Support of Student Participation in the North American PaleontologicalConvention (NAPC-2009--Cincinnati, Ohio; June 21-June 26, 2009)William I. Ausich, Paleontological SocietyEAR-0904136This grant was supported by funds from both the Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology Program (GEO) and the Systematic Biology & Biodiversity Inventories Cluster (BIO)ABSTRACTThe North American Paleontological Convention (NAPC) is held every four years to bring together disparate parts of the paleontological sciences that otherwise seldom meet. It is supported by paleontological groups headquartered in North America and is open to all who are interested in paleontology. The meeting planned for June 21 through June 26, 2009 at the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio will be the ninth NAPC. Furthermore, the 2009 NAPC coincides with the bicentennial of the birth of Charles Darwin and the sesquicentennial of the publication of The Origin of Species. NSF has supported the participation of American students in previous NAPCs and this proposal requests funds to support students at next year's meeting. Based on past experience, the Organizing Committee anticipates that about 100-150 students will attend. The support will be used for two purposes. First of all funds will be provided to the meeting organizers to reduce the cost of student registration. Secondly, funds will be available to support the travel costs for some students to the meeting. Grantees would be selected on the basis of merit, and appropriate attention will be paid to the need to support minority groups and women.

支持学生参与北美古生物大会（NAPC-2009-辛辛那提，俄亥俄州; 2009年6月21日至6月26日）威廉I. Ausich，Paleontological Societyoung-0904136该基金由沉积地质学和古生物学计划（GEO）和系统生物学生物多样性目录集群（BIO）的资金支持。北美古生物学大会（NAPC）每四年举行一次，以汇集古生物学科学的不同部分，否则很少见面。它由总部设在北美的古生物学团体支持，并向所有对古生物学感兴趣的人开放。计划于2009年6月21日至26日在俄亥俄州辛辛那提的辛辛那提大学举行的会议将是第九届NAPC。 此外，2009年NAPC恰逢查尔斯达尔文诞辰二百周年和《物种起源》出版一百五十周年。 NSF支持美国学生参加以前的NAPC，这项提案要求在明年的会议上提供资金支持学生。根据以往的经验，组委会预计约有100-150名学生参加。支持将用于两个目的。首先，将向会议组织者提供资金，以减少学生注册的费用。第二，将提供资金，以支持一些学生参加会议的旅费。 受赠者将根据能力进行挑选，并将适当注意支持少数群体和妇女的必要性。
