This award will provide travel support for attendees and invited speakers for the ninth annual symposium of the NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship (AAPF) program, to be held in Seattle, WA on January 8-9, 2011. The purpose of the AAPF program is to integrate research and educational activities at the postdoctoral level, to better prepare the fellows for a scientific career. The Annual Symposium provides a venue for fellows to discuss their research and teaching or outreach projects while increasing their exposure within the astronomy and astrophysics community. The symposium represents a key component of the AAPF program, acting as a mechanism to facilitate knowledge transfer from experiences the fellows have obtained in the course of their activities to a broad audience. As with the previous symposia in this series, the AAPF symposium for 2011 will promote discussion among astronomers with very different interests and backgrounds. By creating a forum in which discussions can occur across the standard boundaries defined by subdiscipline, there is great opportunity for new insights and the ability to develop new interdisciplinary collaborations. The symposium will also provide a venue for discussing other issues that are important to young astronomers as they begin their careers. In addition, the symposium will (1) provide a forum for discussing the combination of research and teaching, (2) facilitate collaborations between AAPF fellows on both research and education, and (3) provide exposure for the fellows and the fellowship program within the astronomical community, given that the symposium is held in conjunction with the winter American Astronomical Society meeting.

该奖项将为参加将于 2011 年 1 月 8 日至 9 日在华盛顿州西雅图举行的 NSF 天文学和天体物理学博士后奖学金 (AAPF) 计划第九届年度研讨会的与会者和受邀演讲者提供旅费支持。AAPF 计划的目的是整合博士后级别的研究和教育活动，以便为研究员的科学职业生涯做好更好的准备。年度研讨会为研究员提供了一个讨论他们的研究和教学或外展项目的场所，同时增加了他们在天文学和天体物理学界的曝光度。该研讨会是 AAPF 计划的一个重要组成部分，作为一种机制，促进研究员将其在活动过程中获得的经验知识转移给广大受众。与本系列之前的研讨会一样，2011 年的 AAPF 研讨会将促进具有不同兴趣和背景的天文学家之间的讨论。通过创建一个可以跨越由子学科定义的标准边界进行讨论的论坛，就有了获得新见解和开发新的跨学科合作的能力的绝佳机会。研讨会还将提供一个场所，讨论对年轻天文学家开始职业生涯时重要的其他问题。此外，研讨会将（1）提供一个讨论研究和教学相结合的论坛，（2）促进AAPF研究员之间在研究和教育方面的合作，（3）考虑到研讨会是与美国天文学会冬季会议同时举行，为研究员和研究金计划提供了在天文学界的曝光机会。
