This award provides financial support for travel expenses for a group of US researchers to attend the 17th US-Japan Conference on Composite Materials in Sapporo, Japan on August 1-2, 2016 and to visit the Structures and Advanced Composite Research unit of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in Tokyo, Japan on July 29, 2016. Composite materials play an increasingly critical role in a large number of industries, such as the energy, automotive, aerospace and defense industries. Themes covered by the conference represent an interdisciplinary spectrum of topics related to mechanics of composite materials and composite structures and includes topics such as analysis, design, manufacturing, and applications of advanced composites. The travel award will target early career faculty from US institutions of higher education. A special emphasis will be placed on engagement of faculty from underrepresented groups, minority-serving institutions and NSF EPSCoR states. The travel funding will promote intellectual exchange between US and Japan researchers in the area of composite materials. Funding through this award will increase the number of junior faculty members from academia who will be able to attend the conference due to the financial support for travel. In addition, the selection focus on underrepresented faculty and the inclusion of faculty from minority-serving institutions would potentially broaden the demographics of successful early-career faculty in this field. Planned group activities will also facilitate mentorship, professional development and help to build a professional network among this diverse group of early-career faculty.

该奖项为美国一群研究人员参加了2016年8月1日至2日在日本萨普罗举行的第17届美国 - 日本复合材料会议的差旅费，并参观日本航空航天航空航天勘探局（JAXA）在日本东京的结构和高级复合研究部门，2016年7月29日，综合材料越来越多地宣布重要的工业。行业。会议所涵盖的主题代表了与复合材料和复合结构力学有关的主题的跨学科谱，其中包括分析，设计，制造和高级复合材料的应用等主题。旅行奖将针对美国高等教育机构的早期职业教师。特别重点将放在代表性不足的团体，少数派服务机构和NSF EPSCOR国家的教师的参与上。旅行资金将在复合材料领域促进美国和日本研究人员之间的智力交流。通过该奖项的资金将增加学术界的初级教师人数，由于旅行的财务支持，他们将能够参加会议。此外，选择的重点是代表性不足的教师，并从少数派服务机构中纳入教师将有可能扩大该领域成功的早期职业教师的人口统计学。计划中的小组活动还将促进指导，专业发展，并有助于在这一多样的早期教师组中建立专业网络。
