Support for U.S. Scholars to Travel to Belgium for the Biennial Meeting of the International Society for the History, Philo & Social Studies of Biology (7/19-23/95)

这笔资助将用于支付美国学者前往比利时鲁汶参加7月19日至23日国际生物学历史、哲学和社会研究学会（ISHPSSB）会议的费用。本次会议是该学会第七次两年一次的会议，也是该学会首次在北美以外地区举行的会议。在其12年的历史中，ISHPSSB已经成为生物学历史学家，哲学家和社会科学家相互交流的主要场所，并与实践生物学家就共同的专业兴趣问题进行交流。该协会过去的会议非常鼓舞人心，成果丰硕。宝贵的学术接触和交流已经从会议中发展起来。1995年是该协会举行第一次欧洲会议的有利时机，因为以前会议的参与者中有25%来自北美以外的地区；这些领域的重要工作正在欧洲各中心迅速推进；在过去的几年里，欧洲建立了新的国家学会，从历史、哲学和社会科学的角度研究生物学。这些旅费用于协助研究生和独立学者参加1995年的会议。资助仅限于那些正式参与该计划的人：发表论文，发表评论，和/或主持会议。奖学金获得者将由旅游奖学金委员会选出。拨款是通过科学史学会管理的。

Support from this grant will help to defray the expenses of US scholars to travel to Leuven, Belgium to attend the July 19-23 meeting of the International Society for the History, Philosophy, and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB). This meeting, the seventh biennial meeting of the society, is the first meeting of the society to be held outside North America. ISHPSSB has come in the course of its twelve year history to be the primary setting for historians, philosophers and social scientists of biology to interact with one another and with practicing biologists on issues of common, professional interest. Past meetings of the society have been highly stimulating and fruitful. Invaluable scholarly contacts and interchanges have developed from conference sessions. 1995 is a propitious time for this society to hold its first European meeting given that 25% of the participants at previous meetings have been coming from outside North America; that significant work in these fields is advancing apace at various European centers; and that the last several years have witnessed new national societies established in Europe for the study of biology from historical, philosophical and social scientific perspectives. These travel funds are being used to assist graduate students and independent scholars in attending the 1995 meeting. Funding is being limited to those with official participation in the program: presenting papers, delivering commentaries, and/or chairing sessions. Grant recipients are being selected by a travel grants award committee. Grants are being administered through the History of Science Society.
