该补助金为学生参与第三十四届年度国际固体自由成型制造（SFF）研讨会提供支持;德克萨斯州奥斯汀; 2023年8月14日至16日。SFF研讨会是一个转移和传播增材、自由成形和混合制造领域知识和理解的论坛。2022年，共有93所大学参加，其中68所为国内大学。超过43%的与会者是学生，共有693人参加。学生将有机会与来自学术界、研究实验室、工业界的研究人员以及来自国内和国际大学的学生进行互动和分享想法。为了使会议负担得起，从而让学生能够参加，旅行奖将资助符合条件的获奖者的会议注册费、住宿和旅行费用。学生支持申请的呼吁将通过以下方式传播：（1）电子邮件提交摘要的相应作者（由于在2023年4月），（2）电子邮件最近的SFF会议（2017-2022）的参与者，（3）SFF网站和（4）社交媒体（通讯和LinkedIn帖子）。提交的申请将通过会议委员会使用的选择标准，其中包括（1）学生必须来自美国机构和（2）学生必须通过提交论文或海报，或参加比赛，积极参与会议，优先考虑来自代表性不足的少数民族的学生。获奖学生将被邀请参加午餐小组讨论增材制造的研究和未来的职业机会。该奖项将为下一代领导者提供全球视野，接触最新的前沿思想，并洞察未来的挑战。该奖项反映了NSF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。

This grant provides support for student participation at the Thirty-Fourth Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) Symposium; Austin, Texas; 14-16 August 2023. The SFF Symposium is a forum for transfer and dissemination of knowledge and understanding in the field of additive, freeform and hybrid manufacturing. In 2022, 93 universities were represented, 68 of which were domestic. More than 43 percent of the meeting attendees were students with a total participation of 693 attendees. Students will have opportunities to interact and share ideas with researchers from academia, research laboratories, industry, and students from both domestic and international universities.In an effort to make the conference affordable, and therefore accessible to students, the travel award will contribute towards conference registration fees, accommodation and travel expenses of qualified awardees. The call for student support applications will be disseminated through: (1) emails to corresponding authors of submitted abstracts (due in April 2023), (2) emails to participants of recent SFF meetings (2017-2022), (3) SFF website and (4) social media (newsletter and LinkedIn posts). Submitted applications will go through a selection process by the conference committee using selection criteria that include (1) students must be from US institutions and (2) students must be actively participating in the conference through presenting a paper or poster, or participating in a competition, with preference given to students from underrepresented minorities. Student awardees will be invited to a luncheon panel discussing research and future career opportunities in additive manufacturing. This award will afford the next generation of leaders a global perspective, exposure to the latest cutting-edge ideas, and insights on future challenges.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.
