This award from the CBET Environmental Engineering program with co-funding from the CBET Environmental Sustainability and the EEC Broadening Participation in Engineering programs supports the 2021 Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) Research and Education Conference. The theme of the conference is “Environmental Engineering and Science at the Confluence”. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 AEESP Research and Education Conference was restructured around two events: 1) a virtual conference to be held on July 13-14, 2021 and 2) an in-person conference to be held on June 28-30, 2022 in St. Louis. The AEESP 2021 virtual conference will feature various workshops and training events for environmental engineers/scientists at various stages of their careers including 1) an NSF CAREER proposal writing workshop for junior faculty, 2) a workshop on DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) to summarize and discuss the lessons learned from a series of webinars on “Converging COVID-19, environment, health, and equity” funded by the NSF CBET Environmental Engineering program, and 3) a technical workshop on aerosol science/engineering and public health with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic. The AEESP 2022 in-person conference will also feature various workshops and training events organized around four areas of convergence: convergence of education and research, convergence of research in air, water, and soil, convergence of research and action, and convergence of research, practice, and entrepreneurship. Both the virtual and in-person AEESP conferences will provide numerous opportunities for the participants to exchange ideas and build new partnerships. The 2021/2022 AEESP Research and Education Conferences will be hosted by a group of academic institutions including Washington University in St. Louis (Lead Institution), Missouri University of Science & Technology, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and the University of Missouri-Columbia. The biannual AEESP Research and Education Conference is the premier event for AEESP members to exchange information on novel research, educational activities, and develop professional competencies. Key goals of the 2021/2022 AEESP conferences are to empower current and future environmental engineering and science (EES) professors to pursue the relevant “NSF Big Ideas”, catalyze convergence research and provide a forum for new perspectives and collaborations that will allow environmental engineers/scientists to apply their expertise and skills to address global and emerging societal Grand Challenges such as pandemic preparedness/prevention and climate change mitigation/adaptation. Both the 2021 virtual and 2022 in-person AEESP conferences seek to 1) broaden the participation of members of underrepresented groups in environmental engineering and science research and education; 2) empower the EES academic community to combat systemic racism; and 3) highlight research progress and identify new priority research directions. The 2021/2022 AEESP conferences will also provide speaking and networking opportunities for undergraduate/graduate students, and postdoctoral research fellows to inform the EES community of their research. Junior and prospective faculty members attending the conference will benefit from workshops devoted to NSF CAREER proposal writing, navigating the academic job search, and mentorship to broaden the participation of the EES community in NSF and federally-funded research.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.

该奖项来自CBET环境工程项目，由CBET环境可持续发展和EEC扩大参与工程项目共同资助，支持2021年环境工程与科学教授协会（AEESP）研究和教育会议。会议的主题是“汇流中的环境工程与科学”。由于COVID-19疫情持续，2021年AEESP研究及教育会议围绕两项活动进行重组：1）将于2021年7月13日至14日举行的虚拟会议及2）将于2022年6月28日至30日在圣路易斯举行的面对面会议。 AEESP 2021虚拟会议将为处于职业生涯各个阶段的环境工程师/科学家举办各种研讨会和培训活动，包括1）针对初级教师的NSF CAREER提案撰写研讨会，2）DEI研讨会（多元化、公平和包容），总结和讨论从一系列关于“融合COVID-19、环境、健康、由NSF CBET环境工程项目资助的“公平与公正”研讨会，以及3）以COVID-19大流行为重点的气溶胶科学/工程和公共卫生技术研讨会。AEESP 2022会议还将围绕四个融合领域举办各种研讨会和培训活动：教育和研究的融合，空气，水和土壤研究的融合，研究和行动的融合，以及研究，实践和创业的融合。无论是虚拟的还是面对面的AEESP会议都将为与会者提供许多交流想法和建立新伙伴关系的机会。2021/2022年AEESP研究和教育会议将由一组学术机构主办，包括圣路易斯华盛顿大学（牵头机构），密苏里州科技大学，南伊利诺伊大学爱德华兹维尔分校和密苏里-哥伦比亚大学。两年一度的AEESP研究和教育会议是AEESP成员交流新研究，教育活动和发展专业能力的首要活动。2021/2022年AEESP会议的主要目标是使当前和未来的环境工程和科学（EES）教授能够追求相关的“NSF大想法”，促进融合研究，并为新的视角和合作提供一个论坛，使环境工程师/科学家能够运用他们的专业知识和技能来应对全球和新兴的社会重大挑战，如大流行病的准备/预防和减缓/适应气候变化。无论是2021年虚拟和2022年在人AEESP会议寻求1）扩大代表性不足的群体在环境工程和科学研究和教育的成员的参与; 2）授权EES学术界打击系统性种族主义;和3）突出研究进展，并确定新的优先研究方向。2021/2022年AEESP会议还将为本科生/研究生和博士后研究员提供演讲和交流机会，以告知EES社区他们的研究。参加会议的初级和未来的教师将受益于专门用于NSF职业生涯的建议书写作，导航学术求职，并指导扩大在NSF和联邦资助的研究EES社区的参与研讨会。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。
