The National Science Foundation has provided significant and fundamental financial support to both the annual Cliometrics Conferences and the World Congresses of Cliometrics. "Cliometrics" is economics in the service of history and history in the service of economics. The field of cliometrics evolved in the 1960s from convergent research interests in several fields; most notably economics, history, and statistics, but drawing also on demography, political science, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, and other social sciences. Recently, the field has become more interdisciplinary with the hard sciences with papers in economics and history combining with anatomy, climatology, and biology.This award continues NSF support of cliometric research by sponsoring and providing significant funding for conference and travel expenses for the 2006 and 2007 annual Cliometrics Conferences and also for the 2008 World Cliometrics Congress in Europe. Over the past several years, the selection process for the annual Conference has been performed by a selection committee with a three year roll. Twelve papers are chosen from roughly 50 submissions. The remaining participants are then selected from those who have submitted papers or applied for attendance. The organizers consistently have managed to avoid exclusivity and partisan passion in making the choices, viewing themselves as representatives of a broader intellectual movement rather than as advocates for one or another of its branches. Particular attention is paid to the presence of graduate students and new scholars. The steady mixing of new faces and experienced researchers has created a unique intellectual environment and increases the participation of potentially under-represented groups. The format allows the presenter ten minutes followed by fifty minutes of intense discussion and questions. This format enhances research broadly and to help train the future teachers and researchers in the field.In terms of the broader impacts, funding from the NSF accomplishes several things.First, it enables a group of graduate students and young faculty to attend a conference that they could otherwise not afford. Funding established practitioners ensures that they fulfill the obligation to read all the papers in advance and arrive prepared with questions and discussion. Second, authors presenting papers receive intense exposure for their work from an 'expert' group which, without the Cliometrics Conference, could take several years. Third, all participants benefit by discovering knowledgeable and enthusiastic colleagues. This unique combination of financial support from the NSF and professional support from conference attendees provides young scholars with the stimulation and encouragement to commit themselves to the field. All papers presented at these Conferences are widely disseminated on the Cliometrics website: http://www.eh.net/Clio.

美国国家科学基金会为年度计量学会议和世界计量学大会提供了重要的基础财政支持。“计量经济学”是为历史服务的经济学，也是为经济学服务的历史。计量学领域是在20世纪60年代从几个领域的研究兴趣融合而来的；最著名的是经济学、历史学和统计学，但也涉及人口统计学、政治学、社会学、人类学、考古学和其他社会科学。最近，该领域变得更加跨学科与硬科学，论文在经济学和历史结合解剖学，气候学和生物学。这个奖项继续了NSF对计量学研究的支持，赞助了2006年和2007年的计量学年会以及2008年在欧洲举行的世界计量学大会，并为会议和差旅费提供了大量资金。在过去几年中，年会的遴选过程一直由一个每三年一次的遴选委员会进行。从大约50份提交的论文中选出12篇。然后从提交论文或申请出席的参与者中选择剩余的参与者。在做出选择时，组织者一直设法避免排他性和党派激情，把自己视为更广泛的知识分子运动的代表，而不是其中一个分支的倡导者。特别注意的是研究生和新学者的出席。新面孔和经验丰富的研究人员的稳定混合创造了一个独特的智力环境，并增加了潜在的代表性不足的群体的参与。这种形式允许演讲人在10分钟后进行50分钟的激烈讨论和提问。这种形式广泛地加强了研究，并有助于培养该领域未来的教师和研究人员。就更广泛的影响而言，来自国家科学基金会的资助完成了几件事。首先，它使一群研究生和年轻教师能够参加他们原本负担不起的会议。资助已建立的从业者确保他们履行提前阅读所有论文的义务，并准备好问题和讨论。其次，发表论文的作者会从一个“专家”小组获得大量的曝光，如果没有Cliometrics会议，这可能需要几年的时间。第三，所有参与者都受益于发现知识渊博、热情的同事。来自NSF的财政支持和来自与会者的专业支持的这种独特组合为年轻学者提供了激励和鼓励，使他们致力于该领域。在这些会议上发表的所有论文都在Cliometrics网站上广泛传播：http://www.eh.net/Clio。
