这笔赠款为2009年6月22日至25日在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行的2009年CMMI受赠者和研究会议提供了资金。会议的目标是为土木工程、机械和制造业创新受赠人司提供一个论坛，展示他们的研究成果，并与远东和环太平洋地区的研究人员建立网络，以促进在研究和教育方面更紧密的国际合作。会议将包括主题演讲、全体会议、研讨会、海报会议、分组会议、社会活动和非正式互动，这将导致新的合作伙伴关系和产生跨学科的研究想法。会议主题吸引了人们对全球科学技术研究前沿不断变化的格局的关注。它将使来自环太平洋地区的研究人员和教育工作者能够讨论他们的活动并形成合作，并可能导致土木工程、机械和制造创新司支持的各个领域的研究步伐加快。

This grant provides funding to organize the 2009 CMMI Grantees and Research Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii, on June 22nd -25th, 2009. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation grantees to showcase their research outcomes and network with researchers from the Far East and Pacific-Rim regions to foster closer international cooperation in research and education. The conference will consist of keynote presentations, plenary sessions, workshops, poster sessions, breakout sessions, social activities and informal interactions, which will result in seeding new partnerships and generating cross-disciplinary research ideas.The conference theme draws attention to the ever-changing landscape at the frontier of science and technology research across the globe. It will enable researchers and educators from across the Pacific Rim to discuss their activities and form collaborations, and will likely result in an advanced pace of research across the fields supported by the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation.
