The objective of this project is to support increased participation of US graduate students, postdoctoral associates and junior tenure-track faculty members at the 9th International Workshop on Micro and Nanotechnology for Power Generation and Energy Conversion Applications. This workshop provides a highly interactive forum for researchers to present and discuss recent innovations in micro and nanotechnology for power generation and energy conversion applications. The scope ranges from integrated microsystems for power generation, dissipation, harvesting, and management to novel nanostructures and materials for energy-related applications. The support provided through this project serves to defray the costs for junior researchers (students, postdocs, and junior faculty members) to attend the workshop to present their work and learn more about the economically and environmentally vital field of high power microsystems.Attending meetings to present their work and learn more about the broader context of their field is a key educational experience for students and postdocs everywhere, and indeed for junior faculty. These new researchers are also the future of this field, and the interdisciplinary connections fostered by this workshop are the basis for the field's future progress. Without travel support, students, postdocs and new faculty are less likely to be able to attend this workshop and take advantage of this educational opportunity, and travel support may encourage many to attend. To encourage increased and diverse participation, news of the workshop has been disseminated broadly through print media, web presence, direct emails to past participants, and direct outreach to interested individuals and groups, including underrepresented minorities and women.

该项目的目标是支持美国研究生、博士后和初级终身教职人员更多地参与第九届发电和能源转换应用微纳米技术国际研讨会。该研讨会为研究人员提供了一个高度互动的论坛，展示和讨论用于发电和能源转换应用的微米和纳米技术的最新创新。范围从用于发电、耗散、收集和管理的集成微系统到用于能源相关应用的新型纳米结构和材料。通过该项目提供的支持用于支付初级研究人员（学生、博士后和初级教职人员）参加研讨会的费用，以展示他们的工作并了解更多有关高功率微系统的经济和环境重要领域的信息。展示他们的工作并更多地了解其领域的更广泛背景，对于世界各地的学生和博士后，甚至对于初级教师来说，都是一种重要的教育经历。 这些新的研究人员也是该领域的未来，本次研讨会所培养的跨学科联系是该领域未来进步的基础。 如果没有旅行支持，学生、博士后和新教师不太可能参加这次研讨会并利用这一教育机会，而旅行支持可能会鼓励许多人参加。 为了鼓励更多和多样化的参与，研讨会的新闻已通过印刷媒体、网络存在、向过去的参与者发送直接电子邮件以及直接向感兴趣的个人和团体（包括代表性不足的少数群体和妇女）进行广泛传播。
