Travel Support for US Researchers Attending the 14th Marcel Grossmann Meeting in Rome - July 12-18, 2015.

该奖项旨在帮助从事引力物理研究的美国科学家参加将于2015年7月12日至18日在罗马举行的第14届马塞尔·格罗斯曼会议，该会议将讨论理论和实验广义相对论、天体物理学和相对论场论的最新发展。马塞尔·格罗斯曼会议是引力领域的两个主要国际会议之一。它每三年组织一次，来自世界各地的约500-1000人参加。该奖项为来自美国的最值得参加的参赛者提供旅行支持。该奖项将被分享，优先考虑口头报告摘要被接受的参与者和初级参与者。一个由引力物理理论家和实验学家组成的小组将被召集，以评估来自美国的合格候选人的旅行资助申请。演讲摘要被接受的参与者和没有或减少了NSF资金的研究人员将被优先考虑。评审团将根据收到的申请的质量和数量来决定奖励的数量。

This award facilitates the participation of US scientists working in gravitational physics in the 14th Marcel Grossmann meeting on recent developments in theoretical and experimental general relativity, astrophysics and relativistic field theories, to be held in Rome from July 12-18, 2015. The Marcel Grossmann meeting is one of the two main international conferences in gravitation. It is organized every three years and is attended by approximately 500-1000 participants from all over the world. This award provides travel support to the most deserving participants from the US. The award will be shared, giving priority to participants with accepted abstracts for oral presentations and junior participants.A panel comprised of theoreticians and experimentalists in gravitational physics will be convened to evaluate applications for travel support from qualified candidates from the US. Priority will be given to participants with accepted talk abstracts and to researchers with either no or reduced NSF funding. The panel will decide on the number of awards depending on the quality and quantity of applications received.
