Travel Support for The International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics

根据这项资助的条款（NSF-DMS-1004827）工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）将为大约100名数学和计算科学家，特别是早期职业教师和研究生提供旅行奖励计划，以参加国际工业与应用数学大会（ICIAM 2011），将于2011年7月18日至22日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的温哥华举行。ICIAM大会每四年举行一次，是展示数学和计算科学进展及其在科学和技术中的应用的主要全球论坛。旅行奖励对于早期职业研究人员和研究生尤其重要，否则他们可能难以筹集足够的资金。如果没有旅行支助，他们可能会利用这一较少的机会在国际范围内进行直接互动和建立联系。这种支持将帮助美国数学和计算科学家跟上世界各地正在开发的技术和科学应用的进步。奖励过程将承认多样性的重要性，鼓励妇女和少数民族申请，并优先考虑合格的申请人。旅行奖励将包括参与者的航空运输、住宿费用和注册费用（最高金额为1000美元）。它们将颁发给与美国机构有联系的个人，这些机构符合国家科学基金会的规则和程序。

Under the terms of this grant (NSF-DMS-1004827) the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) will administer a travel award program for approximately 100 mathematical and computational scientists, particularly early career faculty and graduate students to attend the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM 2011), to be held on July 18-22, 2011 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The ICIAM congresses are held every four years and are the primary worldwide forum for presentation of advances in the mathematical and computational sciences and their applications to science and technology. Travel awards are especially important for early career researchers and graduate students who may otherwise have difficulty in marshalling sufficient funds. Without travel support, they would be likely to take advantage of this less opportunity for direct interaction and networking on an international scale. This support will help U.S. mathematical and computational scientists keep pace with the advances in applications to technology and science being developed throughout the world. The award process will acknowledge of the importance of diversity, encourage women and minorities to apply, and give priority to qualified applicants. The travel awards will cover air transportation, lodging costs, and registration costs for participants (up to an amount of $1000). They will be awarded to individuals who are affiliated with U.S. institutions consistent with the rules and procedures of the National Science Foundation.
