Support for US Scholars and Students to Participate in the 2005 International Symposium on Nanomanufacturing; Limassol, Cyprus; November 3-5, 2005

这笔赠款提供的资金将使美国学者能够参加2005年纳米制造国际研讨会。国际纳米制造研讨会(ISNM)是世界领先的论坛，学者、工程师和企业界成员齐聚一堂，讨论纳米制造的未来。保持美国在纳米制造方面的领导地位对国家利益很重要，因此美国学者应该密切参与ISNM的活动和讨论。具体地说，美国学者需要能够分享他们的工作，向该领域的其他专家学习，并在场领导将塑造纳米制造社区观点的讨论。为此，这笔赠款的资金将主要用于支付将参加2005年ISNM(将在塞浦路斯举行)的美国与会者的旅费。具体而言，该基金将为以下活动提供支持：-美国学者参加海报会议、全体讲座和教程--美国青年学者(例如学生)参加设计项目竞赛--从ISNM 2005和amp；2006--为代表不足的学者参加2005年ISNM提供旅行支持。这笔赠款的预期好处包括：(1)在世界范围内向美国学术界/工程界迅速分享和传播纳米制造科学，(2)继续承认美国在该领域的领导地位，以及(3)通过以下方式改善美国人力资源：(1)通过设计竞赛培训年轻的纳米工程研究人员(2)通过全体演讲者传播知识(3)为纳米制造社区的教育创建教程(4)从代表不足的群体中招聘学者。

This grant provides funding that will enable US scholars to participate in the 2005 International Symposium on Nanomanufacturing. The International Symposium for NanoManufacturing (ISNM) serves as the world's leading forum in which scholars, engineers and members of the business community gather to discuss the future of Nanomanufacturing. Maintaining US leadership in Nanomanufacturing is important to the national interest and therefore US scholars should be intimately involved in the activities and discussions that take place at ISNM. Specifically, US scholars need to be able to share their work, learn from other experts in the field, and be present to lead in the discussions that will shape the perspective of the Nanomanufacturing community. Toward this end, the funding from this grant will be primarily used to defray the cost of travel for US participants that will attend ISNM 2005 (to be held in Cyprus). Specifically the funds will provide support for: - US scholars to participate in poster sessions, plenary talks and tutorials-US young scholars (e.g. students) to participate in a design project competition - The recruitment of US scholars from under represented groups for ISNM 2005 & 2006 - Travel support for under represented scholars to attend ISNM 2005.The expected benefits of this grant include (1) the rapid sharing and dissemination of world-wide Nanomanufacturing science into the US academic/engineering community, (2) the continued recognition of US leadership in the field, and (3) the improvement of US human resources in the following ways: (1) The training of young researchers in nano-scale engineering via a design competition (2) The dissemination of knowledge via plenary speakers (3) The creation of tutorials for education of the Nanomanufacturing community (4) The recruitment of scholars from underrepresented groups.
