Fellows On the Frontier 2015; September - 4, 2015; Evanston, IL

该奖项为参加在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿举行的第二届“天文学的未来”会议的青年演讲者提供支持。该会议继2011年举行的一次非常成功的会议之后，旨在汇集北美天文学领域顶尖博士后研究人员的很大一部分。研讨会的一个关键目标是创造一个场所，让来自全国各地从事不同项目和不同领域的领先博士后研究人员可以聚集在一起，分享他们对未来关键研究领域的兴奋和想法。对于与会者来说，这是一个重要的机会来谈论和调查天体物理学的前沿，研讨会无疑将导致许多新的合作形成。资金还将针对（但不限于）妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。

This award provides support for junior speakers to attend the second "Future of Astronomy" conference in Evanston, IL. The conference follows on from a highly successful meeting held in 2011, and is designed to bring together a significant fraction of the top postdoctoral researchers in astronomy in North America. A key goal of the workshop is to create a venue where leading postdoctoral researchers from across the country, working in much different programs and in different areas, can come together to share their excitement and ideas on future key research areas. This is a significant opportunity for the attendees to speak about, and survey, the frontier of astrophysics, and the workshop will undoubtedly lead to numerous new collaborations being formed. Funding will additionally be targeted toward, although not limited to, women and under-represented minorities.
