机构：密歇根大学提案编号：1327317题目：第七届美国-中国化学工程会议，北京，中国，2013年10月14-18日这笔赠款将为参加？第七届美国-中国化学工程会议的美国演讲者、论文作者，特别是年轻的学术参与者提供个人旅行补助金奖励？中国将于2013年10月14日至18日在北京举行。这笔3万美元将用于向美国演讲者、论文作者，特别是参加会议的年轻学术参与者提供大约30笔部分旅费赠款。旅行奖励将基于以下考虑：(1)演讲者/参与者的科学或技术优点；(2)相对于年龄和职位的专业资格；(3)机构和地理分布。所有奖项将完全符合1964年《民权法案》的规定。NSF将遵循与美国航空公司有关的旅行政策。智力优势：会议的主题是：“化学工程的机遇和挑战：化学工程的前沿和化学工业的未来发展。”本次会议由中国工程院、中国科学院、中国化学工业与工程学会、美国化学工程师学会联合主办。会议的目的是为美国化学工程师提供一个论坛，让他们与中国同行会面，讨论最新进展，交流研究想法，讨论合作机会。广泛影响：新能源和可再生能源、清洁燃料、可持续发展和环境等全球问题将是讨论的焦点。这些都应该有利于美国的参与者，并导致新的研究想法和合作的发展。直接的面对面交流将有助于中国以及美国化工产品在亚洲潜在巨大市场的开发和扩大。

ABSTRACTPI: Yang, Ralph T.Institution: University of MichiganProposal Number: 1327317Title: The 7th USA - China Chemical Engineering Conference, Beijing, China, October 14 - 18, 2013This grant will provide funds for individual travel grant awards to U.S. speakers, authors of papers, and particularly young academic participants to ?The 7th USA-China Chemical Engineering Conference,? to be held in Beijing, China, on October 14-18, 2013. The $30,000 will provide for approximately 30 partial travel grant awards to U.S. speakers, authors of papers, particularly young academic participants at the Conference. Travel awards will be made based on the following considerations: (1) scientific or technological merit of the speaker/participant; (2) professional qualifications relative to age and position; (3) 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.Intellectual Merit : The theme of the conference is: "Opportunities and Challenges of Chemical Engineering: Frontiers of Chemical Engineering and Future Development of the Chemical Industry." The Conference is co-sponsored by Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chinese Academy of Science, the Chemical Industry & Engineering Society of China (CIESC), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). The purpose of the Conference is to provide a forum for U.S. Chemical Engineers to meet their counterpart in China to discuss the latest advances, exchange research ideas and discuss opportunities for collaboration.Broader Impacts : Global issues such as new and renewable energy sources, clean fuels, sustainability and the environment will be among the focal points of discussion. These should be beneficial to the U.S. participants and lead to the development of new research ideas and collaborations. The direct face to face communication will facilitate development and expansion of the potentially vast markets in China as well as Asia for U.S. chemical products.
