The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) Annual Meeting: National Science Foundation Grant Proposal Writing Workshop; Nashville, Tennessee; 14-18 February 2016

该奖项将为参加在田纳西州纳什维尔举行的矿物、金属和材料学会（TMS） 2016年年会的NSF拨款提案写作研讨会的参与者提供旅行资金。研讨会将于2016年2月14日年会的第一天举行。现任和前任NSF项目官员将提供提案审查过程的概述。该奖项将支持大约10名研讨会参与者的研讨会注册和旅行。本次研讨会的登记和旅费支助将优先考虑来自代表性不足群体的研究人员以及早期职业研究人员，以帮助鼓励这些群体更多地参与矿物、金属和材料领域。最终，研讨会的目标是通过进一步提高pi在提案开发和提交过程中的准备，帮助培养未来几代材料科学家和工程师。

This award will provide travel funds for participants in the NSF Grant Proposal Writing Workshop at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) in Nashville, Tennessee. The workshop will be held the first day of the Annual Meeting, 14 February 2016. Current and former NSF Program Officers will provide an overview of the proposal review process.The award will support workshop registration and travel for approximately 10 participants in the workshop. The registration and travel support for this workshop will be prioritized for researchers from underrepresented groups as well as early career researchers to help encourage greater participation by these groups in the minerals, metals and materials fields. Ultimately, the goal of the workshop is to help foster future generations of materials scientists and engineers by further increasing PIs' preparedness in the proposal development and submission process.
