This award will help to support the first U.S.-Brazil Frontiers of Science and Engineering Symposium (USBFOS&E) organized by the National Academy of Science (NAS) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), respectively, in partnership with the National Academy of Sciences of Brazil. The symposium, to be held in Brazil in early 2014, is designed to facilitate exchange and collaboration across scientific and engineering disciplines and to enhance networks among early-career scientists and engineers. This would be the first bilateral Frontiers meeting involving both young scientists and engineers at the same meeting, and will also be the first to be held in Latin America. About 60-70 outstanding early-career scientists and engineers from the United States and Brazil (30-35 from each side) are expected to participate and attend this symposium. A program organizing committee, led by co-chairs from the U.S. and Brazil and consisting of additional members, will identify topics and speakers. The symposium format will include formal sessions with presentations by speakers on leading edge research, emerging technologies, and with multiple opportunities for informal interactions across science and engineering fields. Similar symposia in other regions have fostered interdisciplinary and international collaborations, and have served as a reference point for many of the emerging frontiers in research and innovation in the U.S. Presentations from the USBFOS&E will be posted on the NAS and NAE-FOE web sites.

该奖项将有助于支持第一个美国-巴西科学与工程前沿专题讨论会（USBFOS E）分别由国家科学院（NAS）和国家工程院（NAE）与巴西国家科学院合作举办。 该专题讨论会将于2014年初在巴西举行，旨在促进科学和工程学科之间的交流与合作，并加强早期职业科学家和工程师之间的网络。 这将是第一次有青年科学家和工程师参加的双边前沿会议，也是第一次在拉丁美洲举行。预计来自美国和巴西的约60-70名杰出的早期职业科学家和工程师（双方各30-35名）将参加并出席这次研讨会。 一个由美国和巴西联合主席领导的项目组织委员会将确定主题和发言人。 研讨会的形式将包括正式会议，由演讲者介绍前沿研究，新兴技术，以及跨科学和工程领域的非正式互动的多种机会。 其他地区的类似研讨会促进了跨学科和国际合作，并成为美国研究和创新领域许多新兴前沿的参考点。
