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金计划，用于资助来自典型资源不足机构的教员，如新兴研究机构（ERIs）、少数族裔服务机构（MSIs）和社区学院。这些机构的教师往往有更高的教学负担，而且没有大量的旅行资金，这使得他们更难以参加科学会议。参加这些会议将使教师能够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课堂。美国气象学会（AMS）将为资源不足的机构的教员管理一项旅行补助金计划。AMS每年举办一次有数千名与会者的年会，并在全年举办小型专业会议。eri、msi和社区学院的教师将能够申请获得旅费和会议注册费的资助。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 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.
