This grant will provide travel assistance for participants at                   Symposium Number 135 of the International Astronomical Union.                   Special attention will be given to aiding young scientists.  The                topic of the symposium is interstellar dust.                                                                                                                    Interstellar dust is of major importance in astrophysics because                of its central role in processes such as star formation and the                 physics and chemistry of the interstellar medium.  Research on the              properties of interstellar dust is an area which has been                       developing with astonishing rapidity, but the last IAU Symposium                dedicated to the subject was over eighteen years ago.  It is                    timely to convene Symposium Number 135 to foster an effective                   exchange of ideas among observers, theoreticians, and laboratory                experimentalists in this important subject.
