Astronomy is a fully international endeavor. To participate in the international scientific community, American researchers must meet and collaborate with researchers from around the world, and to do this they must attend international scientific meetings. These meetings provide a forum for interacting with other researchers, forming collaborations, presenting new results and participating in the international scientific community.This award will provide support for US astronomers, postdocs, and students to participate in international professional meetings. The award will cover three years of travel grants, including a large number of grants (approximately 120) that will support travel to the IAU General Assembly which will be held in Beijing, China in 2012. This award will be especially important to early-career researchers and those from less-endowed institutions as it will help give them the opportunity to actively participate in these important meetings.

天文学是一项完全国际化的事业。为了参与国际科学界，美国研究人员必须与世界各地的研究人员会面并合作，为此，他们必须参加国际科学会议。这些会议为与其他研究人员互动、形成合作、展示新成果和参与国际科学界提供了论坛。该奖项将为美国天文学家、博士后和学生参加国际专业会议提供支持。该奖项将涵盖三年的旅费补助，其中包括大量补助金（约 120 笔），用于支持参加 2012 年在中国北京举行的 IAU 大会的旅费。该奖项对于早期职业生涯尤其重要研究人员和来自资金较少的机构的人员，因为这将有助于让他们有机会积极参与这些重要会议。
