The proposal seeks funding to support graduate and postdoctoral student participation in the 26th meeting of the North American Catalysis Society (NACS) to be held in Chicago, Illinois June 16-20, 2019. The funds will provide registration fees and accommodation assistance to 38 students from U.S. universities as administered through the merit-based Kokes Travel Award program sponsored by the NACS. The students will present their research at the conference, attend lectures by leaders in the field of catalysis, and provide assistance to the organizers in running the meeting. The biennial NACS meetings are the largest North American meetings dedicated to catalysis. Student participation helps train young researchers in this vital aspect of science and enginering that supports advances in environmental pollution control, energy utilization, sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction, and competitiveness of the U.S. chemical and petroleum industries. The Kokes Award selection committee will ensure appropriate representation of women and underrepresented groups in making their awards.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该提案寻求资金，以支持研究生和博士后参加将于2019年6月16日至20日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的北美催化学会(NACS)第26届会议。这笔资金将为来自美国大学的38名学生提供注册费和住宿援助，这些学生是通过NACS赞助的基于功绩的科克斯旅行奖计划管理的。学生们将在会议上展示他们的研究成果，参加催化领域领导人的讲座，并为组织者举办会议提供帮助。每两年举行一次的NACS会议是北美规模最大的致力于催化的会议。学生参与有助于在科学和工程的这一重要方面培训年轻研究人员，支持在环境污染控制、能源利用、可持续发展和减少温室气体以及美国化工和石油行业的竞争力方面取得进展。Kokes奖评选委员会将确保女性和代表性不足的群体在颁发奖项时具有适当的代表性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
