CTS-0111159 Zakin，Jacques，俄亥俄州州立大学（PI）; Baird，Donald，弗吉尼亚理工学院（Co-PI）该奖项为受邀参加2001年5月20-25日在土耳其安卡拉举行的第二届东部化学工程合作研究会议的美国学术研究人员提供国际团体旅费补助。与会者来自土耳其、希腊、以色列、约旦等东地中海国家，也包括来自美国的与会者。土耳其、希腊、以色列、约旦和美国之间的合作研究将作为这次会议的主要副产品受到极大的鼓励。会议将涉及的化学工程研究子学科包括：催化、先进材料、分离、系统工程和生物技术。 国家科学基金会的资金将用于大约20个美国化学工程学院的旅费，包括对5个著名的美国大学的部分支持。S.研究人员在各自的化学工程领域担任讨论领导者。 美国的会议参与计划旨在帮助确保年轻教师和研究生的参与，通过约50%的目标，这组。 五、总结会议在五个领域中的每一个领域的活动和成就的子学科报告将在会议结束后作为最终报告的一部分提供给NSF。土耳其组织者将支付当地的安排，以及支付7个额外的美国旅行。S.研究人员在地区和个人，他们特别想参加。S.将受益于这一计划凭借的生产关系，预计将出现导致专业知识的转让。

AbstractCTS-0111159Zakin, Jacques, Ohio State University (PI); Baird, Donald, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Co-PI)This award supports an international group travel grant for US academic researchers invited to the Second Eastern Chemical Engineering Conference for Collaborative Research to be held in Ankara, Turkey, May 20-25, 2001. The conference participants are from the eastern Mediterranean countries of Turkey, Greece, Israel, Jordan, and also include participants from the United States. Collaborative research between Turkey, Greece, Israel, Jordan, and the United States will be very much encouraged as the key by-product of this conference. Chemical engineering research sub-disciplines to be covered at the meeting include: catalysis, advanced materials, separations, systems engineering, and biotechnology. NSF funding will be used for travel costs for about twenty Unites States chemical engineering faculty including partial support for five prominent U. S. researchers to serve as discussion leaders in their respective areas of chemical engineering. The USA participation plan for the Conference is designed to help assure the participation of young faculty and graduate students through an approximate 50% target for this group. Five, sub-discipline reports summarizing the activities and accomplishments of the meeting in each of the five areas will be provided to NSF after the meeting as part of the final report. The Turkish organizers will pay for local arrangements as well as pay for the travel of seven additional U. S. researchers in areas and for individuals they particularly want to attend.The U. S. will benefit from this program by virtue of the productive relationships that are expected to emerge leading to the transfer of expertise.
