Support for NACP.V - The Fifth North American Paleontological Convention: June 28-July 1, 1992; Chicago, IL

1992年6月下旬，菲尔德自然历史博物馆、伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校和芝加哥大学将主办由北美古生物学会(ANAPS)主办的第五届北美古生物大会(NAPC.V)。NAPC.V的主要目标是：i)鼓励古生物学不同分支学科之间的科学和专业互动；ii)为学生参加重大的国内和国际会议提供更好的机会；iii)促进将古生物学专业知识与广义生物学和地质学的研究相结合。NSF的支持将通过以下方式实现这些目标：i)部分支付来自NAPC.V古生物学不同分学科的六名全体演讲者以及主要古生物学家(特别是来自海外的初级教员、学生和参与者)参加预定跨学科研讨会的相关费用；以及二)资助学生(特别是妇女和少数群体)参加国家助学方案。

In late June 1992, the Field Museum of Natural History, the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Chicago will host the Fifth North American Paleontological Convention (NAPC.V) under the auspices of the Association of North American Paleontological Societies (ANAPS). The primary objectives of NAPC.V are to : i) encourage scientific and professional interactions between different subdisciplines in paleontology; ii) provide improved opportunities for the participation of students in major national and international meeting; iii) stimulate integration of paleontological expertise into research with biology and geology in the broad sense. NSF support will attain these objectives by: i) partially covering the costs associated with the participation of six plenary speakers from different subdisciplines in paleontology in NAPC.V, as well as key paleontologists (especially junior faculty, students and participants from overseas) who are contributing to scheduled interdisciplinary symposia; and ii) subsidizing the participation of students (particularly women and minorities) in NAPC.V.
