Participant Support: 2023 Co-located International Advanced Manufacturing Conference (NAMRC/MSEC/LEM&P); New Brunswick, New Jersey; 12-16 June 2023

该奖项将支持来自STEM学科代表性不足的团体的约60名在美国机构学习的学生和应届毕业生参加2023年共同举办的国际先进制造会议（NAMRC/MSEC/LEM& P），包括由制造工程师协会北美制造研究所赞助的第51届北美制造研究会议（NAMRC 51），由美国机械工程师学会主办的国际制造科学与工程会议（MSEC 2023），以及由日本机械工程师学会主办的前沿制造/材料加工国际会议&（LEM& P 2023），将于2023年6月12日至16日在新泽西罗格斯-新不伦瑞克举行。这些共同举办的会议代表了美国和地球仪先进制造业的首要研究论坛，主题包括传统和新兴制造技术，增材制造，纳米/微米/中型制造，生物制造，制造设备和自动化，制造系统，质量控制和可靠性，先进材料加工，机器学习和人工智能的应用，可持续制造，生命周期工程，工程教育和许多其他交叉研究。因此，本届国际先进制造业大会将成为工业界、政府实验室和学术机构之间的全球桥梁。来自美国各院校的本科生、研究生以及应届毕业生，特别是来自STEM学科代表性不足的群体、经济弱势背景和第一代家庭的学生，将参加本届大会。在全国制造业会议上的研究对扩大美国的制造业研究基础至关重要。该奖项将通过支付注册和住宿费用，帮助降低选定学生参加会议的障碍。这将使他们能够与来自世界各地的工业和政府设施的领先研究人员和工程师以及来自国内和国际大学的学生和教师交流思想。奖项申请将通过在主要会议网站上发布，并直接由会议组织者，跟踪主席和研讨会组织者等发布。提交的申请将通过会议委员会的筛选过程，他们将根据申请人之前的会议参与，教育机构和个人背景优先考虑申请人，以扩大参与者的多样性。会议期间，获奖者将在会议议程中公布。该奖项将使入选者能够提高他们对先进制造研究的知识，并帮助他们成为工程师和研究人员，领导下一代美国制造业。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。

This award will support about 60 selected students and recent graduates studying in US institutions from groups underrepresented in STEM disciplines to participate in the 2023 co-located International Advanced Manufacturing Conference (NAMRC/MSEC/LEM&P), including the 51st North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC51) sponsored by the North American Manufacturing Research Institution of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC 2023) sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the International Conference on Leading Edge Manufacturing/Materials & Processing (LEM&P 2023) sponsored by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, to be held at Rutgers–New Brunswick, New Jersey, June 12-16, 2023. These co-located conferences represent the premiere research forum for advanced manufacturing in the U.S. and globe, with topics including conventional and emerging manufacturing technologies, additive manufacturing, nano-/micro-/meso- manufacturing, biomanufacturing, manufacturing equipment and automation, manufacturing systems, quality control and reliability, advanced materials processing, applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence, sustainable manufacturing, life cycle engineering, and engineering education and many other cross-cutting research. As such, this International Advanced Manufacturing Conference acts as a global bridge between industry, government laboratories, and academic institutions.Participation of undergraduate and graduate students as well as recent graduates from U.S. institutions, especially from groups underrepresented in STEM disciplines, economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and first-generation families, at national manufacturing conferences is crucial to expanding the manufacturing research base in the United States. This award will help lower the barrier for conference participation for selected students by defraying the costs of registration and accommodation. This will enable them to exchange ideas with leading researchers and engineers from industrial and governmental facilities around the world, as well as with students and faculty from both domestic and international universities. The call-for-award applications will be disseminated through postings on main conference websites and directly by conference organizers, track chairs, and symposium organizers, etc. Submitted applications will go through a selection process by the conference committee, who will prioritize applicants to broaden diversity of participants according to their prior conference involvement, educational institution, and personal background. During the conference, the awardees will be announced in the conference program. This award will enable selected participants to improve their knowledge of advanced manufacturing research and help them become engineers and researchers to lead the next generation of U.S. manufacturing.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.
