This planning proposal requests funds for the planning phase of the Pan-American Institute of Science and Technology (PAIST). The PAIST seeks to create effective pathways to graduate studies for young Latinos in the U.S. through the participation of Latin-American scientists in research collaborations and outreach activities. The Pan-American Institute of Science and Technology (PAIST) will set up and coordinate research in science and technology between faculty members, young scientists and students at the University of Houston, the University of Houston-Downtown and other participating institutions and their counterparts in Latin America. The PAIST will create a unique continuum of opportunities ? pathways ? for young Latinos to be successful through their Ph.D. studies.This grant will be used for travel, mini-workshops and related expenses. The NSF seed money contribution will have an important leveraging effect at the University of Houston and in the local community.

这项规划提案要求为泛美科学和技术研究所的规划阶段提供资金。PAIST旨在通过拉丁美洲科学家参与研究合作和外联活动，为在美国的年轻拉丁美洲人创造有效的研究生学习途径。泛美科学和技术研究所（PAIST）将在休斯敦大学、休斯顿下城大学和其他参与机构及其在拉丁美洲的对应机构的教员、青年科学家和学生之间建立和协调科学和技术研究。PAIST将创造一个独特的连续的机会？通路?让年轻的拉丁美洲人能够成功地完成博士学业。这笔赠款将用于差旅费、小型讲习班和相关费用。国家科学基金会的种子基金捐款将对休斯顿大学和当地社区产生重要的杠杆效应。
