Travel Grant: For Faculty from Under-Resourced Institutions to the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Community Meetings in 2024

该奖项将启动一项旅行补助计划，面向资源通常不足的机构的教师，如新兴研究机构(ERIS)、少数族裔服务机构(MSI)和社区学院。这些机构的教职员工往往教学负担较重，而且无法获得可观的差旅资金，这使得他们更难参加科学会议。参加这些会议将允许教师与其他研究人员建立联系，并将最新的研究和教学创新带回他们的课堂。美国气象学会(AMS)将为资源不足的机构的教师管理一项旅行补助计划。AMS主持有数千人参加的年度会议，以及全年规模较小的专业会议。ERIS、MSIS和社区学院的教职员工将能够申请获得旅行和会议注册费用的资金。这一奖励反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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 initiate a Travel Grant program for faculty from typically under-resourced institutions, such as Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and community colleges. Faculty at these institutions often have higher teaching loads and do not have access to significant travel funds, making it more difficult for them to attend scientific conferences. Attendance at these conferences will allow the faculty to establish connections to other researchers and bring back the latest innovations in research and teaching to their classrooms.The American Meteorological Society (AMS) will administer a Travel Grant program for faculty from under-resourced institutions. AMS hosts an Annual meeting with thousands of attendees, and smaller specialty meetings throughout the year. Faculty at ERIs, MSIs, and community colleges will be able to apply to receive funding for travel and conference registration costs.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.
