TECHNICAL: This project will support underrepresented invited speakers and graduate students to attend the Frontiers of Electron Microscopy in Materials Science (FEMMS) 2007 conference to be held in Sonoma, CA from September 23-28, 2007. FEMMS is a biennial meeting focused on the most recent developments in the use of electron microscopy (primarily TEM) for materials science. This meeting is particularly timely given the recent expansion in the use of monochromators and aberration correctors and the increasing interest in the use of in-situ methods. The conference is typically attended by ~100 participants. This year the conference will have 54 invited speakers discussing topics that include high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, ultra-fast and in-situ microscopy, 3-D imaging techniques and microscopy at the interface between material science and biology. The conference also features a distinguished lecturer, Professor L. M. Brown, who has been selected for his long standing and exceptional contributions to electron microscopy. The conference has always published a proceedings as a special issue of one of the major microscopy journals (Ultramicroscopy, Journal of Microscopy, Microscopy and Microanalysis) and the intention is to publish this year's proceedings in Ultramicroscopy. Further details about the location, organization and history of the FEMMS conference can be found at the conference website: http://femms2007.llnl.gov/. NON-TECHNICAL: Although electron microscopy is ubiquitous in materials science departments in the US, the rapid development in instrumentation that has occurred over the last 2-5 years means that not all researchers have access to the latest capabilities. One of the main aims of this award is to provide the funds for under represented graduate students (women and minorities) to become educated in these latest capabilities and establish collaborations with the leaders in the field. As such, the intention is for the graduate students who attend the meeting to act as ambassadors for electron microscopy when they return to their universities, ensuring the widest possible impact for the conference. This aspect of the program will be coordinated through a large interdisciplinary program at UC Davis: Nano-materials in the Environment, Agriculture, and Technology (NEAT), which provides a focus for undergraduate and graduate education and outreach programs in all aspects of the nano-sciences. In addition to supporting graduate students, this funding also supports the registration fees for two women faculty. These faculty members are recognized leaders in the field and will act as role models for the graduate students who attend the conference.

技术：该项目将支持代表性不足的邀请演讲者和研究生参加2007年9月23日至28日在加利福尼亚州索诺玛举行的材料科学电子显微镜（FEMMS）2007会议。电子显微镜（主要是TEM）用于材料科学的最新发展。鉴于最近使用单色和畸变校正器以及对使用原位方法的使用越来越兴趣，这次会议尤其及时。大约100名参与者通常会参加会议。今年，该会议将有54位受邀演讲者讨论主题，包括高分辨率成像和光谱，超快速和原位显微镜，3D成像技术以及材料科学与生物学之间界面上的显微镜。该会议还设有一位杰出的讲师L. M. Brown教授，他因其长期持久而出色的电子显微镜贡献而被选中。该会议始终发表了诉讼，作为主要显微镜期刊之一的特刊（超显微镜，显微镜杂志，显微镜和微分析），其目的是在超级镜检查中发布今年的诉讼。有关FEMMS会议的位置，组织和历史的更多详细信息可以在会议网站上找到：http：//femms2007.llnl.gov/。非技术性：尽管电子显微镜在美国的材料科学部门无处不在，但在过去2 - 5年中发生的仪器的快速发展意味着并非所有研究人员都可以使用最新的功能。该奖项的主要目的之一是为代表的研究生（妇女和少数民族）提供资金，以在这些最新能力中受过教育，并与该领域的领导人建立合作。因此，目的是针对参加会议的研究生在回到大学时充当电子显微镜的大使，以确保对会议的最大影响。该计划的这一方面将通过加州大学戴维斯分校的大型跨学科计划进行协调：环境，农业和技术（整洁）的纳米材料，该计划在纳米各个方面的本科和研究生教育和外展计划提供了重点 - 学士。除了支持研究生外，这项资金还支持两名女教师的注册费。这些教职员工是该领域的公认领导者，并将充当参加会议的研究生的榜样。
