International Conference on Advanced Membrane Technology III

摘要提案编号：CTS-0620437机构：ECIP. I.：Donald R.保罗主题：国际先进膜技术会议III该提案寻求为美国演讲者、论文作者和年轻学术参与者提供旅费赠款，以参加将于2006年6月11日至15日在意大利Cetraro举行的国际先进膜技术会议（III）。基于膜的技术在过去十年中已经发展成为一项主要技术。最近的许多发展是在欧洲国家和日本取得的。这是工业竞争力和合作的重要领域。会议的目的是讨论重要膜技术的最新进展。膜领域的研究人员具有多样化的背景，主要是化学工程，化学，材料科学，生物医学和环境工程。下文解释了参与这一领域的广泛影响。至关重要的是，通过这次会议提供一个必要的论坛，将不同背景和不同国家的研究人员聚集在一起，传播和交流最新的科学信息。它将为美国参与者提供一个发展国际合作的绝佳机会。10 000美元的拟议预算将为来自美国的年轻调查员提供10笔部分旅费赠款，以便利他们作为发言人参加会议。旅费的发放将基于以下考虑因素：（1）演讲者/与会者的科学或技术成就;（2）是否有其他旅费来源;（3）与年龄和职位有关的专业资格;（4）机构和地域分配。所有奖项将完全符合1964年的民权法案。将遵循NSF关于美国航空公司的旅行政策。

ABSTRACTProposal #: CTS-0620437Institution: ECIP.I.: Donald R. PaulSubject: Internatinal Conference on Advanced Membrane Technology IIIThis proposal seeks funding for travel grants to U.S. speakers, authors of papers, and young academic participants to attend the International Conference on Advanced Membrane Technology (III), be held in Cetraro, Italy, on June 11-15 2006. Membrane-based technology has grown to be a major technology within the last decade. Many of the recent developments were made in European countries and Japan. It is an important area for industrial competitiveness as well as collaboration. The purpose of the Conference is to discuss the latest advancement of the important membrane technologies. The researchers in the membrane fields have diverse background, mainly in chemical engineering, chemistry, material science, biomedical and environmental engineering. The broader impacts of participation in the area are explained in the following. It is crucially important to provide a needed forum through this conference to bring researchers with different backgrounds and from different countries together for disseminating and exchanging the latest scientific information. It will provide an excellent opportunity for developing international collaboration for the U.S. participants. The proposed budget of $10,000 will provide for 10 partial travel grant awards to young investigators from the U.S. to facilitate their participation as speakers in the Conference. Travel awards will be made based on the following considerations: (1) scientific or technological merit of the speakers/participants; (2) availability of other sources of travel funding; (3) professionalqualifications relative to age and position; (4) institutional and geographical distribution. All awards will be made in full compliance with the Civil Rights Acts of 1964. NSF travel policies with respect to U.S. air carriers will be followed.
