The NSF award will primarily support students and Post-Doctoral researchers travel to IMCS 2020 conference. The International Meeting on Chemical Sensors (IMCS) will be held on Montreal May 10-14th 2020. This meeting will be the 18th in the series of international meetings that were initiated in 1983 in Fukuoka, Japan. The IMCS meetings are interdisciplinary covering all aspects of chemical and biosensors for gases, vapors and liquids. Sensor technology is widely applied to human medical diagnostics and health and fitness monitoring. The demand for environment sensing and development of sensor technology to determine the effects on human and animal health are critically important. In addition, with recent developments in changing weather patterns, and the impact of green-house gases and their adverse effects on the environment. We anticipate sweeping changes to the application of sensors to medicine, air quality monitoring, food safety and water quality in the near future. The objective of the International Meeting on Chemical Sensors (IMCS) held on Montreal May 10-14th 2020 is to bring researchers together at all levels (MS/PhD/undergraduate students, post-docs, early career, and senior researchers) from diverse field to present and discuss new development and cutting-edge tools related to all aspects of chemical sensing technology. In particular: (1) to provide an opportunity to new and established researchers in their fields to develop collaborations across disciplines, (2) to facilitate networking and career-building opportunities for the younger researchers, and (3) to enhance participation of women and under-represented minority groups in this field. This conference in particular will be of great benefit due to the interdisciplinary nature of chemical and biosensing. Bringing the scientists and engineers together for a four day meeting under beautiful surroundings in Montreal, it will foster interactions amongst Chemical Engineers, Bioengineers, Chemists, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Materials Scientists, Computer Engineers and business involved in sensor and sensor related technology. The conference provides opportunity for young scientists and engineers to build their careers, by interacting in person with colleagues, including more senior researchers. The meeting is strive to promote diversity of participants of students and post-doctoral researchers. In providing travel support, priority will be given to women, young researches and underrepresented minorities, who might not be able to attend for financial reasons. The past participants at IMCS have come from these different disciplines and from over 35 countries around the world. The plan for the meeting includes four plenary talks, approximately 40 invited talks, in addition to oral papers and posters. Speakers will be selected from submitted abstracts. The IMCS meeting will be advertised through ACS publications, ECS publications and mailing lists in addition to web pages for the meeting program.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.

NSF奖将主要支持学生和博士后研究人员前往IMCS 2020会议。国际化学传感器会议（IMCS）将于2020年5月10日至14日在蒙特利尔举行。这次会议将是1983年在日本福冈开始的一系列国际会议中的第18次会议。IMCS会议是跨学科的，涵盖了气体、蒸汽和液体的化学和生物传感器的各个方面。传感器技术广泛应用于人体医学诊断和健康健身监测。对环境传感的需求和传感器技术的发展，以确定对人类和动物健康的影响是至关重要的。此外，随着最近气候模式的变化，以及温室气体的影响及其对环境的不利影响的发展。我们预计，在不久的将来，传感器在医疗、空气质量监测、食品安全和水质方面的应用将发生翻天覆地的变化。2020年5月10日至14日在蒙特利尔举行的国际化学传感器会议（IMCS）的目标是将来自不同领域的各级研究人员（硕士/博士/本科生，博士后，早期职业和高级研究人员）聚集在一起，展示和讨论与化学传感技术各个方面相关的新发展和尖端工具。特别是：(1)为在各自领域的新老研究人员提供发展跨学科合作的机会；(2)为年轻研究人员提供建立网络和职业发展的机会；(3)加强妇女和代表性不足的少数群体在该领域的参与。由于化学和生物传感的跨学科性质，这次会议将特别有益。将科学家和工程师聚集在蒙特利尔美丽的环境中，为期四天的会议将促进化学工程师、生物工程师、化学家、电气工程师、机械工程师、材料科学家、计算机工程师以及涉及传感器和传感器相关技术的企业之间的互动。这次会议为年轻的科学家和工程师提供了机会，通过与同事（包括更资深的研究人员）面对面交流来建立自己的职业生涯。会议旨在促进学生和博士后研究人员的多样性。在提供旅费支助方面，将优先考虑妇女、年轻研究人员和人数不足的少数民族，因为他们可能因经济原因无法参加会议。IMCS过去的参与者来自这些不同的学科，来自世界各地超过35个国家。会议计划包括四次全体会议、约40次特邀会议以及口头文件和海报。演讲者将从提交的摘要中挑选。IMCS会议将通过ACS出版物、ECS出版物和邮件列表以及会议日程网页进行宣传。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
