National Science Foundation Young Investigator Forum on Environmental Engineering Research and Education, Duke University, Spring 1997

皮尔斯9626774这一奖项是为了支持举办一次会议，以审议在支持环境工程实践的知识库方面取得的进展，这些进展是由得到国家科学基金会“年轻研究人员”项目支持的研究人员所取得的。从1984年的总统青年调查员(PYI)倡议开始，NSF总共支持了36个PYI、NYI(国家科学基金会青年调查员)和PFF(总统学院研究员)的总投资，其中包括来自行业的近500万美元的配套资金。这些调查人员进行的研究的多样性反映了该计划的目标，即将受污染的环境资源恢复到有用的质量，并减少固体、液体和气体排放到陆地、水和空气中损害其有用性的不利影响。本次会议的成果预计将用于环境工程研究计划的规划运作，因为它解决了环境工程实践中的突出问题。预计成果还将有助于推进国家科学基金会对其战略计划中阐明的将研究与教育相结合的核心战略的承诺。

Pierce 9626774 This is an award to support conduct of a conference to consider advances in the knowledge-base supporting environmental engineering practice that have been made by investigators who have been supported by the National Science Foundation's "young investigator" programs. Starting with the Presidential Young Investigators (PYI) initiative in 1984, NSF has supported a total of 36 PYI's, NYI's (National Science Foundation Young Investigators) and PFF's (Presidential Faculty Fellows) for a total investment including matching funds from industry of almost $5 million. The diversity of research that has been conducted by these investigators reflects the program's objectives to restore contaminated environmental resources to useful quality and to reduce adverse effects of solid, liquid and gaseous discharges into land, water and air that impair their usefulness. The product of this conference is expected to be used in planning operation of the Environmental Engineering Research program as it addresses outstanding issues in environmental engineering practice. Results are also expected to assist in advancing the National Science Foundation's commitment to the core strategy of integrating research and education as articulated in its strategic plan.
