This grant provides partial funds for the organization of the 16th International Conference on Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM) at the University of Maryland, College Park on August 5-9, 2013, specifically to support travel stipends and to enable the participation of U.S. graduate students and junior faculty members. The conference will host approximately 60 oral presentations and 100 posters focusing on topics such as sub-atomic imaging resolution in ultra-high vacuum and milli-Kelvin temperatures, nanoscale tribology, chemical force microscopy and multi-scale modeling techniques that combine atomistic simulation with classical mechanics.Hosting the conference in the U.S. in 2013 will enable a large number of domestic investigators to attend and interact with the most prominent researchers in the field of NC-AFM, most of whom reside in Europe and Japan. Exposure of young investigators to presentations on the latest NC-AFM techniques and their application to scientific and engineering problems will help educate the next generation of scientists and raise the level of interest in the U.S., such that the country can emerge as a competitor in this important area of nanoscale science and technology.

该基金为2013年8月5日至9日在马里兰大学帕克分校举行的第16届非接触原子力显微镜国际会议（NC-AFM）的组织提供部分资金，特别用于支持旅行津贴，并使美国研究生和初级教员能够参加会议。会议将举办约60场口头报告和100张海报，重点讨论超高真空和毫开尔文温度下的亚原子成像分辨率、纳米级摩擦学、化学力显微镜以及将原子模拟与经典力学相结合的多尺度建模技术。2013年在美国举办会议将使大量的国内研究人员能够参加并与NC-AFM领域最杰出的研究人员互动，这些研究人员大部分居住在欧洲和日本。让年轻的研究人员了解最新的NC-AFM技术及其在科学和工程问题上的应用，将有助于教育下一代科学家，提高对美国的兴趣水平，这样美国就可以在纳米科学和技术的这个重要领域成为竞争对手。
