Symposium Support for the 259th American Chemical Society National Meeting, March 22-26, 2020, Philadelphia, PA

该奖项旨在资助研究生，博士后研究人员以及初级和/或女教师参加在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行的2020年美国化学学会（ACS）全国会议和博览会上的声学活性胶体成像和治疗研讨会的会议费用。研讨会的组织者是Eugenia Kharlampieva（阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校），Andrew Goodwin（科罗拉多大学博尔德分校）和Jesse Jokerst（加州大学圣地亚哥分校）。研讨会将向所有感兴趣的科学家/工程师开放，这些科学家/工程师积极致力于与生物医学应用声学活性粒子相关的主题。美国国家科学基金会的资金特别要求部分抵消年轻研究人员，包括初级教师，研究生或博士后研究员参加会议并展示他们的研究成果的费用。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award seeks funding to support conference expenses for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, as well as junior and/or female faculty to participate in the symposium on Acoustically-Active Colloids for Imaging and Therapy at the 2020 National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Philadelphia, PA. The symposium organizers are Eugenia Kharlampieva (University of Alabama at Birmingham), Andrew Goodwin (University of Colorado Boulder), and Jesse Jokerst (University of California, San Diego). The symposium will be open to all interested scientists/engineers actively working on topics related to acoustically-active particles for biomedical applications. NSF funding is requested specifically to partially offset the costs for young researchers including junior faculty, graduate students or postdoctoral fellows to attend the conference and present the results of their research efforts.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.
