This action funds Andrew A. Campbell of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville to conduct a research project, entitled "Impact of electric bicycle sharing on transportation choices in Beijing," during the summer of 2012 at Tsinghua University in Beijing, People's Republic of China. The host scientist is Professor Xinmiao Yang, Institute of Transportation Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering.The Intellectual Merit of the research project is a well-timed contribution to the body of knowledge addressing how bicycle sharing affects transportation choices. The city of Beijing has announced plans to install a 50,000 bicycle fleet by 2015. Previous studies have found that systems using standard bicycles can both complement and compete with public transit. However, no known research has explored the idea of including motorized electric bicycles in a bike sharing system.T This research is relevant to cycling-friendly American communities. By reducing the effort required to propel a bicycle, electric bikes have the potential to open cycling to new demographics.The Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.

该行动资助田纳西大学诺克斯维尔分校的安德鲁·A·坎贝尔 (Andrew A. Campbell) 于 2012 年夏天在中华人民共和国北京的清华大学开展一项题为“共享电动自行车对北京交通选择的影响”的研究项目。 主持科学家是土木工程系交通工程研究所的杨新淼教授。该研究项目的智力价值在于对解决自行车共享如何影响交通选择的知识体系做出了及时的贡献。北京市已宣布计划到 2015 年安装 50,000 辆自行车车队。之前的研究发现，使用标准自行车的系统既可以与公共交通形成互补，又可以相互竞争。然而，还没有已知的研究探讨过将电动自行车纳入自行车共享系统的想法。这项研究与自行车友好型美国社区相关。通过减少推动自行车所需的努力，电动自行车有可能向新的人群开放自行车。 EAPSI 奖学金的更广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；各自地点的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施的介绍；以及对社会、文化和语言的定位。 这些活动符合 NSF 的目标，即在科学家、工程师和教育工作者职业生涯的早期进行国际合作教育，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。
