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.

这笔赠款的支持将有助于支付美国学者前往比利时鲁汶参加国际生物学历史、哲学和社会研究学会(ISHPSSB)7月19-23日会议的费用。这次会议是协会的第七次两年一次的会议，也是协会首次在北美以外举行的会议。在其12年的历史过程中，ISHPSSB已经成为历史学家、哲学家和生物学社会科学家相互交流的主要场所，并与执业生物学家就共同的专业兴趣问题进行互动。该协会过去的会议非常鼓舞人心，成果丰硕。从会议会议中发展出了宝贵的学术联系和交流。1995年是该学会举行其第一次欧洲会议的有利时机，因为以前的会议有25%的与会者来自北美以外的地区；欧洲各中心在这些领域的重大工作正在迅速推进；过去几年里，欧洲从历史、哲学和社会科学的角度建立了新的国家生物学研究学会。这些旅费用于帮助研究生和独立学者参加1995年的会议。资金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。补助金获得者正在由旅行补助金奖励委员会挑选。资助金是通过科学学会历史学会管理的。
