Kokes Awards for the 24th North American Catalysis Society Meeting

该提案寻求资金，以支持研究生和本科生参加将于2015年6月16日至20日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行的北美催化学会（NACS）第24次会议。 具体而言，这笔资金将为来自美国大学的30名学生提供注册费和旅行相关费用的援助，这些费用通过NACS赞助的Kokes旅行奖计划管理。 学生们将在会议上展示他们的研究成果，参加催化领域领导人的讲座，并为组织者提供会议的协助。两年一度的NACS会议是北美最大的催化会议。 学生的参与有助于培养年轻的研究人员在科学和工程的这一重要方面，支持在环境污染控制，能源利用，可持续性和温室气体减少，以及美国的竞争力的进步。

The proposal seeks funding to support graduate and undergraduate participation in the 24th meeting of the North American Catalysis Society (NACS) to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania June 16-20, 2015. Specifically, the funds will provide assistance to 30 students from U.S. universities for registration fees and travel related expenses as administered through the Kokes Travel Award program sponsored by the NACS. The students will present their research at the conference, attend lectures by leaders in the field of catalysis, and provide assistance to the organizers in running the meeting.The biennial NACS meetings are the largest North American meetings dedicated to catalysis. Student participation helps train young researchers in this vital aspect of science and enginering that supports advances in environmental pollution control, energy utilization, sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction, and competitiveness of the U.S. chemical and petroleum industries.
