Travel Support for Students to Attend Advanced Materials for Additive Manufacturing Symposium at the Fall MRS Meeting; Boston, Massachusetts; November 29 to December 4, 2020

该奖项为学生、博士后和年轻教师提供差旅支持，让他们参加2020年11月29日至12月4日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的材料研究学会(MRS)秋季会议上举行的“用于添加剂制造的先进材料”研讨会。研讨会的重点是材料和制造领域的新研究。学生和年轻的教职员工通过口头和海报展示了他们在先进材料发现和通过添加制造在3D对象中成形方面的最新研究成果。优先考虑来自代表人数不足的少数群体的女性学生参与者。这一方法在短期内促进了会议的多样化参与，在长期内促进了STEM领域的多样化参与。这一奖项通过教育技术和多样化的先进材料和制造劳动力使国家受益，他们更好地准备好为他们选择的领域的挑战提供变革性的解决方案。这种参与支持预计将有利于学生和年轻教师的专业、科学和技术发展。出席会议的学生通过参加由国内和国际知名演讲者进行的几次技术和专业发展讲座，使学生对先进材料、先进制造和工程专业以及这些领域的最先进研究有了更广泛的看法。学生通过口头和海报演示，与各自领域的同行深入讨论他们的工作，提高他们的沟通技能。这种互动体验极大地拓宽了学生教育，提高了他们对研究主题的热情，让他们熟悉了对科学职业的期望，并使他们接触到创新研究的新方法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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 "Advanced Materials for Additive Manufacturing" at the Fall Meeting of the Materials Research Society (MRS) to take place in Boston, Massachusetts, from November 29 – December 4, 2020. The symposium focuses on new research in the fields of materials and manufacturing. The students and young faculty present through oral and poster sessions their latest research results in advanced materials discovery and their shaping in 3D objects via additive manufacturing. Priority is given to student participants who are women and 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 advanced materials and manufacturing workforce, which is better prepared to provide transformative solutions to challenges in their chosen fields.This participation support is expected to benefit the students' and young faculty’s professional, scientific and technical development. Attendance at the conference gives the students a broader view of the advanced materials, advanced manufacturing and engineering professions and of state-of-the-art research in these 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 topics, 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.
