This award supports a planning visit to the Chengdu Institute of Geology and Marine Resources in Chendu, China, by Professors Rodney Feldman and Carrie Schweitzer of Kent State. The purpose of the trip is to develop a collaborative research project on the early evolution and radiation of decapods, specifically Crustacea, and the implications for the early history of the Mesozoic Marine Revolution. An extensive assemblage of well preserved fossils has recently been discovered in Luoping, Yunnan Province, and access to the specimens presents an opportunity to expand greatly the understanding of anthropod recovery following the end-Permian extinction. This planning visit aims to establish an international collaboration in both research and education based on the large repository of well preserved fossils in Chengdu. Few specimens of decapods in China have been described so the proposed study can add considerably to the knowledge base of marine evolution in the early Mesozoic period. In promoting the research collaboration among the participants, this planning visit will establish the basis for a full-scale proposal for research in China. That subsequent research project promises to engage undergraduate and graduate students in the field work.

该奖项支持肯特州立大学的Rodney Feldman教授和Carrie Schweitzer教授计划访问中国成都地质与海洋资源研究所。此行的目的是开发一个合作研究项目的早期演变和十足类，特别是甲壳类的辐射，以及对中生代海洋革命的早期历史的影响。 最近在云南罗平发现了一组保存完好的化石，获得这些标本是一个机会，可以大大扩展对二叠纪末灭绝后人类恢复的理解。此次计划访问旨在基于成都保存完好的大型化石库建立研究和教育方面的国际合作。中国的十足类化石标本很少，因此该研究可为中生代早期的海洋演化提供重要的资料。在促进参与者之间的研究合作方面，这次规划访问将为在中国进行全面研究的建议奠定基础。随后的研究项目承诺让本科生和研究生参与实地工作。
