2010 NSF-MEXT Young Researchers Exchange Program on Nanotechnology

这项提议将促进美国和日本研究人员和机构之间的交流，并为早期职业研究人员提供机会，在与纳米制造相关的问题上建立国际专业关系。日本文部科学省(MEXT)将资助日本代表团访美的旅费，并支付接待美国代表团访问日本的费用。NSF将支付美国代表团访问日本的旅费和接待日本代表团访问美国的费用。研究人员的交流机会有望利用跨机构的研究协同效应，应对当前纳米制造概念、技术和实践方面的挑战，并在个人、机构和国家之间形成持久的合作。与会者的双边交流包括2010年10月日本代表团访问美国和2010年12月美国代表团访问日本；这些访问将包括在东道国机构的活动、设施参观、讨论和研究报告。

This proposal will enable exchanges between US and Japanese researchers and institutions, and provide early career researchers opportunities to establish international professional relationships on issues related to nanomanufacturing. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) in Japan will fund the travel of the Japanese delegation to the US and cover the expenses of hosting the US delegation's visit to Japan. NSF would cover the travel expenses of the US delegation to Japan and expenses of hosting the Japanese delegation's visit to the US.Exchange opportunities for researchers are expected to capitalize on research synergies across institutions, address current challenges in nanomanufacturing concepts, techniques, and practices, and form enduring collaborations between individuals, institutions, and countries. The bi-lateral exchange of participants includes a US visit by the Japanese delegation in October 2010 and a Japan visit by the US delegation in December 2010; these visits will include activities at host institutions, tours of facilities, discussions, and presentations of research.
