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 retain U.S.?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. The requested support will allow U.S. graduate students to attend the 2012 NAMS National Meeting and present research results on membrane science and technology. The students will 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.

EscobarCBET -1231324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，美国科学家和工程师参与促进专业发展和影响美国经济的新思想的活动至关重要。 该提案旨在为20名美国研究生参加2012年6月北美膜学会（NAMS）2012年全国会议提供部分资助。 这项资助申请的目的是鼓励学生参加美国最大的会议，重点是膜科学和工程，为他们提供机会，介绍他们的工作，满足来自世界各地的其他科学家和工程师有类似的兴趣，并看到国家的最先进的演示文稿从其他研究小组在这一领域的工作。 这个机会将有助于培养下一代科学家和工程师，并留住美国。在膜教育和研究方面的地位。 出席会议的是来自政府、工业和学术界最受尊敬和最有成就的膜科学家和工程师。 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，气体分离和材料三个世界级讲座为特色。 所要求的支持将允许美国研究生参加2012年NAMS全国会议，并介绍膜科学和技术的研究成果。 学生将通过一个广泛的学生计划，包括青年膜科学家论坛，专业发展？和传奇一起吃饭？此外，还举办了一个活动，学生职业规划工作坊和学生海报比赛。 还将为学生举办四个讲习班，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的代表性。 残疾学生的申请将受到鼓励。 学生的参与将通过让学生在技术会议和研讨会上接触来自世界各地的领先科学家和工程师来加强研究基础设施。 学生还将有机会与潜在的雇主以及具有类似兴趣的学生和教师建立联系。 这项活动将产生更好的训练，更有知识的研究生，推动膜科学和技术的前沿在广泛的实际应用。
