Request for Travel Grant for Graduate Students to Attend a Conference on the Structure and Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured Materials

主要研究者：J. Weertman西北大学NSF提案0119281摘要申请研究生参加纳米结构材料的结构和机械性能会议的旅费资助该提案要求资助5名研究生参加联合工程基金会会议。 会议的主题是纳米结构材料的结构和机械性能：促进计算机模拟，实验和理论之间的协同作用。 学生们将与同等数量的知名高级与会者配对。 因此，研究生不仅将通过参加关于其论文主题的国际会议来增加他们的专业和科学教育，而且还将开始与所在领域的领导者建立联系。奖学金将仅限于美国公民和永久居民，并将特别考虑增加获奖者的多样性，包括妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。

PI: J. WeertmanNorthwestern U.Abstract for NSF Proposal 0119281Request for Travel Grant for Graduate Students to Attend a Conference on the Structure and Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured MaterialsThis proposal requests funds to support 5 graduate students to attend a United Engineering Foundation Conference. The title of the conference is Structure and Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured Materials: Promoting a Synergy Among Computer Simulations, Experiments and Theory. The students will be paired with an equal number of prominent senior attendees. The graduate students will thus not only increase their professional and scientific education by attending an international conference on their thesis subject but also begin to network with leaders in their field. The scholarship offer would be limited to US citizens and permanent residents, and special consideration will be given to increase the diversity of the awardees to include women and underrepresented minorities.
