This grant provides travel support for the 19th US-Japan Conference on Composite Materials (CCM) from July 22-24, 2020 and visit to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Kakuda Space Center, on July 21, 2020, in Sendai, Japan. The 19th US-Japan CCM is the next in a series of conferences organized by the Japan Society for Composite Materials and the American Society for Composites to promote science of composite materials and provide a platform for the intellectual exchange between US and Japanese researchers. Composite materials research enabled development of ground-breaking technologies across a wide spectrum of industries such as aerospace, clean energy, and automotive, that are vital to the United States’ economy, national security, and the nation's current standing as the world’s leading research- and technology-driven society. Early-career faculty from US universities will be the primary recipients of the travel support. A special emphasis will be placed on engagement of faculty from underrepresented groups and minority-serving institutions.The main theme of the 19th US-Japan CCM is mechanics of composite materials. For the first time, the US-Japan CCM will be collocated with the Euro-Japan Conference on Composite Materials, which is supported by the European Society for Composite Materials and Japan Society for Composite Materials. The award will provide a rare opportunity for the early career faculty from the US institutions of higher education to participate in the US-Japan and Euro-Japan CCM, visit the JAXA Kakuda Space Center and get a deeper perspective on the ongoing research and development in composite materials in Japan. Carefully devised group activities will promote intellectual exchange, development of international research and mentorship networks, and support professional success of the early career faculty from diverse backgrounds and institutions.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.

这笔赠款为2020年7月22日至24日举行的第19届美日复合材料会议（CCM）提供旅行支持，并于2020年7月21日访问日本宇宙航空研究开发机构（JAXA）卡库达航天中心。第19届美日CCM是由日本复合材料学会和美国复合材料学会组织的一系列会议中的下一个，旨在促进复合材料科学，并为美国和日本研究人员之间的知识交流提供平台。复合材料的研究使突破性技术在航空航天，清洁能源和汽车等广泛的行业中得以发展，这对美国的经济，国家安全以及国家目前作为世界领先的研究和技术驱动型社会的地位至关重要。美国大学的早期职业教师将成为旅行支持的主要受益者。将特别强调来自代表性不足的团体和少数民族服务机构的教师的参与。第19届美日CCM的主题是复合材料力学。美日CCM将首次与欧洲-日本复合材料会议（Euro-Japan Conference on Composite Materials）同时举行，该会议由欧洲复合材料学会（European Society for Composite Materials）和日本复合材料学会（Japan Society for Composite Materials）支持。该奖项将为来自美国高等教育机构的早期职业教师提供一个难得的机会，参加美日和欧日CCM，参观JAXA卡库达航天中心，并深入了解日本正在进行的复合材料研究和开发。精心设计的小组活动将促进智力交流，国际研究和导师网络的发展，并支持来自不同背景和机构的早期职业教师的专业成功。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
