要膜技术的最新进展。膜领域的研究人员背景多样，主要来自化学工程、化学、材料科学、生物医学和环境工程等领域。下文解释了参与该领域的更广泛影响。至关重要的是，通过这次会议提供一个必要的论坛，将来自不同背景和不同国家的研究人员聚集在一起，传播和交流最新的科学信息。它将为美国参与者提供发展国际合作的绝佳机会。拟议的1万美元预算将为10名来自美国的年轻研究人员提供部分旅行补助金，以促进他们作为发言人参加会议。旅行奖将根据以下因素进行评选：(1)讲者/参加者的科学或技术水平；(2)是否有其他差旅资金来源；（三）与年龄、岗位相关的专业资格；(4)机构和地域分布。所有的裁决将完全按照1964年的民权法案进行。NSF将遵循美国航空公司的旅行政策。

ABSTRACTProposal #: CTS-0620437Institution: ECIP.I.: Donald R. PaulSubject: Internatinal Conference on Advanced Membrane Technology IIIThis proposal seeks funding for travel grants to U.S. speakers, authors of papers, and young academic participants to attend the International Conference on Advanced Membrane Technology (III), be held in Cetraro, Italy, on June 11-15 2006. Membrane-based technology has grown to be a major technology within the last decade. Many of the recent developments were made in European countries and Japan. It is an important area for industrial competitiveness as well as collaboration. The purpose of the Conference is to discuss the latest advancement of the important membrane technologies. The researchers in the membrane fields have diverse background, mainly in chemical engineering, chemistry, material science, biomedical and environmental engineering. The broader impacts of participation in the area are explained in the following. It is crucially important to provide a needed forum through this conference to bring researchers with different backgrounds and from different countries together for disseminating and exchanging the latest scientific information. It will provide an excellent opportunity for developing international collaboration for the U.S. participants. The proposed budget of $10,000 will provide for 10 partial travel grant awards to young investigators from the U.S. to facilitate their participation as speakers in the Conference. Travel awards will be made based on the following considerations: (1) scientific or technological merit of the speakers/participants; (2) availability of other sources of travel funding; (3) professionalqualifications relative to age and position; (4) institutional and geographical distribution. All awards will be made in full compliance with the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. NSF travel policies with respect to U.S. air carriers will be followed.
