PI：理查德·B·布朗研究所：犹他大学提案编号：0918175智力价值：第215届电化学学会研讨会要求会议支持，题为？化学传感器的35年？将于2009年5月25日至27日在旧金山举行。组织这次研讨会的目的是让专注于电子、磁性和光子设备的科学家和工程师齐聚一堂，这些设备能够在广泛的应用中转换化学浓度。研讨会的目的是促进该领域的研究，促进学生对开发此类传感器的兴趣，并吸引更多的研究人员进入该领域。申请的支持将用于为在会议上提交论文的本科生、研究生和初级教职员工提供旅费。本次研讨会将集中讨论基于电子、磁性和光子器件以及有机半导体的化学传感器技术的方方面面。研讨会将包括一系列从材料到应用的相关主题：传感材料、微/纳米加工、制造工艺、封装以及这些结构和工艺在化学传感器、生物传感器、高阶传感阵列和化学分析小型化中的应用。会议的总体愿景是通过汇聚传感器技术各个方面的研究人员来促进该领域的研究。所有的旅行支持都将提供给美国公民、永久居民和美国国民，并考虑到人口和地理多样性。化学传感器领域将需要大量新人涌入，以便拥有足够的人力资源来开发和应用这项技术，并将其应用于能源、国家安全、医疗保健以及食品和水安全等关键应用。研究生和本科生的参与，通过请求的支持，将有助于促进年轻参与者融入这一领域。更广泛的影响：拟议计划的更广泛影响将涉及将来自代表性不足群体的学生带入这一令人兴奋的跨学科领域。将电、光和磁技术应用于传感器对学生很有吸引力，因为通过感知人体内部和我们生活的环境，可以为人类带来明显的好处。吸引新的研究人员进入传感领域的一个很好的方法是让研究生和本科生参加由主要专业学会举办的技术会议。除了技术接触之外，这一经历还将提供与该领域广泛参与的研究人员互动的机会。申请的资金将使更多的学生参与会议。如果分配的资金不是全部用于支持提交论文的学生的旅行，剩余的资金将优先用于支持与传感器小组合作的代表不足的学生的旅行。会议将公布会议记录，并将予以分发。会议过程将为学生作者提供一个发表他们目前的作品的机会，并为演讲提供技术档案。

PI: Richard B. BrownInstitution: University of Utah Proposal Number: 0918175Intellectual Merit: Conference symposium support is requested for the 215th Electrochemical Society Symposium titled ?35 Years of Chemical Sensors? to be held in San Francisco May 25-27, 2009. The symposium, organized to bring together scientists and engineers focused on electronic, magnetic and photonic devices which are able to transduce chemical concentrations for a wide variety of applications. The Symposium is intended to stimulate research in the field, to promote interest in the development of such sensors among students, and to bring more researchers to the field. The requested support will be used to provide travel stipends for undergraduate and graduate students and junior faculty who have papers being presented at the conference. This symposium will focus on all aspects of chemical sensor technology based-on electronic, magnetic and photonic devices and organic semiconductors. The Symposium will include an array of related topics ranging from materials to applications: sensing materials, micro/nano-machining, fabrication processes, packaging, and the application of these structures and processes to the miniaturization of chemical sensors, biosensors, higher order sensing arrays, and chemical analysis. The overall vision of the conference is to stimulate research in the area by bringing together researchers working in various aspects of sensor technology. All of the travel support will be given to US citizens, permanent residents and US nationals, with consideration to demographic and geographic diversity. The chemical sensor field will require an influx of new people in order to have sufficient human resources for development and application of the technology to critical applications such as energy, national security, health care, and food and water safety. The involvement of graduate and undergraduate students, enabled through the requested support, will help to foster the integration of young participants into this field.Broader Impact: The broader impact of the proposed program will involve bringing students from underrepresented groups into this exciting, interdisciplinary area. Applying electrical, optical and magnetic technologies to sensors appeals to students because of the obvious good that can be done for humanity through sensing both inside the body, and in the environment in which we live. An excellent way to draw new researchers into the sensing area is to involve graduate and undergraduate students in a technical conference run by a major professional society. In addition to technical exposure, this experience will provide the opportunity to interact with a broad range of researchers involved in this field. The requested funding will enable broader student participation in the conference. If the allocated funds are not all needed to support the travel of students presenting papers, the remaining funds will be used preferentially to support the travel of underrepresented students who are working with sensor groups. The conference will publish proceedings, to be distributed. The proceedings will provide an opportunity for student authors to publish their current work, as well as providing a technical archive for the presentations.
