This award will provide support for the attendees and invited speakers for the twentieth Annual Symposium of the NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellows, to be held in conjunction with the winter meeting of the American Astronomical Society in January 2022, in Salt Lake City, Utah. The purpose of the Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowships (AAPF) Program is to support integrated research and education activities at the postdoctoral level to better prepare its fellows for positions of distinction and leadership in the scientific community. The Annual Symposium provides a forum for the Fellows to discuss their research and education projects while increasing their visibility within the astronomy and astrophysics community. The Symposium represents a key component of the AAPF Program and is a very effective mechanism to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and experience that the Fellows have acquired through their postdoctoral training. As with previous symposia in this series, the 2022 AAPF Symposium will promote interactions among astronomers with diverse research interests and backgrounds. By creating a forum in which discussions can occur across traditional research boundaries, the Symposium will provide Fellows the opportunity to gain new insights and pursue interdisciplinary collaborations. The Symposium will also provide a venue for discussing major issues that are important to early-career astronomers. In addition, the Symposium will (1) provide a forum to discuss integrated research and education activities, (2) facilitate collaborations between Fellows on both research and education, and (3) provide greater exposure for the Fellows and the AAPF Program within the astronomical community.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.

该奖项将为与会者和邀请的演讲者提供支持，参加NSF天文学和天体物理学博士后专家的第20年年度研讨会，并将与2022年1月在犹他州盐湖城举行的美国天文学会冬季会议一起举行。天文学和天体物理学博士后奖学金（AAPF）计划的目的是支持博士后一级的综合研究和教育活动，以更好地为其研究员准备科学界的杰出和领导地位。年度研讨会为研究员提供了一个论坛，以讨论他们的研究和教育项目，同时提高天文学和天体物理学社区的知名度。研讨会是AAPF计划的关键组成部分，是一种非常有效的机制，可以促进研究员通过博士后培训获得的知识和经验的转移。与本系列节目中的以前的研讨会一样，2022年AAPF研讨会将促进具有多种研究兴趣和背景的天文学家之间的相互作用。通过创建一个论坛，在传统的研究边界可以进行讨论，研讨会将为研究员提供获得新见解并进行跨学科合作的机会。研讨会还将为讨论对早期职业天文学家重要的主要问题提供一个场所。此外，研讨会将（1）提供一个论坛来讨论整合的研究和教育活动，（2）促进研究员在研究和教育方面之间的合作，（3）在天文学中为研究员和AAPF计划提供更大的曝光率社区。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持。
