CTS-9613827杨 这笔赠款将为参加1997年5月29日在中国北京举行的第二届中美化学工程联合会议的美国论文作者和美国全体讲师提供旅费。 第一次联席会议于1982年在北京举行。 这是一次非常成功的会议，是美国代表团对中国化学工程的一次“开门”会议。 第二次联合会议将成为美国合作机会的理想论坛。 与第一届会议一样，AIChE及其中国同行中国化学工业与工程学会（CIESC）将是会议的赞助商。 此外，德国、日本和韩国的对应化学工程学会将作为共同赞助者加入，从而扩大会议的范围和影响。 第二届会议将是化学工程领域最大的正式国际会议。 25，000美元的拟议预算将为美国论文作者和应邀参加会议的全体演讲者提供20-25份部分旅费赠款。 旅费的发放将基于以下考虑：（1）论文的科学或技术价值;（2）是否有其他旅费来源;（3）与年龄和职位有关的专业资格;（4）机构和地域分配。 所有奖项将完全符合1964年的民权法案。 将遵循NSF关于美国航空公司的旅行政策。 ***

CTS-9613827 YANG This grant will provide funds for travel grant awards to U.S. authors of papers accepted for presentation and U.S. plenary lecturers at the Second Joint USA/China Chemical Engineering Conference to be held in Beijing, China on May 29, 1997. The First Joint Conference was held in 1982, also in Beijing. This was a highly successful conference that served as a "door-opening" meeting to Chinese chemical engineering by the U.S. delegation. The Second Joint Conference will serve as an ideal forum for U.S. opportunities for cooperation. As in the First Conference, the AIChE and its Chinese counterpart, Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China (CIESC), will be sponsors of the Conference. In addition, the counterpart chemical engineering societies of Germany, Japan and Korea will join as co-sponsors, thus expanding the scope and impact of the Conference. The Second Conference will be the largest formal international conference in Chemical Engineering. The proposed budget of $25,000 will provide for 20-25 partial travel grant awards to U.S. authors of papers and invited plenary lecturers at the Conference. Travel awards will be made based on the following considerations: (1) scientific or technological merit of the paper; (2) availability of other sources of travel funding; (3) professional qualifications relative to age and position; (4) institutional and geographical distribution. All awards will be made in full compliance with the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. NSF travel policies with respect to U.S. air carriers will be followed. ***
