Intellectual Merit: The North American Catalysis Society (NACS) meeting is the most prestigious meeting for the catalysis community outside of the International Congress on Catalysis. The NACS meeting is held each 2 years and is organized in turn by each of the Local US Catalysis Societies. The 23rd NACS meeting is being held in Louisville, KY. The meeting topics typically cover many aspects of catalysis utilizing both oral and poster presentations. Attendees can be immersed in various areas of catalysis, whether they are currently working in the area or wish to gain an understanding of catalysis work in a completely different arena. Some participants come from outside the US, thereby allowing initial contact with the global catalysis community. Prof. Gary Jacobs from the University of Kentucky is the chairman of the Kokes Award Committee which seeks funds to partially offset the costs for graduate students to participate in the NACS meeting. The support of graduate student attendees is an excellent way to allow them to begin the understanding of the diversity of work in the catalysis field. Broader Impacts: The entire meeting is an educational event for those workers in the field. This award would enable partial support of approximately 100 graduate students to attend the meeting. Many will be giving poster or even oral presentations. There will be ample contact with existing and new colleagues in catalysis. The work presented is current research at academic, industrial and national laboratories. The support of graduate student attendance has been a customary and well-placed investment from the Catalysis & Biocatalysis Program of CBET/ENG in NSF.

智力优势：北美催化学会 (NACS) 会议是国际催化大会之外催化界最负盛名的会议。 NACS 会议每两年举行一次，由美国各地催化学会轮流组织。第 23 届 NACS 会议正在肯塔基州路易斯维尔举行。会议主题通常通过口头和海报展示涵盖催化的许多方面。与会者可以沉浸在催化的各个领域，无论他们目前正在该领域工作，还是希望了解完全不同领域的催化工作。一些参与者来自美国以外的地区，从而可以与全球催化界进行初步接触。来自肯塔基大学的 Gary Jacobs 教授是 Kokes 奖委员会的主席，该委员会寻求资金来部分抵消研究生参加 NACS 会议的费用。研究生参加者的支持是让他们开始了解催化领域工作多样性的绝佳方式。更广泛的影响：整个会议对于现场工作人员来说是一次教育活动。该奖项将为大约 100 名研究生参加会议提供部分支持。许多人将提供海报甚至口头演讲。将与催化领域的现有和新同事进行充分的接触。所展示的工作是学术、工业和国家实验室的最新研究。对研究生出勤的支持是 NSF CBET/ENG 催化与生物催化项目的一项惯常且适当的投资。
