This award provides financial support for travel expenses for a group of US researchers to present papers and participate in mentoring activities at the 24th International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM) on August 21-26, 2016 in Montreal, Canada. This travel support would increase the visibility of the US delegation at this conference, as well build long-term professional networks for the supported early career researchers to enable and encourage them to be active in the IUTAM and ICTAM throughout their career. The travel award will target early career researchers from US, with a significant number selected from underrepresented groups. The early career researchers will be exposed to the latest developments in theoretical and applied mechanics, interact with many of the leaders and pioneers in the field, and to establish professional relationships with their peers. In the long term, such visibility and mentoring will help ensure the presence of leading US researchers in the international theoretical and applied mechanics community. ICTAM is the leading international Congress for world mechanicians and is organized under the auspices of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM). The International Congress is held every four years and includes plenary lectures, mini-symposia, pre-nominated sessions and poster sessions. The selected group of researchers will be paired with a member of the USNC/TAM or another senior US researcher who will assist the young researchers in identifying key activities and networking opportunities. A mentoring breakfast will also be held early in the Congress so mentors and mentees can interact.

该奖项为一组美国研究人员在2016年8月21-26日在加拿大蒙特利尔举行的第24届国际理论和应用力学大会(ICTAM)上发表论文和参加指导活动提供旅费资助。这种旅行支持将提高美国代表团在本次会议上的知名度，并为得到支持的早期职业研究人员建立长期的专业网络，使他们能够并鼓励他们在整个职业生涯中积极参与IUTAM和ICTAM。该旅游奖项将面向来自美国的早期职业研究人员，其中相当一部分人是从代表性较低的群体中挑选出来的。早期职业研究人员将接触到理论和应用力学的最新发展，与该领域的许多领导者和先驱互动，并与他们的同行建立专业关系。从长远来看，这种可见性和指导将有助于确保领先的美国研究人员出现在国际理论和应用机械界。ICTAM是领先的世界机械师国际大会，由国际理论和应用力学联合会(IUTAM)主办。国际大会每四年举行一次，包括全体演讲、小型研讨会、预先提名的会议和海报会议。选定的研究人员小组将与美国国家科学委员会/的一名成员或另一名美国高级研究人员配对，他们将帮助年轻研究人员确定关键活动和网络机会。大会还将提前举行导师早餐会，以便导师和学员进行互动。
