Student Support: 2023 Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials Conference and Additive Manufacturing with Powder Metallurgy Conference; Las Vegas, Nevada; 18-21 June 2023

粉末冶金是一个在美国经济的制造业中几乎每个领域都有应用的话题，因此，它直接影响经济福利和国家安全。该奖项支持学生参加2023年6月18日至21日在内华达州拉斯维加斯举行的粉末冶金和颗粒材料国际会议(PowderMet2023)和粉末冶金添加剂制造与共址会议(AMPM2023)。这项支持为新一代学生研究人员提供了参加先进制造会议、介绍他们的工作、向该领域的领先专家学习以及与其他机构的学生互动的机会，培养了一种全球范围内的科学探究意识。被资助的学生将展示他们的海报，并参加会议海报奖竞赛等活动。与与会者的关系将帮助学生确定他们在这一广泛领域的具体兴趣领域，并为未来的互动和潜在的合作建立同事。这不仅会刺激学生的学习和培训，还会让他们接触到粉末冶金和添加剂制造方面的新研究概念。学生参加PowderMet2023和AMPM2023的目的是(1)扩大职业生涯的学习机会，获得更广泛的粉末冶金和金属添加剂制造知识；(2)促进技术转让，并提供一个介绍新研发活动的论坛；(3)促进先进制造业和新兴技术组织之间的合作伙伴关系，以促进劳动力发展；以及(4)基于全国各地的新兴技术，培养一支与区域经济相适应的劳动力队伍。会议组织者将支持多达40名在美国院校学习的成功学生申请者。重点将放在那些机构资源不足而无法派他们参加会议的学生身上，以及在会议上展示他们的研究成果的学生。主办方将通过大会公告等方式邀请报名。这些奖项将为注册和住宿提供支持。这一支持的提供将鼓励在粉末冶金研究中代表性不足的群体成员以及无法负担这些高度专业化的先进制造会议的研究生和本科生参加。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。

Powder metallurgy is a topic with applications in literally every portion of the manufacturing sector in the US economy, and therefore, directly impacts economic welfare and national security. This award supports student participations for the International Conference on Powder Metallurgy and Particulate Materials (PowderMet2023) and co-located Additive Manufacturing with Powder Metallurgy (AMPM2023) conference, to be held 18-21 June 2023, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The support provides a new generation of student researchers with an opportunity to attend the advanced manufacturing conferences, present their work, learn from leading experts in the field, and interact with students from other institutions, fostering a sense of worldwide community of scientific enquiry. The supported students will present their posters and participate in the conference poster award competition, among other activities. The relationships with conference participants will help the students in determining their specific areas of interest in this broad field and create colleagues for future interactions and potential collaboration. This will not only stimulate learning and training for the students, but also allow them to be exposed to new research concepts in powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing. The objectives of the student participation in PowderMet2023 and AMPM2023 are to (1) expand career-enhancing learning opportunities for a broader knowledge of powder metallurgy and metal additive manufacturing, (2) promote technology transfer and provide a forum to introduce new research and development activities, (3) promote collaborative partnerships between organizations in advanced manufacturing and in emerging technologies to increase workforce development, and (4) develop a workforce aligned with regional economies based on emerging technologies across the Nation. The conference organizers will support up to 40 successful student applicants, who study at U.S. institutions. An emphasis will be placed on students whose institutions are under-resourced and would otherwise not be able to send them to the conference, and students presenting their research results at the conference. The organizers will invite applications through conference announcements and other means. The awards will provide support toward registration and accommodation. The availability of this support will encourage the participation of members of groups underrepresented in powder metallurgy research, and graduate and undergraduate students who are otherwise unable to afford attending these highly specialized advanced manufacturing conferences.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.
