13th International Congress on Combustion By-Products and Their Health Effects - Student Travel Stipends

环境化学科学项目为8-10名美国大学研究生提供旅行奖励，以参加2013年5月在洛杉矶新奥尔良万豪会议中心举行的第13届国际燃烧副产品及其健康影响大会。这次会议汇集了学术界、政府和工业代表，共同介绍研究成果，更新国际政策，并讨论有关燃烧过程中有毒副产物排放的关键问题。自1990年以来，国际大会每两年举行一次，大会通常吸引来自世界各地的100至200名代表。会议常务委员会将根据需要和提交的摘要质量选择学生。每个学生的资金将用于支付参加会议的旅费。旅游现金奖励的发放情况将在会议网站和论文征集上公布。这是一项有价值的努力，得到了环境化学科学项目的全力支持。环境研究正变得越来越跨学科，这次会议特别旨在汇集科学家、工程师和健康影响研究人员，讨论围绕燃烧的环境问题。下一代研究人员必须熟悉这些跨学科问题才能取得成功。通过鼓励学生参与并提供大量旅行和注册支持，下一代研究人员正在得到培训。

The Environmental Chemical Sciences Program supports a travel award for 8-10 graduate students at US universities to participate in the 13th International Congress on Combustion By-Products and their Health Effects to be held at the Marriott at the Convention Center in New Orleans, LA in May 2013. This meeting brings academic, government, and industrial representatives together to present research findings, update international policy, and discuss critical issues concerning emissions of toxic by-products from the combustion processes. The International Congress has met every two years since 1990, the Congress usually attracts between 100 and 200 delegates from all over the world. The students will be selected by the Standing Organizing Committee for the conference based on need and the quality of abstracts submitted for presentation. Funds for each student will help defray travel costs for attending the conference. The availability of the travel cash awards will be advertised on the conference website and the call for papers.This is a worthwhile endeavor that is fully supported by the Environmental Chemical Sciences Program. Environmental research is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary and this meeting is especially designed to bring together scientists, engineers, and health effects researchers to discuss the environmental issues surrounding combustion. The next generation of researchers must be familiar with these interdisciplinary issues to be successful. By encouraging the participation of students with significant travel and registration support, the next generation of researchers are being trained.
