Travel Award for Beginning Women Endocrinologists

这一奖项授予一个名为女性内分泌学的组织，该奖项提供资金，帮助资助在内分泌学会年会上展示自己工作成果的初学女性内分泌学家的旅行。通过拥有一个小而稳定的基础，帮助支付这些年轻调查人员的旅费，该组织将增加妇女对这一领域主要年度活动的参与。它提供了一个极好的机会来加强人力资源基础设施，增加年轻女性，特别是来自代表性不足群体的年轻女性参加重大科学会议的机会，以建立重要的专业联系，重点是支持年轻研究人员，而不是临床医生，这与国家科学基金会支持基础研究的使命一致。组织者计划在未来几年利用NSF的捐款来利用其他来源不断增加的配套资金。这一奖项将对许多接受援助的年轻女性的职业发展产生重大影响，使她们成为这一重要且不断增长的领域中活跃的基础研究人员。

This award to an organization called Women in Endocrinology provides funds to help support travel to beginning women endocrinologists who are presenting their work at the annual meetings of the Endocrine Society. By having a small but stable base helping to defray travel costs for these young investigators, the organization will increase the participation of women in the main annual event in this field. It provides an excellent opportunity to enhance the human resource infrastructure by increasing accessibility to a major scientific meeting by young women, particularly from under-represented groups, to establish important professional contacts, and the emphasis is on supporting young researchers, rather than clinicians, in line with NSF's mission of supporting basic research. The organizers have planned to use the NSF contribution to leverage increasing matching funds from other sources for future years. This award will have a substantial impact on the career development of the many young women who receive the assistance, to become known as active basic researchers in this important and growing field.
