NSF-REU Chemistry LG Travel Awards for REU and AMP students, 2014

该奖项是为了继续NSF-REU化学领导小组几年前发起的一项计划，该计划为REU和LSAMP参与者提供旅行支持，使他们能够在春季全国美国化学学会会议上展示他们的研究。NSF-REU领导小组旅行奖励计划将部分资助来自REU和LSAMP项目的本科生参加春季美国全国化学学会会议。这些需要旅行支持的学生的导师也将提供少量津贴。除了展示他们的研究成果，这些本科生还将参加旨在提供支持和指导的项目，对他们中的许多人来说，这将是他们在家庭和研究机构之外与科学界的第一次密切互动。支持计划将包括一个欢迎会议，向领导小组、国家科学基金会和其他获奖者介绍获奖者和导师，以及一个颁奖午宴，一位知名化学家将在午宴上发言，目的是向更广泛的化学家社区提供对获奖者的特别欢迎。

This award is to continue a program, initiated by the NSF-REU Chemistry Leadership Group several years ago, which has provided travel support to REU and LSAMP participants for the purpose of allowing them to present their research at the Spring National American Chemical Society Meetings. The NSF-REU Leadership Group Travel Awards Program will partially fund undergraduates from REU and LSAMP programs to attend the spring National American Chemical Society Meeting. Mentors of these students who need travel support will also be offered a small stipend. Besides presenting their research, these undergraduates will also attend programs that have been designed to provide support and guidance in what, for many of them, will be their first intense interaction with the scientific community beyond their home and research institutions. The support programs will include a welcome session to introduce recipients and mentors to the Leadership Group, to the NSF, and to other award recipients, as well as an awards luncheon at which a well-known chemist will speak, with the intent of providing a specific welcome of the award recipients to the wider community of chemists.
