This award is to support student travel to the International School for Space Simulations (ISSS). It was first held in 1982 in Japan as a joint collaboration between leading scientists from the US, Asia and Europe, in order to teach basic simulation techniques to students going into this growing field. The first meeting was a great success and since that time ISSS has been held on average every 2 to 3 years rotating locations between Europe, Asia, and the US. The next ISSS meeting will be the 13th in the series and following the tradition of rotating between Asia, Europe and the US will be held in the United States at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) from September 6-14, 2018. This project is for support for (non-UCLA) students to be able to attend ISSS-13. The ISSS meeting has provided new generations of students with a basic understanding of the numerical simulation techniques and is for many their first exposure to cutting edge space science research. Feedback from students over the years who have attended ISSS meetings has been overwhelmingly positive, with some saying it was their favorite meeting they attended as a student. Scores of previous ISSS students have gone on to careers in space plasma simulations as researchers, professors and civil servants at NSF and NASA. Since space science is an international endeavor, the international aspect of this meeting opens future space scientists and simulators to the world at large and initiates contacts and collaborations among scientists, researchers and students that last a lifetime.The first four days of the ISSS meeting comprise the school portion and include intensive hands-on training with experts in the field such that when finished students will learn how different types of codes work, including particle in cell (PIC), hybrid and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), and will have run the codes themselves to produce output and graph the results. Basic simulation codes are given to the students, which are theirs to keep after the meeting for further use and study. The symposium portion of the meeting is held immediately after the school portion and allows the students who have just learned the basics of the various codes to interact with world experts who conduct cutting edge research in space science. The environment of the symposium is maintained to be student friendly whereby students can feel free to ask basic questions and interact with top scientists in smaller groups or one on one sessions, either at the science presentations, poster sessions or social events meant to foster teaching and collaboration. This school and symposium approach has proven over the years to be very effective for students to maximize their knowledge gain from the meeting.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项旨在支持学生前往国际太空模拟学校（ISS）的旅行。它于1982年首次在日本举行，是来自美国，亚洲和欧洲的主要科学家之间的共同合作，以向进入这个不断发展的领域的学生讲授基本的模拟技术。第一次会议取得了巨大的成功，从那时起，国际空间站平均每2至3年举行一次欧洲，亚洲和美国之间的地点。下一次ISS会议将是该系列的第13届会议，遵循亚洲，欧洲和美国之间轮换的传统，将于2018年9月6日至14日在美国加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）举行。该项目旨在支持（非美国裔）学生参加ISSS-13。 ISSS会议为新一代学生提供了对数值模拟技术的基本了解，并且是许多人首次接触尖端的太空科学研究。多年来，参加ISSS会议的学生的反馈非常积极，有人说这是他们作为学生参加的他们最喜欢的会议。作为NSF和NASA的研究人员，教授和公务员，数十名以前的ISS学生一直从事太空等离子体模拟的职业。 Since space science is an international endeavor, the international aspect of this meeting opens future space scientists and simulators to the world at large and initiates contacts and collaborations among scientists, researchers and students that last a lifetime.The first four days of the ISSS meeting comprise the school portion and include intensive hands-on training with experts in the field such that when finished students will learn how different types of codes work, including particle in cell (PIC), hybrid and磁流失动力学（MHD），并将运行代码本身以产生输出并绘制结果。基本的仿真代码是给学生的，这是他们在会议之后保留的，以进行进一步使用和学习。会议的研讨会部分是在学校部分后立即举行的，并允许刚刚学习各种代码的基础知识的学生与从事太空科学领域进行尖端研究的世界专家互动。座谈会的环境保持友好，使学生可以随意提出基本问题，并与较小的小组或一对一会议的顶级科学家进行互动，无论是在科学演示，海报会议或社交活动中，旨在培养教学和协作。多年来，这种学校和专题讨论会的方法已证明对学生从会议中最大化知识提高非常有效。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
