This grant provides funding for a technical team of 12 faculty members from 11 universities to travel to India and conduct a three-day US-India Workshop on fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites including two short courses. This event will take place in conjunction with the International Conference and Exhibition on Reinforced Plastics (ICERP) 2008, Mumbai, India from 7th to 9th February, 2008. More specifically, US delegates will: 1) conduct US-India Workshop on FRP Composites; 2) develop strategies for collaborative R&D work with faculty and graduate students from prestigious Indian universities, including Indian Institutes of Technology (half a day); and 3) teach two short courses (half-a-day each). The workshop effort will culminate into recommending strategies for collaborative research and development activities with Indian faculty and graduate students, and developing educational programs such as short courses, conferences, exchange of faculty and graduate students, and text book collaborations. The workshop will also help promote US experiences and success stories on advanced FRP composites to rapidly growing FRP composites industries and markets in India, with a view point of US composites industry penetrating into Indian markets.Upon completion of the workshop, a final report summarizing research and educational activities will be submitted to NSF. In particular, the report will present a state-of-the-art of research, development, applications/field implementation and growth potential of FRP composites in India and US. The emphasis will be on composite industry future in India and collaborative issues with US composites industry. Several research topics and action items will be identified for potential collaborations between respective US universities and Indian universities and institutes. The final report will also be posted to the CFC Web/Internet site (http://www.cemr.wvu.edu/cfc). In addition, the workshop findings and outcomes will be presented at Polymer Composites Conference V to be organized by CFC in spring 2009 for those working in FRP composites in US.

这笔赠款为来自11所大学的12名教师组成的技术团队提供资金，前往印度并举办为期三天的美国-印度纤维增强聚合物（FRP）复合材料研讨会，包括两个短期课程。本次活动将于2008年2月7日至9日在印度孟买举行的2008年国际增强塑料会议和展览会（ICERP）同时举行。更具体地说，美国代表将：1）进行美国-印度FRP复合材料研讨会; 2）与印度著名大学的教师和研究生（包括印度理工学院）（半天）制定合作研发工作的战略; 3）教授两门短期课程（各半天）。研讨会的努力将最终成为与印度教师和研究生合作研究和开发活动的建议战略，并制定教育计划，如短期课程，会议，教师和研究生的交流，以及教科书合作。研讨会还将有助于向印度快速增长的玻璃钢复合材料行业和市场推广美国先进玻璃钢复合材料的经验和成功案例，并着眼于美国复合材料行业渗透到印度市场。研讨会结束后，将向NSF提交总结研究和教育活动的最终报告。特别是，该报告将介绍FRP复合材料在印度和美国的研究、开发、应用/现场实施和增长潜力。重点将放在印度复合材料行业的未来以及与美国复合材料行业的合作问题上。将确定几个研究主题和行动项目，以便美国大学与印度大学和研究所之间进行潜在的合作。最后报告还将张贴在商品共同基金的网站上（http：//www.cemr.wvu.edu/cfc）。此外，研讨会的调查结果和成果将提交给CFC于2009年春季为美国从事玻璃钢复合材料工作的人员组织的第五届聚合物复合材料会议。
