APS DFD Participant Travel Support - 67th Annual DFD Meeting 2014 in San Francisco, CA, November 23-25, 2014

该提案寻求资金，用于支付受邀演讲者和学生与会者的部分旅费，以及与2014年11月23-25日在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行的题为“美国物理学会流体动力学分会，第67届DFD年度会议”的会议相关的组织费用。这是世界上最大的流体动力学家国际年会，预计将有2500人参加。这次会议已经成功举办了65年以上。旅行补助计划的优先事项是部分资助学生、年轻科学家，以及来自代表性不足群体的科学家。APS DFD执行委员会计划捐赠20,000美元，美国物理研究所计划为旅行奖励的总体预算贡献10,000美元。预计这笔总额为55000美元，用于为大约65名参与者提供旅费补贴和注册费。这次会议的主要学术价值在于交流科学思想，展示尖端研究，并接触到几乎每一个流体动力学分支学科的丰富多样的主题。更广泛的影响将是增加学生和年轻科学家的参与，否则他们将负担不起参加会议的费用和相关费用。优先考虑的是：(I)在会上发言的人；(Ii)学生；(Iii)过去没有获得过此类奖项的人；以及(Iv)同一研究顾问不超过一名申请者。由于奖励是为了补充参与者的旅费，而不是完全覆盖这些经费，委员会考虑了申请书上输入的旅费预算。特别努力使工程界任职人数不足的群体，包括妇女和少数群体成员，实现多样化的参与。尽管世界各地的与会者都参加了这次会议，但NSF的支持将为来自美国的个人提供资金。

The proposal seeks funds to partially cover travel expenses of invited speakers and student participants and organizing expenses related to the conference entitled, "American Physical Society, Division of Fluid Dynamics, 67th Annual DFD Meeting 2014" in San Francisco, CA, November 23-25, 2014. This is the largest international annual meeting of fluid dynamicists in the world, with 2,500 anticipated attendees. The meeting has been successfully run for over sixty five years.The priorities of the travel grant program are to partially fund students, young scientists, and, in general, scientists from under-represented groups. The APS DFD Executive Committee plans to contribute $20,000 and the American Institute for Physics plans to contribute $10,000 to the overall budget for travel awards. This total amount expected is $55,000 to facilitate travel subsidies and registration fee coverage for about 65 participants. The chief intellectual merit of this conference lies in the exchange of scientific ideas, presentations of cutting edge research, and exposure to a richly diverse array of topics in virtually every sub-discipline of fluid dynamics. The broader impact will be to increase participation of students and young scientists who would not otherwise be able to afford to travel to the meeting and pay associated costs. Preference is given: (i) to those presenting talks at the meeting, (ii) to students, (iii) to those who have not received such an award in the past, and (iv) to no more than one applicant from a given research adviser. Since the awards are meant to supplement participant travel funds, not to cover these entirely, the committee takes into account the travel budget entered on the application. Special effort is made to achieve diverse participation from underrepresented groups in engineering, including women and members of minority groups. Even though the conference is attended by worldwide attendees, the NSF support will fund individuals from the US.
