U.S. Travel Grants for the XXII Congress of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr)

化学部（CHE）颁发的这一奖项支持美国国家科学院（Ana M. Ferreras，首席研究员）资助15名年轻的美国晶体学家参加国际晶体学联合会第22届大会。来自世界各地的晶体学家将在这次大会上会面。像这样的会议为年轻科学家提供了建立网络、发展新的合作和分享各自领域最新研究成果的机会。美国国家科学院将通过后续调查评估该奖项的影响。年轻的科学家在发展他们独立的事业时需要指导。该奖项提供的机会将使15名年轻的晶体学家有机会与各自领域的国际领袖进行互动。晶体学是研究分子和材料结构的学科。它是化学中的一个重要分支学科，为科学家提供了影响化学和物理性质的分子键方面的线索。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports the National Academy of Sciences (Ana M. Ferreras, Principal Investigator) to sponsor 15 young American crystallographers to attend the XXII Congress of the International Union of Crystallography. Crystallographers from around the world will be meeting at this Congress. Conferences like this give young scientists the opportunities to network, develop new collaborations, and share the latest research results in their field. The NAS will evaluate the impact of the award through a follow-up survey.Young scientists need mentoring as they develop their independent careers. The opportunity provided through this award will allow 15 young crystallographers to interact with international leaders in their field. Crystallography is the study of the structure of molecules and materials. It is an important sub-discipline in chemistry, which provides scientists clues about aspects of molecular bonding that influence chemical and physical properties.
