Symposium on "Polymer Processing: Nanomanufacturing and Nanofabrication" at Spring American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; March 22-26, 2020

该奖项为学生、博士后和年轻教师提供旅行支持，以参加2020年3月22日至26日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行的春季美国化学学会（ACS）全国会议上的“聚合物加工：纳米制造和纳米制造”研讨会。研讨会的重点是聚合物加工、纳米加工和纳米制造领域的新研究。学生们通过口头和海报的形式向聚合物加工、先进制造和更广泛的工程界展示他们最新的研究成果。优先考虑女性学生或来自代表性不足的少数群体的学生。这种方法在短期内促进了会议的多元化参与，在长期内促进了STEM领域的多元化参与。该奖项通过培养熟练和多样化的制造业劳动力以及更好地为所选领域的挑战提供变革性解决方案的劳动力，使国家受益。这种参与支持有望有利于学生的专业、科学和技术发展。通过参加由国内外知名演讲者主持的技术和专业发展讲座，学生们对聚合物加工、先进制造和工程专业以及各自领域的最新研究有了更广泛的了解。学生通过口头和海报展示，与同行深入讨论他们的工作，提高他们的沟通技巧。这种互动体验极大地拓宽了学生的教育，增加了他们对研究课题的热情，使他们熟悉对科学事业的期望，并使他们接触到创新研究的新方法。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 provides travel support for students, post-docs and young faculty to attend and participate in the Symposium on "Polymer Processing: Nanomanufacturing and Nanofabrication" at the Spring American Chemical Society (ACS) national meeting in Philadelphia, PA, in March 22-26, 2020. The symposium focuses on new research in the field of polymer processing, nanofabrication and nanomanufacturing. The students present through oral and poster sessions their latest research results to the polymer processing, advanced manufacturing and broader engineering communities. Priority is given to student participants who are women or who come from underrepresented minority groups. This approach promotes diverse participation at the conference, in the short term, and in STEM fields, in the long term. This award benefits the nation through the education of a skilled and diverse manufacturing workforce and a workforce better prepared to provide transformative solutions the challenges in their chosen fields.This participation support is expected to benefit the students' professional, scientific and technical development. Attendance at the conference gives the students a broader view of the polymer processing, advanced manufacturing and engineering profession and of state-of-the-art research in their fields via access to several technical and professional development talks by leading domestic and international speakers. Students enhance their communication skills through oral and poster presentations, in-depth discussions of their work with peers in their fields. This interactive experience significantly broadens student education, increases their enthusiasm for their research topic, acquaints them with expectations for scientific careers, and exposes them to new approaches for innovative research.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.
