0832867Scott Intellectual Merit The biennial North American Catalysis Society (NACS) Meeting is considered the premiere conference in the area of catalysis, surface science and reaction engineering. The 21st National meeting will be held from June 7 - 12, 2009, in San Francisco, CA. The objective of the Meeting is to bring together leading researchers for intensive scientific exchange and interactions. Young investigators represent the next generation of scientists and engineers, and their contributions are expected to lead to scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations that benefit the US economy. For example, advances in catalysis can come in the form of more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly chemical processes, improved fuel cell performance, efficient hydrogen production, and a cleaner environment. Financial support that offsets some of the associated costs of participation (specifically, travel and shared hotel accommodation) will encourage graduate students to attend and participate meaningfully in this conference. The funds sought in this proposal will support the Richard J. Kokes Travel Award program. Graduate students eligible for these merit-based Awards are those studying full-time at a North American university and who will present a paper at the Meeting. NSF funds will be used exclusively to support the participation of US graduate students. Broader Impacts The NACS has traditionally sought to encourage graduate student participation at its National Meetings, and has found that providing financial support is the most effective means to do so. Attendance by graduate students contributes significantly to their scientific training and communication and presentation skills. The students will be exposed to the leading researchers from the US and abroad; they will meet peers from other universities; they will learn about cutting-edge results that could benefit their research projects; and they will become active participants in the catalysis community.

0832867Scott知识群体值得北美催化学会（NACS）会议被认为是催化，表面科学和反应工程领域的首映会议。第21届全国会议将于2009年6月7日至12日在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行。会议的目的是将领先的研究人员聚集在一起进行密集的科学交流和互动。年轻的研究人员代表下一代的科学家和工程师，他们的贡献有望导致科学的突破和技术创新，从而使美国经济受益。例如，催化的进步可以以更节能且环保的化学过程，改善燃料电池性能，有效的氢产生和更清洁的环境的形式出现。财政支持抵消了一些相关的参与费用（特别是旅行和共享酒店住宿）将鼓励研究生参加并有意义地参加本次会议。该提案中寻求的资金将支持Richard J. Kokes旅行奖计划。有资格获得这些基于绩效的奖项的研究生是那些在北美大学全日制学习的人，他们将在会议上发表论文。 NSF资金将专门用于支持美国研究生的参与。传统上，NACS试图鼓励研究生参加全国会议，并发现提供财务支持是最有效的手段。研究生的出勤对他们的科学培训，沟通和演示技巧做出了重大贡献。学生将接触到美国和国外的主要研究人员；他们将遇到其他大学的同龄人；他们将了解可能受益于研究项目的前沿结果；他们将成为催化社区的积极参与者。
