Request for Graduate Travel Support to Attend the Nanoelectronic Devices for Defense $ Security (NANO-DDS) Conference 2009. To be Held Sept 28-Oct. 2, 2009 in Ft. Lauderdale FL.

该提案的目的是支持研究生参加将于2009年9月28日至10月2日在佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡的Bahia Mar海滩度假胜地举行的纳米电子防御和安全设备（NANO-DDS）。该方法是招募与纳米电子器件研究和开发相关的科学和工程领域的学生，目的是他们的出席将扩大会议对教育经验和未来科学家和工程师教育的影响。将有一个正式的报告程序，其中包括一个叙述，解释他们对参加会议的好处的估计，所有学生与会者都将被要求完成。知识价值：该会议已被组织为正式的两年一次的会议，目的是审查纳米电子器件领域的研究和开发（R&amp；D）活动，这些活动与未来国防和安全的关键能力需求直接相关。这次特别会议的宗旨是统一和集中非常广泛的纳米电子和支持纳米技术活动，这些活动目前正在核心国防和安全相关领域（如传感、数据处理、计算和通信）实现长期预期的应用回报。更广泛的影响：科学和技术信息以及由此产生的纳米级器件和系统路线图将在学术界/大学、政府和工业机构以及广大公众（包括整个国际社会）中广泛传播。会议努力从纳米科学、纳米材料、纳米制造和纳米工程领域的代表性不足的群体中招募学生与会者。

The objective of this proposal is to support graduate student attendance to the Nanoelectronic Devices for Defense & Security (NANO-DDS) will be held at the Bahia Mar Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, FL during the weeks of September 28 to October 2, 2009. The approach is to recruit students in the science and engineering areas related to nanoelectronic devices research and development with the aim that their attendance will broaden the impact of the meeting to the education experiences and education of future scientists and engineers. There will be a formal reporting procedure that includes a narrative that explains their estimation of the benefit in attending the conference that all student attendees will be required to complete. Intellectual Merit: The conference has been organized as a formal bi-annual meeting for the purpose of reviewing research and development (R&D) activities in the arena of nanoelectronic devices that have direct relevance to critical capability needs for national Defense & Security in the future. The charter of this special conference is to unify and focus the very broad array of nanoelectronic and supporting nanotechnology activities that are currently engaged in reaching the long expected applications payoffs in core defense and security related areas such as sensing, data processing, computation and communications. Broader Impacts: The scientific and technological information and the resulting nanoscale devices and systems Roadmap will be widely disseminated throughout academia/universities, government and industrial institutions and the public at-large (including the entire international community). The conference has made diligent effort to recruit student attendees from underrepresented groups from the nanoscience, nanomaterials, nanofabrication and nanoengineering communities.
