This award supports the participation of US scientists at 18th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (GR18) and the 7th Eduardo Amaldi (Amaldi7) meeting on Gravitational Waves to be held jointly in Sydney, Australia, July 8-14, 2007. The "GR" meetings have been held regularly every three years since the late 1950's and now involve approximately 500-1000 researchers worldwide. The Amaldi meetings have been held every 2 years since 1999 and represent the most important international venue for the developing field of gravitational wave science. The purpose of this award is to allow a strong US presence at the joint meeting and to allow US researchers to keep current with the latest developments in their fields. The funds will be distributed by a committee of leading US researchers and will consist of partial travel support, leverage to an efficient leveraging of NSF resources with other sources of funding that researchers might have. Women and underrepresented minorities will be encouraged to apply. The broad impact of this proposal will be in the preparation of human resources. Special preference will be given to applications from young researchers. Attendance at major international conferences is a formative event in the preparation of the new generation of US researchers in the field.

该奖项支持美国科学家参加第18届一般相对性和引力国际会议（GR18）和第七届Eduardo Amaldi（Amaldi7）会议，将在2007年7月8日至14日在澳大利亚悉尼共同举行重力浪潮。自1950年代后期每三年举行每三年的一次，每三年都在1950年代后期举行了大约500-1000二年前的研究。 自1999年以来，Amaldi会议每两年举行一次，代表着引力波科学发展领域最重要的国际场所。 该奖项的目的是允许美国在联席会议上有强大的业务，并允许我们的研究人员保持最新的发展。 资金将由美国领先的研究人员委员会分配，并由部分旅行支持，利用有效利用NSF资源，并通过研究人员可能拥有的其他资金来源。 鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族申请。 该提案的广泛影响将是准备人力资源。 年轻研究人员的申请将特别偏爱。 参加大型国际会议是一项形成性活动，以准备新一代的美国研究人员。
