Group Travel: XIX International Congress of Entomology; to be held in Beijing, China, June 28-July 4, 1992

一笔整体旅行补助金将资助32名美国科学家参加1992年夏天在北京举行的国际昆虫学大会。亚洲特别是中国的科学家很难参加国际会议，这次大会是交流和科学交流的重要机会。昆虫学大会每四年举行一次，这意味着它们是总结过去和制定未来昆虫科学进程的里程碑事件。大会的计划包括专题讨论会、研讨会、论文和其他活动，分为17个部分，代表了昆虫学和相关科学的整个范围。美国科学家的广泛参与是可取的；不幸的是，旅行和其他费用将是巨大的，如果不是令人望而却步的话，特别是对学生和初级科学家来说。旅行补助申请表将广泛分发，所有美国科学家都有资格。已经成立了一个委员会来审查申请并作出裁决。一半的奖金将颁发给学生，年轻科学家将优先获得。申请将根据对大会的建议贡献以及出席会议将促进申请人或其他人工作的程度进行排名。

A block travel grant will provide support for 32 U.S. scientists to attend the International Congress of Entomology in Beijing in summer of 1992. It has been difficult for scientists from Asia and particularly China to attend international meetings and this Congress represents important opportunities for communication and scientific exchange. The quadrennial schedule of Entomology Congresses means that they are milestone events in summarizing the past and formulating the future course of insect sciences. The program for the congress consists of symposia, workshops, contributed papers and other activities in 17 sections representing the entire range of entomology and associate sciences. Broad participation by U.S. scientists is desirable; unfortunately, costs of travel and other expenses will be substantial, if not prohibitive, particularly for students and junior-level scientists. Application forms for travel grants will be widely distributed and all U.S. scientists will be eligible. A committee has been formed to review applications and make wards. Half of the awards will be made to students and preference will be given to junior scientists. Applications will be ranked based on proposed contributions to the Congress and the degree to which attendance will further the work of the applicant or others.
