Doctoral Colloquium at iConference 2012

这笔资金将用于资助一群不同的美国博士生和杰出的教师导师参加一个国际博士联盟，研究信息科学，该联盟将与2012年在加拿大多伦多举行的iconconference共同举办。iconconference是一个领先的论坛，汇集了教师、学生、研究人员和行业研究人员，他们对支持和增强人类与信息和技术的接触感兴趣。本次博士研讨会的主要目标是帮助培养下一代信息科学研究人员。2012年iconconference博士联盟将为一组大约20名研究信息科学（IS）各个方面的博士生提供一个环境，让他们在研究的早期阶段分享和讨论他们的目标、方法和结果。会议将于2012年2月10日举行，也就是会议的最后一天。通过参与博士联盟，学生将获得其他学生和六位杰出教师对他们工作的反馈，使他们能够加强自己的研究计划。学生还将更好地了解从事信息科学研究的不同研究团体，并学习如何在信息科学社区中定位自己的工作。此外，该联盟将为学生提供在自己学科之外建立新的专业联系的机会。将通过在会议网站上发布广告、在相关邮件列表中发帖和直接向信息科学及相关领域的教职员工征集博士生。将特别注意确定代表人数不足的群体的参加者。为了申请该联盟，学生将提交一份1000字的论文，概述他们的研究目标和迄今为止的工作，他们希望与其他博士联盟参与者讨论的关键问题清单，以及他们认为在他们的研究领域有突出成就的人的名字。申请将由联盟主席筛选，以适合IS主题领域，学生研究的发展状况和研究项目的质量。优先考虑已提出论文题目但尚未参加任何博士联合体的学生。更广泛的影响：iconconference博士联盟传统上汇集了信息科学和相关领域的下一代最优秀的研究人员，使他们能够在他们自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员建立一个社会网络。鼓励来自广泛的相关学科和方法的参与，从而拓宽与会者对其研究主题的看法，促进该领域的进步。组织者将明确地确定并包括尽可能广泛的高素质参与者群体。作为这些步骤的结果，学生和教师参与者将构成一个不同维度的多元化群体，这将有助于拓宽学生的视野，以造福该领域的未来。

This is funding to support travel for a diverse group of US PhD students and distinguished faculty mentors to participate in an international doctoral consortium on research on information science that will be co-located with the 2012 iConference in Toronto, Canada. The iConference is a leading forum that brings together faculty, students, research staff, and industry researchers who share an interest in supporting and augmenting human engagement with information and technology. The main goal of this Doctoral Colloquium is to help train the next generation of information science researchers.The 2012 iConference Doctoral Consortium will provide a group of approximately 20 PhD students studying all aspects of information science (IS) with an environment in which they can share and discuss their goals, methods and results at an early stage of their research. It will take place on February 10, 2012, the final day of the iConference. By participating in the doctoral consortium, students will gain feedback on their work from other students and six prominent faculty members, allowing them to enhance their own research proposal. Students will also develop a better understanding of the different research communities engaged in the study of information science, and learn how to position their own work within the IS community. In addition, the consortium will provide students with opportunities to make new professional connections beyond their own disciplines. Students will be recruited for the doctoral consortium through advertisement on the conference website, postings to relevant mailing lists and direct solicitation to faculty working in the area of information science and related fields. Particular attention will be placed on identifying participants from under-represented groups. To apply for the consortium, students will submit a 1000 word paper outlining their research goals and work to date, a list of key questions they would like to discuss with other doctoral consortium attendees, and the names of people they consider prominent in their areas of research. Applications will be screened by the consortium chairs for fit to the IS topic area, the state of development of the student's research, and the quality of the research project. Priority will be given to students who have proposed their dissertation topic but not yet attended any doctoral consortia.Broader impacts: The iConference doctoral consortia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of researchers in information science and related areas, allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Participation is encouraged from a broad range of relevant disciplines and approaches, thereby broadening attendees' perspectives on their topics of study and promoting advancement of the field. The organizers will try explicitly to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified participants. As a consequence of these steps, the student and faculty participants will constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, which will help broaden the students' horizons to the future benefit of the field.
