Travel Grant for XXV International Ethological Conference: August 20-27, 1997, Vienna, Austria

- 9603570邮票此奖励计划提供部分资助，以资助十位美国青年科学家参加将于一九九七年八月二十至二十七日在奥地利维也纳举行的第二十五届国际动物行为学会议。IEC吸引了来自40多个国家的科学家，它是唯一一个将对动物行为各个方面感兴趣的科学家聚集在一起的国际聚会。此外，自近50年前成立以来，IEC促进了动物行为和相关学科之间的联系。事实上，维也纳会议的一个主要主题是确定和建立动物行为的传统领域（如感觉机制、行为生态学、发育）与相关领域（包括神经生物学、内分泌学、保护和进化生物学）之间的联系。多年来，国家科学基金会授予IEC的旅行奖已经授予了111名年轻的研究者，其中许多人后来成为该领域的领导者。杰出的年轻研究人员在其职业生涯之初，以及来自世界各地的同事和潜在合作者的参与，丰富了国际教育委员会的工作。

- 9603570 Stamps This award provides partial support for ten young United States scientists to attend the 25th International Ethological Conference (IEC) to held in Vienna, Austria from August 20-27, 1997. The IEC attracts scientists from over 40 nations, and it is the only international gathering that brings together scientists interested in all aspects of animal behavior. In addition, since its inception nearly 50 years ago, the IEC has fostered links between animal behavior and related disciplines. Indeed, a major theme of the Vienna conference is identifying and forging connections between traditional fields in animal behavior (e.g. sensory mechanisms, behavioral ecology, development), and related fields, including neurobiology, endocrinology, conservation and evolutionary biology. Over the years, previous NSF travel awards to the IEC have gone to 111 young investigators, many of whom have subsequently become leaders in the field. The IEC is enriched by the participation of outstanding young investigators at the outset of their careers, while colleagues and potential collaborators from around the.world.
