PI: Yang, Ralph T. and Norman N. LiInstitution: University of Michigan Ann arbor提案编号：1110146标题：第六届美中化学工程会议，中国北京，2011年10月30日- 11月3日知识分子奖励本基金将为参加2011年11月7日- 10日在中国北京举行的第六届美中化学工程会议的美国演讲者、论文作者，特别是年轻的学术参与者提供旅费（日期自提案提交后已更改）。会议的主题是：清洁能源的化学工程。会议由中国工程院、中国科学院、中国化学工业与工程学会（CIESC）和美国化学工程师学会（AIChE）共同主办。会议的目的是为美国化学工程师提供一个论坛，与他们在中国的同行讨论最新进展，交流研究思想并讨论合作机会。这3万美元将为大约30名美国演讲者、论文作者，特别是参加会议的年轻学术参与者提供部分旅行补助金。旅行奖将根据以下因素进行评选：(1)演讲者/参与者的科学或技术价值；（二）与年龄、岗位相关的专业资格；(3)机构和地域分布。更广泛的影响：新能源和可再生能源、清洁燃料和环境等全球性问题将成为讨论的焦点，这将有利于美国与会者。直接沟通将有助于开发和扩大美国化工产品在中国潜在的巨大市场。

PI: Yang, Ralph T. and Norman N. LiInstitution: University of Michigan Ann ArborProposal Number: 1110146Title: The 6th USA-China Chemical Engineering Conference, Beijing, China,October 30-November 3, 2011Intellectual MeritThis grant is to provide travel funds for U.S. speakers, authors of papers, and particularly young academic participants to The 6th USA-China Chemical Engineering Conference, to be held in Beijing, China, on November 7- 10, 2011 (the dates have been changed since the proposal was submitted). The theme of the conference is: Chemical Engineering for Clean Energy. The Conference is co-sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chinese Academy of Science, the Chemical Industry & Engineering Society of China (CIESC), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). The purpose of the Conference is to provide a forum for U.S. Chemical Engineers to meet their counterpart in China to discuss the latest advancements, exchange research ideas and discuss opportunities for collaboration. The $30,000 will provide for approximately 30 partial travel grant awards to U.S. speakers, authors of papers, particularly young academic participants at the Conference. Travel awards will be made based on the following considerations: (1) scientific or technological merit of the speaker/participant; (2) professional qualifications relative to age and position; (3) institutional and geographical distribution.Broader Impacts: Global issues such as new and renewable energy sources, clean fuels and environment will be among the focal points of discussion that will be beneficial to the U.S. participants. The direct communication will facilitate development and expansion of the potentially vast markets in China for U.S. chemical products.
