This action funds Daisy A. Segovia of John Jay College of Criminal Justice to conduct a research project, entitled "The relationship between memory control and suppressing thoughts about traumatic events," during the summer of 2012 at Victoria University of Wellington in Wellington. The host scientist is Maryanne Garry, PhD.The Intellectual Merit of the research project is advancing knowledge of what factors explain and predict people's recovery from trauma. Experiencing a traumatic event can lead some individuals to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. One of the main symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is the occurrence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts of the traumatic event. Research has shown that controlling unwanted memories of trauma requires the ability to manipulate information. This study investigates the relationship between memory control and suppressing thoughts about traumatic events.Broader Impacts of an EAPSI fellowship include providing the Fellow a first-hand research experience outside the U.S.; an introduction to the science, science policy, and scientific infrastructure of the respective location; and an orientation to the society, culture and language. These activities meet the NSF goal to educate for international collaborations early in the career of its scientists, engineers, and educators, thus ensuring a globally aware U.S. scientific workforce.

这项行动资助约翰·杰伊刑事司法学院的黛西·A·塞戈维亚 (Daisy A. Segovia) 于 2012 年夏天在惠灵顿维多利亚大学开展一项研究项目，题为“记忆控制与抑制有关创伤事件的想法之间的关系”。 主持科学家是 Maryanne Garry 博士。该研究项目的智力价值是增进对哪些因素解释和预测人们从创伤中恢复的知识。经历创伤事件可能会导致一些人患上创伤后应激障碍。创伤后应激障碍的主要症状之一是对创伤事件产生不想要的、侵入性的想法。研究表明，控制不想要的创伤记忆需要具备操纵信息的能力。这项研究调查了记忆控制和抑制有关创伤事件的想法之间的关系。 EAPSI 奖学金的更广泛影响包括为研究员提供美国以外的第一手研究经验；各自地点的科学、科学政策和科学基础设施的介绍；以及对社会、文化和语言的定位。 这些活动符合 NSF 的目标，即在科学家、工程师和教育工作者职业生涯的早期进行国际合作教育，从而确保美国科学劳动力具有全球意识。
