This award is a grant in response to Program Solicitation 04-036, International Research Experiences for Students (IRES). The research topic of this program is the development of advanced materials for applications in energy generation and storage and environmental remediation processes. The Clarkson University program will collaborate with Corning, Inc., in New York State, Corning Research China and host research mentors at Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Science Institute of Physics in Beijing, China. Six to twelve undergraduates and three graduate students will travel to China in each of three summers, starting in 2011. Student recruitment will be national, and an effort will be made to include underrepresented minorities. Because of challenges in energy production and management as well as environmental concerns, new processes of energy conversion and storage are needed, and such processes require advanced materials with tailored properties. Examples include the need to increase the efficiency of solar-energy systems. The students in this program will collaborate with leading materials researchers to explore methods for designing and fabricating materials with needed properties. This international experience will broaden the students? understanding of the world and prepare them to engage with Chinese and American colleagues in the future course of their careers. Clarkson plans to institutionalize research and education exchange programs based on this model. Expanding it through both industrial and academic partners will contribute to broader internationalization of U.S. institutions.

该奖项是针对计划征集 04-036“学生国际研究经验”(IRES) 的一项资助。该项目的研究主题是开发用于能源生成和存储以及环境修复过程的先进材料。 克拉克森大学项目将与纽约州康宁公司、康宁中国研究院合作，并在清华大学和中国北京的中国科学院物理研究所提供研究导师。从 2011 年开始，每三个夏天将有 6 至 12 名本科生和 3 名研究生前往中国。学生招生将在全国范围内进行，并将努力招收代表性不足的少数族裔。由于能源生产和管理方面的挑战以及环境问题，需要新的能源转换和存储工艺，而这些工艺需要具有定制特性的先进材料。例如需要提高太阳能系统的效率。该项目的学生将与领先的材料研究人员合作，探索设计和制造具有所需性能的材料的方法。 这种国际经验会拓宽学生的视野吗？了解世界，并为他们在未来的职业生涯中与中国和美国同事打交道做好准备。克拉克森计划将基于这种模式的研究和教育交流项目制度化。通过工业和学术合作伙伴扩大这一规模将有助于美国机构更广泛的国际化。
