Over the past 20 years, there has been a high level of activity and innovation in nanotechnology with growing understanding at how molecular scale phenomena manifests at the nano scale and eventually the system scale. Additionally, critical societal needs in the areas of energy, water, bioprocessing, and the environment are providing exciting new opportunities for nanotechnology. This project provides support for travel and registration expenses for graduate student, postdoctoral research fellow and faculty attendees of the second Pan American Nanotechnology Conference. The conference will be held from March 4th through 7th of 2020 at the Majestic Hotel, in Aguas de Lindoia, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The conference focus is on nanotechnology broadly and the attendant applications for a wide range of industrial and environmental processes of critical importance to U.S. technology competitiveness. The conference will also provide valuable educational, career development, and networking opportunities for students and early-career researchers. The conference theme of Growing Convergence in Nanotechnology will provide a venue for research convergence in different fields of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, such as social, legal, medical, agricultural, material design and synthesis, and modeling. This will enhance collaborative and impactful research at the nanoscale throughout the Pan American region. The conference will also foster informal discussions and networking that will occur outside of the formal lecture sessions among its participants from North, South and Central America. Such interactions aim to promote the generation of new ideas and new collaborations that assist in moving forward the field of nanotechnology. The organizers have also made special efforts to include women and underrepresented minorities in the conference. The Pan American Nanotechnology Conference will have specific sessions on the applications and impacts of nanotechnology on water quality and treatment, agricultural systems, devices such as sensors, medicine, nanomanufacturing and process intensification. The conference will be held from March 4th through 7th of 2020 at the Majestic Hotel, in Aguas de Lindoia, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The discussions between the speakers and audience will provide valuable feedback on current research efforts and will enable the participants to further develop and refine new ideas for their own research and/or to initiate new collaborative nanotechnology projects. The Pan American Nanotechnology Conference aims to provide a setting where researchers can present their most recent results. The conference will also foster informal discussions and networking that will occur outside of the formal lecture sessions among its participants from North, South and Central America. Such interactions aim to promote the generation of new ideas and new collaborations that assist in moving forward the field of nanotechnology. The organizers have also made special efforts to include women and underrepresented minorities in the conference. Notably the conference will include a modified and expanded Gordon Research Conferences "Power Hour" informal gathering for all meeting participants to discuss the challenges that women, ethnic and gender minorities, persons with disabilities and people with non-traditional background/experience face in science. This event helps to create an awareness of these important issues among the broader community such that the whole community can act to support the professional growth of women and underrepresented groups in science.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.

在过去的20年中，纳米技术的活性和创新水平很高，对分子尺度现象如何在纳米尺度上表现出来，最终最终是系统量表。此外，能源，水，生物处理和环境方面的关键社会需求为纳米技术提供了令人兴奋的新机会。该项目为研究生，博士后研究员和第二个PAN American Nanotechnology Conferition的旅行和登记费用提供了支持。会议将于2020年3月4日至7日在巴西圣保罗的Aguas de Lindoia的雄伟酒店举行。会议的重点是广泛地关注纳米技术以及对美国技术竞争力至关重要的各种工业和环境过程的应用程序。该会议还将为学生和早期研究人员提供宝贵的教育，职业发展和网络机会。纳米技术中日益增长的会议主题将为纳米材料和纳米技术领域的研究融合提供一个场所，例如社会，法律，医学，农业，农业，材料设计和合成以及建模。这将增强整个泛美地区的纳米级的协作和有影响力的研究。该会议还将培养非正式的讨论和网络，这些讨论和网络将在其来自北美洲，南美洲和中美洲的参与者之间举行。这种互动旨在促进新思想和新合作的产生，以帮助前进纳米技术领域。组织者还做出了特别的努力，以包括妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。 PAN American Nanotechnology会议将在纳米技术对水质和治疗，农业系统，传感器，医学，纳米制造和工艺加工等设备等设备，农业系统，农业系统，诸如纳米技术的应用和影响方面进行具体会议。会议将于2020年3月4日至7日在巴西圣保罗的Aguas de Lindoia的雄伟酒店举行。演讲者和听众之间的讨论将为当前的研究工作提供有价值的反馈，并使参与者能够进一步发展并完善自己的研究和/或启动新的合作纳米技术项目的新想法。 PAN American Nanotechnology会议旨在提供研究人员可以提供最新结果的环境。该会议还将培养非正式的讨论和网络，这些讨论和网络将在其来自北美洲，南美洲和中美洲的参与者之间举行。这种互动旨在促进新思想和新合作的产生，以帮助前进纳米技术领域。组织者还做出了特别的努力，以包括妇女和代表性不足的少数群体。值得注意的是，该会议将包括一个经过修改和扩展的戈登研究会议“力量时刻”非正式聚会，以讨论妇女，族裔和性别少数群体，残疾人和具有非传统背景/科学经验的人的挑战。这项活动有助于在更广泛的社区中提高人们对这些重要问题的认识，从而使整个社区可以采取行动支持妇女的专业成长和科学领域的人数不足的群体。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准通过评估来支持的。
