This grant will provide partial travel support for five U.S. students or post-docs to attend the 2nd Beijing Normal University International School of Quantum Gravity, to take place from August 13th to August 18th, 2012. The students will be selected by a committee of leading experts in the field. These funds will simultaneously aide these students and post-docs to optionally attend the XXIX International Colloquium on Group-Theoretical Methods in Physics (GROUP29), which will have a loop quantum gravity session, and which will be held from August 20th to August 26th at the Chern Institute of Mathematics, Nankai University, not far from Beijing. The broad impact of this proposal will be in the preparation of human resources. Most of the courses taught at the BNU school are not taught at U.S. universities. Attendance at this type of conference is a formative event in the preparation of the new generation of U.S. researchers in the field.

这笔赠款将为五名美国学生或博士后提供部分旅费支持，以参加将于2012年8月13日至8月18日举行的第二届北京师范大学国际量子引力学院。 学生将由该领域的主要专家委员会选出。 这些资金将同时帮助这些学生和博士后有选择地参加第29届国际物理群论方法学术讨论会（GROUP29），该会议将于8月20日至8月26日在距离北京不远的南开大学陈省身数学研究所举行。这一建议的广泛影响将体现在人力资源的准备方面。 在BNU学校教授的大部分课程都不在美国大学教授。 参加这种类型的会议是在该领域的新一代美国研究人员的准备形成事件。
