Travel Support for US Researchers Attending the 14th Marcel Grossmann Meeting in Rome - July 12-18, 2015.

该奖项旨在促进美国引力物理科学家参加第14届马塞尔·格罗斯曼会议，该会议将于2015年7月12日至18日在罗马举行，讨论理论和实验广义相对论、天体物理学和相对论场论的最新发展。马塞尔·格罗斯曼会议是引力领域的两个主要国际会议之一。它每三年举办一次，来自世界各地的大约500-1000名参与者参加。该奖项为来自美国的最值得的参与者提供旅行支持。该奖项将被分享，优先考虑口头报告和初级参与者的摘要被接受的参与者。将召集一个由引力物理学理论家和实验学家组成的小组，以评估来自美国的合格候选人的旅行支持申请。优先考虑接受谈话摘要的参与者和没有或减少NSF资金的研究人员。评审团将视乎收到的申请数目及质素而决定奖项数目。

This award facilitates the participation of US scientists working in gravitational physics in the 14th Marcel Grossmann meeting on recent developments in theoretical and experimental general relativity, astrophysics and relativistic field theories, to be held in Rome from July 12-18, 2015. The Marcel Grossmann meeting is one of the two main international conferences in gravitation. It is organized every three years and is attended by approximately 500-1000 participants from all over the world. This award provides travel support to the most deserving participants from the US. The award will be shared, giving priority to participants with accepted abstracts for oral presentations and junior participants.A panel comprised of theoreticians and experimentalists in gravitational physics will be convened to evaluate applications for travel support from qualified candidates from the US. Priority will be given to participants with accepted talk abstracts and to researchers with either no or reduced NSF funding. The panel will decide on the number of awards depending on the quality and quantity of applications received.
