Travel Support for the 256th National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society Symposium "Block Polymer Synthesis and Self-Assembly", Boston, MA (August 19-23, 2018)

技术和非技术摘要需要5000美元的资金，用于支持2018年8月18日至22日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的2018年全国ACS会议上举行的关于“嵌段聚合物合成和自组装”的研讨会，该研讨会是ACS Poly部门的一部分。这笔资金将用于支付博士后、初级教师和其他处于博士后独立研究早期阶段的科学家的会议注册费。研讨会将涵盖嵌段聚合物合成、自组装、表征和形态方面的最新发展。将重点介绍外地初级工作者及其相关的新方向，目的是鼓励未来的STEM发展和外地的人力。研讨会包括特邀演讲者和来稿演讲者。在名单上列出的16名特邀演讲者中，有两名是博士后，七名是助理教授，两名来自工业界。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为是值得支持的。

TECHNICAL AND NONTECHNICAL ABSTRACTFunds in the amount of $5000 are requested for support of US based participants in the symposium on "Block Polymer Synthesis and Self-Assembly", to be held as part of the ACS POLY Division at the 2018 National ACS meeting in Boston MA, August 18-22, 2018. The funds will be used to pay the meeting registration fees for postdoc, junior faculty, and other scientists in the early stages of post PhD independent research. The symposium will cover a broad array of topics in newest developments in block polymer synthesis, self-assembly , characterization and morphology. Emphasis will be given to presentations by junior workers in the field and their associated new directions with the goal of encouraging future STEM development and people-power in the field. The symposium includes both invited and contributed speakers. Of the sixteen invited speakers listed, two are postdocs, seven are assistant professors and two are from industry. Contributed papers include a majority from junior researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
