0917127WickramasingheFunding is requested to increase the participation of U.S. students in the North American Membrane Society (NAMS) 2009 national meeting, to be held in Charleston, SC, 20-24 June 2009. The funding will be used to provide partial support of travel and related expenses to students attending the conference. The objective is to encourage student participation in the largest American meeting focused on this subject and, thereby, provide opportunities for them to present their work, meet other scientists and engineers from around the world with similar interests, and attend presentations and poster sessions to learn about the latest research in membrane science and engineering. Membrane processes are used widely in the chemical, petrochemical, food processing, food packaging, medical, energy and biotechnology industries. Funding from this grant would bring students to NAMS 2009 to gain knowledge about the latest research discoveries in membrane science and engineering from around the world. The proposed meeting sponsorship would increase the number of U.S. students who are able to attend NAMS 2009. In addition to 26 technical sessions and a poster session, an extensive student program are planned. Four workshops will provide students with intensive training in fundamental and developing areas of membrane science and engineering.The NSF funding will provide partial travel support for 10 students to attend this meeting, and will be available to students of all genders, ethnicity, and geographic region of the U.S. Applications received from students with disabilities will be encouraged. Student participation in NAMS 2009 will enhance the infrastructure for research by giving students access to leading scientists and engineers from around the world in the technical sessions and in the workshops. Students will have extensive opportunities to network with potential employers and with students and faculty from other research groups with similar interests. Society would benefit from this activity, as participation in NAMS 2009 will educate students who in turn will advance membranes and membrane processes as enabling technologies in a broad range of practical applications vital to the U.S. economy.

0917127Wickramasinghe 申请资金以增加美国学生参加北美膜协会 (NAMS) 2009 年全国会议的人数，该会议将于 2009 年 6 月 20 日至 24 日在南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿举行。该资金将用于提供部分旅行和相关支持参加会议的学生的费用。目的是鼓励学生参加专注于该主题的最大的美国会议，从而为他们提供展示其工作、结识来自世界各地具有相似兴趣的其他科学家和工程师以及参加演讲和海报会议以学习的机会关于膜科学与工程的最新研究。膜工艺广泛应用于化学、石化、食品加工、食品包装、医疗、能源和生物技术行业。这笔赠款的资金将带领学生参加 NAMS 2009，了解世界各地膜科学与工程的最新研究发现。拟议的会议赞助将增加能够参加 NAMS 2009 的美国学生数量。除了 26 场技术会议和海报会议外，还计划开展广泛的学生活动。四场研讨会将为学生提供膜科学与工程基础和发展领域的强化培训。NSF 资金将为参加本次会议的 10 名学生提供部分旅行支持，并将向所有性别、种族和地理区域的学生提供的美国残疾学生申请将受到鼓励。学生参加 NAMS 2009 将使学生有机会在技术会议和研讨会上接触来自世界各地的领先科学家和工程师，从而增强研究基础设施。学生将有广泛的机会与潜在雇主以及来自其他具有相似兴趣的研究小组的学生和教师建立联系。社会将从这项活动中受益，因为参加 NAMS 2009 将教育学生，而学生反过来将推进膜和膜工艺作为对美国经济至关重要的广泛实际应用中的使能技术。
