The 22nd International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM) will be held August 24-30, 2008, in Adelaide, Australia. The U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM) of the National Academies proposes a fellowship program to support U.S. scientists and researchers presenting papers at the congress. Priority will be given to younger faculty, allowing them to gain from this international experience. A subcommittee of USNC/TAM will select the fellowship recipients from among eligible applicants. Every effort will be made to select a scientifically diverse group of recipients that will represent all areas of theoretical and applied mechanics. The availability of funds will be advertised nationally through the committee network ? especially the member societies, on the committee website, and through e-mail notification. These congresses provide a forum for researchers from around the world, working in federal and nonfederal research laboratories, industry, and academia, to present and discuss recent research findings and to define directions for future research work. The increased involvement of all researchers, both junior and senior, from the United States that this grant will enable will strengthen U.S. mechanics research and help build the future of the discipline. Graduate students and young researchers are the foundations on which future technological advances and the technical well being of the nation rest. Their attendance at the Congress, assisted with funding from this program, will expose them to the latest developments in theoretical and applied mechanics, enable them to interact with many of the leaders and pioneers in the field, help strengthen their understanding of basic principles, implant seeds for the future growth and development of theoretical and applied mechanics, and enable them to establish a more personal relationship with their peers.

第22届国际理论与应用力学大会（ICTAM）将于2008年8月24日至30日在澳大利亚的阿德莱德举行。美国国家科学院的美国国家理论与应用力学委员会（USNC/TAM）提出了一项奖学金计划，以支持美国科学家和研究人员在大会上发表论文。将优先考虑年轻的教师，让他们从这一国际经验中获益。USNC/TAM的一个小组委员会将从合格的申请人中选择奖学金获得者。将尽一切努力选择一组科学多样化的收件人，将代表所有领域的理论和应用力学。资金的可用性将通过委员会网络在全国范围内进行宣传？特别是成员协会，在委员会网站上，并通过电子邮件通知。这些大会为来自世界各地的研究人员提供了一个论坛，他们在联邦和非联邦研究实验室、工业界和学术界工作，介绍和讨论最近的研究成果，并确定未来研究工作的方向。来自美国的所有研究人员，无论是初级还是高级研究人员的参与增加，这笔赠款将加强美国的力学研究，并有助于建立该学科的未来。研究生和青年研究人员是未来技术进步和国家技术福祉的基础。他们出席大会，从这个计划的资金援助，将使他们接触到理论和应用力学的最新发展，使他们能够与该领域的许多领导者和先驱者互动，帮助加强他们对基本原理的理解，为理论和应用力学的未来增长和发展植入种子，并使他们能够与同行建立更多的个人关系。
