The Office of International and Academic Affairs (OIAA) has information about a new Travel Grant Program to Russia for U.S. women scientists. The American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) Program on Europe and Central Asia and the Association for the Support of Women in Sciences and Humanities (ASWISH) in Russia, with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation, announce a one-time travel grant program to promote the participation of U.S. women scientists in scientific meetings in Russia. The goal of this grants program is to raise the profile of women scientists in Russia and to encourage U.S.-Russian cooperation and information exchange among women scientists.

This year, the U.S. standards community will celebrate World Standards Day on September 22. To highlight the importance of standards to industry and government, the sponsors of World Standards Day, including NIST, are again holding a paper competition. The theme for the 1999 World Standards Day paper contest will be "Standards Development: Balancing Need and Speed". PRIZES: The author(s) of the winning submission will receive $2,500 and a commemorative plaque. Prizes of $1000 for 2nd place and $500 for third place may also be awarded. Winning papers will be published by ANSI, the Standards Engineering Society, and others. ELIGIBILITY: The competition is open to individuals in private sector or government facilities. The paper may be co-authored. RULES: The paper must be original and not previously published. NIST papers should be processed through WERB or BERB in the usual way. Entries must received by August 1, 1999. Contest rules and application forms may be obtained through the Standards Engineering Society home page at http://www.ses-standards.org or call Jean-Paul Emard at Electronic Industries Alliance, 703-907-7518. For further information contact Pat Cooke, 301-975-4033, patrick.cooke@nist.gov.
