2001 National Science Foundation Design, Manufacturing and Industrial Innovation Research Conference; Tampa, Florida; January 7-10, 2001

该奖项负责举办年度国家科学基金设计、制造和工业创新研究会议。会议将涉及设计、制造和工业创新部（DMII）所有项目领域的研究人员，工程教育和中心（EEC）、电气和通信系统（ECS）、土木和机械结构（CMS）部门的制造研究人员，这些研究人员位于工程、信息和智能系统（IIS）部门，位于计算机和信息科学与工程部门，材料研究（DMR），隶属于数学和物理科学理事会，国际项目（INT），社会，行为和经济研究，特别是创新和组织变革计划（IOC），隶属于社会，行为和经济科学理事会，从事制造相关研究的人将展示他们当前研究中的正在进行的活动，并参加超出其直接研究领域的会议。正在进行的制造业相关研究活动由墨西哥国家科学技术委员会（CONACyT）的受资助者和加拿大自然科学与工程研究委员会（NSERC）和国家研究委员会（NRC）的受资助者提供。会议确保每个研究人员都了解他们的同事正在进行的活动。这种活动可以消除它们的重复工作，并可能产生一定程度的合作。预期研究活动的效率将全面提高。此外，会议计划组织允许充足的时间在会议上与集体研究社区详细讨论制造研究，并向国家科学基金会提供反馈和输入。最后，受资助者与各司方案主任之间的个人接触应有助于澄清其工作中的许多当前问题。会议的目的是：(1)开阔与会者的视野；(2)促进思想和技术从一个研究领域向另一个研究领域的转移；(3)允许在相关研究领域工作的人了解他们的同行，以避免重复研究并鼓励合作；(4)允许来自集体研究社区，NSF, CONACyT， NSERC和NRC项目人员的个人联系，以详细讨论制造研究（这应该有助于澄清正在进行的项目中的许多当前问题）。参加会议的人可以较早地接触到传播的信息。

The award is to conduct the annual National Science Foundation Design, Manufacturing and Industrial Innovation Research Conference. The conference will involve researchers in all program areas within the Division of Design, Manufacture and Industrial Innovation (DMII), the manufacturing researchers in the Divisions of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC), Electrical and Communication Systems (ECS), Civil and Mechanical Structures (CMS), located within the Directorate for Engineering, Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS), located within the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, Materials Research (DMR), located within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, International Programs (INT), Social, Behavioral, and Economic Research, specifically the Innovation and Organizational Change Program (IOC), located in the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences who are in manufacturing related research will present ongoing activities in their current research and attend sessions which will extend beyond their immediate area of research. Ongoing research in manufacturing related research activities are presented by the grantees from the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACyT), from locations within Mexico, and grantees from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the National Research Council (NRC), from locations within Canada. The conference ensures that the individual researchers are informed about the ongoing activities of their colleagues. An elimination of duplication of their efforts may be achieved and a degree of cooperation may result from this activity. An overall improvement of efficiency of the research activity could be expected. In addition, the conference program organization allows for ample time to discuss manufacturing research in detail with the collective research community at the meeting, with feedback to and input from the National Science Foundation. Finally, personal contacts between the grantees and program directors in the Divisions should contribute to clarify many current issues in their work.The aims of the conference are: (1) to broaden the outlook of all participants; (2) promote transfer of ideas and technology from one area of research to another; (3) to allow those working in a related area of research to get to know their peers so as to avoid duplication of research and to encourage cooperation, and (4) to allow personal contacts from the collective research community, the NSF, CONACyT, NSERC, and NRC program staff to discuss manufacturing research in detail (this should contribute to clarifying many current problems in ongoing projects). Attendees to the conference gain an early access to the information disseminated.
