Activities of the U.S. National Committee for Psychology

摘要美国国家心理委员会（USNC/IUPsyS）代表美国国家科学院（NAS）代表美国心理科学界参加国际心理科学联合会（IUPsyS）。USNC/IUPsyS提供了一个有价值的网络，通过这个网络，美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和美国国家科学院（NAS）增强了他们为全球心理科学研究做出贡献的能力。它也是美国国家科学院通过国际联合活动接触美国科学界的一个工具，这些活动旨在进一步发展国内和国际心理学领域，从而帮助创造一个多样化和面向全球的美国科学劳动力。美国参与IUPsyS在国家科学基础设施中发挥了独特的作用。全国委员会：-为美国科学家和外国同行之间的对话提供论坛；-制定在发展中国家建设人力和研究能力的项目；-通过赞助有关主题的会议和讲习班以及开展双边或区域研究合作的试点/示范项目，促进研究合作；组织青年科学家和来自代表性不足背景的科学家参加国际科学大会的旅行资助计划。-与工会官员互动，确保强有力的管治和健全的财务管理；-甄选并支持最佳的工会候选人；总的来说，这个拟议的计划鼓励跨学科和国际边界的合作研究和教育努力，并使美国从全球科学和技术投资中受益。USNC/IUPsyS的拟议活动包括：1)举办一个研讨会和报告，解决跨国心理学研究的体制障碍；2)建立一个网站，提供促进国际合作的资源；3)与IUPsyS大会一起举办两次高级研究培训研讨会（ARTS）。全国委员会的影响是委员会成员工作的结果，他们代表了各种心理科学学科，并具有强烈的国际利益。该委员会的几位现任和前任成员在国际工会一级发挥领导作用。该委员会的工作——无论是作为在国内和国际领域都有影响的科学倡议的组织者，还是作为联盟层面的领导者——最终都有助于美国的科学外交活动。

Activities of the U. S. National Committee for PsychologyProject AbstractThe U.S. National Committee for Psychology (USNC/IUPsyS) represents the U.S. psychological science community to the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) on behalf of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The USNC/IUPsyS provides a valuable network through which the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the NAS enhance their capacity to contribute to global research in psychological science. It is also a vehicle through which the NAS reaches out to the U.S. scientific community through international union activities that are designed to further develop the fields of psychology both nationally and internationally, thus helping to create a diverse and globally-oriented U.S. scientific workforce. U.S participation in IUPsyS fulfills a unique role in the national science infrastructure. The national committee: - provides a forum for dialogue between U.S. scientists and foreign colleagues; - develops programs for building human and research capacity in developing countries; - fosters research cooperation by sponsoring conferences and workshops on topics of interest and by initiating pilot/demonstration projects for bilateral or regional research collaborations; and - organizes travel grant programs for young scientists and scientists from underrepresented backgrounds to participate in international scientific congresses. - interacts with union officers to ensure strong governance and sound financial management; - identifies and supports the best candidates for election to union offices; Overall, this proposed program encourages cooperative research and education efforts across disciplinary and international boundaries, and positions the United States to benefit from global investment in science and technology. The proposed activities of the USNC/IUPsyS are 1) a workshop and report addressing institutional impediments to cross-national psychological research, 2) a website with resources to foster international collaborations, and 3) two Advanced Research Training Seminars (ARTS) held in conjunction with the IUPsyS General Assemblies.The national committee's impact is the result of the work of the members of the committee, who represent a variety of psychological science disciplines and have strong international interests. Several current and past members of the committee exercise leadership at the international union level. The work of the committee -- whether as an organizer of scientific initiatives with impact in both domestic and international arenas or as a leader at the union level -- ultimately contributes to U.S. scientific diplomacy activities.
