This proposal requests funding to increase participation by U.S. graduate students at the 2010 Annual Meeting of the North American Membrane Society (NAMS/ICIM2010). The meeting will be a first ever combined meeting of the North American Membrane Society (NAMS) and the International Conference on Inorganic Membranes (ICIM). The meeting theme will be: Membranes: Enabling a Sustainable Future. The funding will be used to provide partial registration and travel support for graduate students participating in the conference. The goal is to encourage student participation at the largest meeting in North America of membrane scientists and engineers from academia, industry and government; students supported by NSF will present their research at the conference. The international nature of the meeting will enable students to interact not only with scientists and engineers from North America but also with those from Europe and Asia. The meeting will provide students with expanded opportunities to attend presentations and poster sessions to learn about the latest developments in membrane science and engineering. The NAMS/ICIM2010 meeting will consist of 40 technical sessions covering all aspects of membrane science, engineering and technology that support applications in the chemical, petrochemical, biofuels, food processing and packaging, and medical and biotechnology industries. The meeting will feature two world class plenary lectures that will address the role of membranes in water and energy sustainability as well as a special session, Membranes for a Sustainable World. In addition, the Journal of Membrane Science plans to publish a special edition tentatively entitled, Membrane Science for a Sustainable Future, in conjunction with NAMS/ICIM 2010. This special edition will offer students a unique opportunity to publish their meeting-presented research in the foremost peer reviewed membrane journal. NSF support would enable students to learn about the latest discoveries in membrane science and engineering, and meet researchers and colleagues from academia, industry and government. This unique networking opportunity would greatly benefit their research as well as facilitate their career development in the membrane area. The proposed meeting sponsorship would increase the number of U.S. graduate students who are able to attend NAMS/ICIM2010. In addition to the 40 technical and two poster sessions, an extensive student program will be organized to advance the professional development of the next generation of membrane researchers. Four workshops will provide students with intensive training in fundamental and developing areas of membrane science and engineering. NSF funding will provide partial travel support for 20 U.S. graduate students to attend this meeting, and will be available to students of all genders, ethnicities, and geographic regions. Applications received from students with disabilities will be encouraged. Student participation at the meeting will enhance the infrastructure for research providing students the opportunity to meet leading scientists and engineers in membrane science and technology, network with students and faculty from other national and international research groups with similar interests, and interact with potential employers. In addition to the extensive technical content, activities related to the meeting theme, Membranes: Enabling a Sustainable Future, address issues of significant societal benefit. Moreover, the meeting will support the continuing education of young membrane scientists and engineers and thus will encourage the development of a new generation of leadership. Such leadership will help to maintain and increase the position of the U.S. in the development of membranes for sustainable technologies, an area of growing global emphasis.

该提案要求提供资金，以增加美国研究生参加2010年北美膜学会年会（NAMS/ICIM 2010）。这次会议将是北美膜学会（NAMS）和国际无机膜会议（ICIM）的首次联合会议。会议的主题是：膜：实现可持续的未来。这笔资金将用于为参加会议的研究生提供部分注册和旅行支持。目标是鼓励学生参加北美最大的会议，来自学术界，工业界和政府的膜科学家和工程师; NSF支持的学生将在会议上介绍他们的研究。会议的国际性质将使学生不仅能够与来自北美的科学家和工程师互动，还可以与来自欧洲和亚洲的科学家和工程师互动。会议将为学生提供更多的机会参加演讲和海报会议，以了解膜科学和工程的最新发展。NAMS/ICIM 2010会议将包括40个技术会议，涵盖膜科学、工程和技术的各个方面，支持化学、石化、生物燃料、食品加工和包装以及医疗和生物技术行业的应用。会议将有两个世界级的全体讲座，将解决膜在水和能源可持续性的作用，以及一个特别会议，可持续发展的世界膜。此外，《膜科学杂志》计划与NAMS/ICIM 2010联合出版一个特别版，暂定标题为《可持续未来的膜科学》。该特别版将为学生提供一个独特的机会，在最重要的同行评审膜杂志上发表他们在会议上提出的研究。NSF的支持将使学生能够了解膜科学和工程的最新发现，并会见来自学术界，工业界和政府的研究人员和同事。这种独特的网络机会将大大有利于他们的研究，以及促进他们在膜领域的职业发展。拟议的会议赞助将增加美国研究生谁能够参加NAMS/ICIM 2010的数量。除了40个技术和两个海报会议，将组织一个广泛的学生计划，以推进下一代膜研究人员的专业发展。四个研讨会将为学生提供膜科学和工程的基础和发展领域的强化培训。NSF资助将为20名美国研究生提供部分旅行支持，以参加这次会议，并将提供给所有性别，种族和地理区域的学生。残疾学生的申请将受到鼓励。学生参加会议将加强研究基础设施，为学生提供机会，以满足领先的科学家和工程师在膜科学和技术，网络与学生和教师从其他国家和国际研究团体有类似的兴趣，并与潜在的雇主互动。除了广泛的技术内容外，与会议主题“膜：实现可持续的未来”有关的活动还涉及具有重大社会效益的问题。此外，会议将支持年轻的膜科学家和工程师的继续教育，从而鼓励新一代领导的发展。这种领导地位将有助于保持和提高美国在可持续技术膜开发方面的地位，这是一个日益受到全球重视的领域。
