Travel Support for Students to Participate at the Additive Manufacturing with Powder Metallurgy Conference (AMPM2024); Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; 16-19 June 2024

粉末冶金几乎应用于制造业经济的每一个部门，直接影响到经济福利和国家安全。该奖项支持学生参加粉末冶金和颗粒材料国际会议（PowderMet2024）以及将于2024年6月16日至19日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行的粉末冶金增材制造（AMPM2024）会议。这项支持为优秀的学生研究人员提供了参加先进制造会议的机会，展示他们的工作，向该领域的顶尖专家学习，并与来自其他机构的学生互动，培养了一种全球科学探究社区的感觉。获得资助的学生将展示研究海报，并参加会议海报奖比赛等活动。与会议参与者的关系将帮助学生确定他们在这一广泛领域中感兴趣的特定领域，并为未来的互动和潜在的合作创造同事。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增材制造领域的新研究概念。学生参与PowderMet2024和AMPM2024的目标是(1)扩大粉末冶金和金属增材制造的更广泛知识的职业学习机会，(2)促进技术转让并提供一个论坛来介绍新的研究和开发活动，(3)促进先进制造和新兴技术组织之间的合作伙伴关系，以增加劳动力发展。(4)在全国范围内以新兴技术为基础，培养与区域经济相适应的劳动力。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。重点将放在那些学校资源不足，否则无法派他们参加会议的学生，以及在会议上展示研究成果的学生。主办方将通过会议公告等方式邀请报名。该奖项将为注册和住宿提供支持。这种支持的可用性将鼓励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的参与。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。

Powder metallurgy is applied in practically every sector of the manufacturing economy, directly impacting economic welfare and national security. This award supports student participation in the International Conference on Powder Metallurgy and Particulate Materials (PowderMet2024) and the co-located Additive Manufacturing with Powder Metallurgy (AMPM2024) conference, to be held 16-19 June 2024, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The support provides an opportunity for outstanding student researchers 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 inquiry. The supported students will present research 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 PowderMet2024 and AMPM2024 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 US 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.
