项目摘要

This award to the American Astronomical Society will fund U.S. astronomers to travel to international scientific conferences to present their research and to engage with their international colleagues. It will provide to selected individuals round-trip, economy-class airfare on U.S. flag carriers to conferences held in international locations through the American Astronomical Society’s International Travel Grant Program. The program favors earlier career astronomers, such as graduate students and those having recently received their Ph.D., those from smaller, less-endowed institutions, and astronomers playing important roles in international conferences, such as invited or plenary speakers.The fundamental goal of the program is to place U.S. scientists at international scientific conferences to present their research, learn from others at the conference, and network with international scientists. The program also helps shine a spotlight on U.S. research accomplishments and on the dynamic research environment that the U.S. provides for the astronomical sciences, and could serve as a recruitment tool for international scientists to undertake research partnerships with American scientists or even to consider relocating to the U.S. to pursue their research career. The experience of international travel will also benefit the individual researchers, allowing them to grow and perfect their presentation style, while directly sharing their research results with others in the astronomy community and with the public, where available and appropriate.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.

该奖项授予美国天文学会，将资助美国天文学家前往国际科学会议展示他们的研究成果，并与国际同行进行交流。该奖项还将为选定的美国旗舰航空公司提供前往参加会议的往返经济舱机票。通过美国天文学会的国际旅行资助计划，该计划有利于早期职业天文学家，例如研究生和最近获得博士学位的天文学家，以及来自规模较小、资金较少的天文学家。该计划的基本目标是让美国科学家在国际科学会议上展示他们的研究成果，向会议上的其他人学习，并与国际科学家建立联系该计划还有助于突出美国的研究成就和美国为天文科学提供的动态研究环境，并可以作为国际科学家的招募工具，与美国科学家建立研究伙伴关系，甚至可以作为国际科学家的招募工具。考虑搬到美国继续他们的研究事业，国际旅行的经历也将使研究人员受益，使他们能够成长和完善他们的演讲风格，同时直接与天文学界的其他人和公众分享他们的研究成果，在可用和适当的情况下。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
