Experimental NMR Conference

描述(申请人提供)：实验核磁共振会议(ENC)是主要的年度科学会议，致力于核磁共振波谱的技术方面和应用，包括溶液-固态和成像方法及其在物理、化学、材料科学和生物学中的应用。第46届ENC将于2005年4月10日至2005年4月15日在里约热内卢的普罗维登斯举行。来自美国和其他国家的约1400名科学家将出席会议，其中包括研究生、博士后研究员和高级科学家。与会者中约有250人是研究生。会议由全体会议和海报会议组成。全体会议包括特邀演讲者和宣传海报演讲。会议期间安排了大约45次受邀的全体会谈和20次宣传海报会谈。会议期间展示了大约600张海报。会议的重点是核磁共振波谱的新技术发展和应用。ENC是美国唯一一个展示该领域方方面面的大型会议，包括溶液-状态、固态和成像方法。 多年来，ENC一直资助一项学生旅行津贴计划，使研究生能够参加ENC。从历史上看，资金来自两个来源：一定比例的会议注册费和来自公司的捐款。参加ENC是对核磁共振光谱学研究生教育的重要补充：ENC为研究生提供了接触该领域及其从业者的无与伦比的机会，并使学生能够向尽可能广泛的受众展示他们自己的工作。目前，只有约65名学生(包括美国和国际学生)可以获得旅费津贴，占研究生入学人数的25%。请求国家卫生研究院提供支持，以使国家卫生委员会能够将学生旅费津贴计划扩大约10至15名学生。这将允许更多值得参加会议的学生参加。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Experimental NMR Conference (ENC) is the premier annual scientific meeting devoted to technical aspects and applications of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, including solution-state, solid-state, and imaging methods and applications in physics, chemistry, materials science, and biology. The 46th ENC will be held April 10, 2005 through April 15, 2005 in Providence, RI. Attendance at the meeting will be approximately 1,400 scientists, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and senior scientists, from the U.S. and other countries. Approximately 250 of the attendees are graduate students. The meeting is comprised of plenary and poster sessions. Plenary sessions include invited speakers and promoted poster talks. Approximately 45 invited plenary talks and 20 promoted poster talks are scheduled during the meeting. Approximately 600 posters are presented during the meeting. The focus of the meeting is new technical developments and applications of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The ENC is the only major conference in the U.S. in which all aspects of the field, including solution-state, solid-state, and imaging methods, are presented. For many years the ENC has funded a student travel stipend program to enable graduate students to attend the ENC. Historically, funds have been obtained from two sources: a percentage of conference registration fees and contributions from companies. Attending the ENC is an important supplement to graduate education in NMR spectroscopy: the ENC provides a graduate student with unparalleled exposure to the full range of the field and its practitioners and enables students to present their own work to the widest possible audience. At present, only some 65 students (both U.S. and international), representing 25% of the graduate student attendees, can be provided with travel stipends. Support is requested from the National Institutes of Health to enable the ENC to expand the student travel stipend program by approximately 10 to 15 students. This would permit an increased number of deserving students to attend the conference.
