EscobarCBET - 1231324Membranes are widely used in the chemical, petrochemical, food processing, food packaging, medical and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, it is crucial for U.S. scientists and engineers to participate in activities that foster professional growth and new ideas in an area that impacts the U.S. economy. This proposal seeks funding to partially support the travel of 20 U.S. graduate students to attend the North American Membrane Society (NAMS) 2012 National Meeting in June 2012. The objective of this funding request is to encourage student participation in the largest American meeting focused on membrane science and engineering, to provide opportunities for them to present their work, meet other scientists and engineers from around the world with similar interests, and see state-of-the-art presentations from other research groups working in this area. This opportunity will help develop the next generation of scientists and engineers and the retain U.S. standing in membrane education and research. Attendence is expected from the most respected and accomplished membrane scientists and engineers from government, industry, and academia. The meeting will cover emerging areas of membrane science and engineering and feature three world-class lectures on water treatment and sustainability, gas separations, and materials. Broader Impacts:The requested support will allow U.S. graduate students to attend a very important meeting in the U.S. on membrane science and technology. The students will also develop professionally through an extensive student program comprising of the Young Membrane Scientist Forum, "Dining with the Legends" event, student workshop on career planning and a student poster competition. There will also be four workshops planned for students to receive intensive, tutorial training in key fundamental and developing areas of science and technology. The selection committee will ensure representation of students from underrepresented groups. Applications from students with disabilities will be encouraged. Student participation will enhance research infrastructure by giving students access to leading scientists and engineers from around the world in the technical sessions and in workshops. Students will also have the opportunity to network with potential employers and with students and faculty members with similar interests. This activity will produce better trained, more knowledgeable graduate students to push the frontiers of membrane science and technology in a wide range of practical applications.

膜广泛应用于化工、石化、食品加工、食品包装、医疗和制药行业。因此，对美国科学家和工程师来说，在影响美国经济的领域参与促进专业发展和新思想的活动至关重要。本提案寻求部分资金支持20名美国研究生参加2012年6月北美膜学会（NAMS） 2012年全国会议。本基金申请的目的是鼓励学生参加美国最大的膜科学与工程会议，为他们提供展示自己工作的机会，与来自世界各地的其他有相似兴趣的科学家和工程师会面，并观看在该领域工作的其他研究小组的最新技术报告。这个机会将有助于培养下一代科学家和工程师，并保持美国在膜教育和研究方面的地位。预计将有来自政府、工业界和学术界的最受尊敬和最有成就的膜科学家和工程师出席。会议将涵盖膜科学和工程的新兴领域，并以水处理和可持续性、气体分离和材料为主题，举办三场世界级的讲座。更广泛的影响：所要求的支持将允许美国研究生参加在美国举行的关于膜科学和技术的非常重要的会议。学生们还将通过广泛的学生项目，包括青年膜科学家论坛、“与传奇人物共进晚餐”活动、职业规划学生工作坊和学生海报比赛，在专业上得到发展。还计划举办四个讲习班，让学生在科学和技术的关键基础和发展领域接受密集的辅导培训。选拔委员会将确保来自代表性不足群体的学生得到代表。我们鼓励残疾学生提出申请。通过让学生在技术会议和研讨会上接触来自世界各地的顶尖科学家和工程师，学生的参与将加强研究基础设施。学生还将有机会与潜在的雇主以及有相似兴趣的学生和教师建立联系。这项活动将培养出训练有素、知识渊博的研究生，推动膜科学技术在广泛的实际应用领域的发展。
