U.S. Young Scientists at the 2017 URSI GASS

授予国家科学院的这一奖项将支持30名早期职业科学家参加将在加拿大蒙特利尔举行的国际无线电科学联合会大会和科学研讨会(URSI GASS)。三年一度的GASS是与URSI相关的最重要的会议。该奖项使早期职业的美国科学家能够参加URSI GASS，从而使美国能够在其最大的国际会议上为科学联盟做出积极贡献。URSI和美国URSI全国委员会(USNC-URSI)都强烈支持年轻科学家参与GASS。美国青年科学家前往URSI GASS的旅行奖学金计划将使早期职业研究人员能够在国际环境中展示他们的研究，了解无线电科学研究的新领域，熟悉URSI委员会的结构，并建立国际联系网络。这些研究员将接触到他们所在领域的政策方面，并了解影响他们所在领域的重大决策是如何做出的。他们还将被鼓励参加国际学生论文比赛和参加URSI委员会的会议。获得该奖项支持的科学家和学生将加强他们的教育和专业发展。与来自美国和其他国家的同事的互动将有助于促进新的合作和新网络的发展，最终导致新的科学研究推动该领域的发展。

This award to the National Academy of Sciences will support 30 early career scientists to attend the International Union of Radio Science's General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (URSI GASS), to be held in Montreal, Canada. The triennial GASS is the most important meeting associated with URSI.This award enables participation of early career U.S. scientists at the URSI GASS, thereby allowing the United States to actively contribute to the scientific union at its largest international meeting. Both URSI and the U.S. National Committee for URSI (USNC-URSI) strongly support the involvement of young scientists in the GASS. The program of U.S. young scientist travel fellowships to the URSI GASS will allow early career researchers to present their research in an international setting, hear about new areas of radio science research, gain familiarity with the URSI Commission structure, and build a network of international contacts. The fellows will be exposed to the policy aspects of their field and learn how major decisions that affect their field are made. They also will be encouraged to enter the International Student Paper competition and to engage in URSI Commission meetings.The scientists and students supported by this award will enhance their education and their professional development. Interactions with colleagues from both the U.S. and other countries will help foster new collaborations and the development of new networks, ultimately resulting in new scientific research that advances the field.
