This award is an international travel grant to the American Rock Mechanics Association Foundation (ARMA/F) to support the U.S. delegate to the 2013, 2014 and 2015 International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) Council meetings and symposia. The U.S. delegate is Peter Smeallie, the executive director of ARMA and the ARMA/F. Mr. Smeallie serves on the ISRM Council and represents the interests of the U.S. rock mechanics community. The U.S. delegate will attend the ISRM Council and Commission meetings, as appropriate, in Poland in 2013, Japan in 2014, and Montreal in 2015. Participation in the work of the ISRM enhances U.S. geo-engineering and rock mechanics by providing an international perspective on important issues currently being addressed by ISRM, such as international underground research laboratories, radioactive waste disposal, rock testing methods, application of geophysics in rock mechanics, and post-mining rock mechanics. The ISRM meetings, at which up to 51 nations participate, will also allow the opportunity to generate international interest in U.S. rock mechanics research and education. U.S. participation in the activities of ISRM has a direct impact on issues of national importance through collaborative alliances fostered by the international society. These areas include resource exploration and production, national security issues, environmental considerations, and civil infrastructure systems through advances in tunneling and excavation technologies.

该奖项是向美国岩石力学协会基金会 (ARMA/F) 提供的国际旅行补助金，用于支持美国代表参加 2013 年、2014 年和 2015 年国际岩石力学学会 (ISRM) 理事会会议和研讨会。美国代表是 ARMA 和 ARMA/F 的执行董事 Peter Smeallie。 Smeallie 先生在 ISRM 理事会任职，代表美国岩石力学界的利益。美国代表将酌情出席 2013 年在波兰、2014 年在日本和 2015 年在蒙特利尔举行的 ISRM 理事会和委员会会议。参与 ISRM 的工作将通过对 ISRM 目前正在解决的重要问题提供国际视角来增强美国的地球工程和岩石力学，例如国际地下研究实验室、放射性废物处理、岩石测试方法、地球物理学在岩石力学中的应用以及 采矿后岩石力学。 ISRM 会议有多达 51 个国家参加，也将有机会激发国际社会对美国岩石力学研究和教育的兴趣。美国参与 ISRM 的活动，通过国际社会培育的合作联盟，对国家重要问题产生直接影响。这些领域包括资源勘探和生产、国家安全问题、环境考虑以及通过隧道和挖掘技术进步实现的民用基础设施系统。
