4S Travel Grant

这项建议使选定的研究生能够参加科学社会研究学会的年度专业会议。这个学会是从事科学和技术研究的人的中心聚会场所和智力论坛，也是欢迎研究生的地方：他们不仅看到论文，他们还展示论文，并与就职业和智力问题提供建议的导师联系在一起。研究生的国内航班最高奖金为750美元，国际航班最高奖金为1000美元，而且所有学生都必须是乘坐美国航空公司航班的美国学生。有一个竞争性的遴选过程，学生被要求提供关于他们经验的后续文档。这是研究生资助申请的第四次重复；之前的几次将学生带入该领域，他们现在是教育和创新领域的领导者。

This proposal enables selected graduate students to attend annual professional meetings of the Society for Social Studies of Science. This society is the central meeting place and intellectual forum for those engaged in Science and Technology Studies and it is a welcoming place for graduate students: they not only see papers, they also present, and are connected with mentors who advise them on careers and intellectual matters. The maximum award for a graduate student is $750 for a domestic flight and $1000 for international, and all must be US students flying on US carriers. There is a competitive selection process and the students are required to provide follow-up documentation on their experience. This is the fourth iteration of this graduate student funding request; earlier ones have brought students into the field who are now leaders in education and innovation.
