This grant will provide partial travel support for 35 junior US-based researchers (assistant professors, postdoctoral associates and graduate students) to attend the 2019 Foundations of Computer-Aided Process Design (FOCAPD-19) Conference that will be held from July 14 to 18, 2019, in Copper Mountain, Colorado. FOCAPD-19 will bring together the most important international researchers in the field of process design. Process design is being profoundly impacted by the convergence of high-performance computing and advances in machine learning and optimization. In the field of process design the demand is for cost-effective, energy efficient and highly functional designs. This is coupled with an increased desire for rapid innovation to translate advances in science into engineered products. Furthermore, the demands of society are for zero-accident chemical production combined with a low tolerance for product faults, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. The design process itself is also being driven to high performance by global competition and adoption of streamlined digital information management systems that link every increasing scope of design problems, from the initial molecular discovery to process implementation. The junior US-based researchers supported by this grant will have the opportunity to interact with academic and industrial researchers from around the world and exchange ideas on the latest advances on process design research and education. The organizers expect to attract members of under-represented groups that they may otherwise be unable to attend the Conference. The junior researchers will have an opportunity to interact with each other and with more experienced researchers in the field, which will positively influence their future professional development.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.

该基金将为35名美国初级研究人员（助理教授、博士后助理和研究生）参加2019年计算机辅助工艺设计基础（FOCAPD-19）会议提供部分旅费，该会议将于2019年7月14日至18日在科罗拉多州铜山举行。FOCAPD-19将汇集工艺设计领域最重要的国际研究人员。过程设计正受到高性能计算的融合以及机器学习和优化方面的进步的深刻影响。在工艺设计领域，需求是具有成本效益，节能和高功能的设计。与此同时，人们越来越渴望快速创新，将科学进步转化为工程产品。此外，社会对零事故化学品生产的要求与对产品故障的低容忍度相结合，特别是在制药行业。设计过程本身也受到全球竞争和采用流线型数字信息管理系统的推动，这些系统将从最初的分子发现到过程实施的每一个日益增加的设计问题联系起来。获资助的美国初级研究人员将有机会与来自世界各地的学术和工业研究人员互动，并就工艺设计研究和教育的最新进展交换意见。组织者希望吸引代表人数不足的群体的成员，否则他们可能无法参加会议。初级研究人员将有机会相互交流，并与该领域更有经验的研究人员交流，这将对他们未来的专业发展产生积极的影响。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。
