This award will support participation of students, postdocs, and early-career faculty in the 10th International Congress of Vertebrate Morphology, Barcelona, Spain, July 8th -12th, 2013. Morphology, the study of form or shape, is the foundational field for a diversity of areas of biological research including developmental biology, biomechanics, paleontology and evolutionary biology. Symposium topics are forward looking and interdisciplinary, and include sessions on Hominin evolution, the function and evolution of the nose, the function of non-contractile components of muscle and the curation and analysis of 3-D data. The Congress will bring together leaders in the field from around the world, students and post-doctoral fellows, and integrative scientists from related disciplines. The international nature of the meeting is an excellent opportunity for students, postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty to develop productive collaborations with non-US researchers and to gain new insights and perspectives about the conduct of scientific research and infrastructure in different countries. The funding will be used to partially offset the travel and registration costs for 25 presenters at the meeting. Travel support provided through this award will be aimed at broadening participation in the meeting ensuring that greater numbers of women and members of underrepresented groups of US researchers will be able to attend. Among other broader impacts of the Congress will be the (1) integration and communication of research, (2) enhancement of research infrastructure through the encouragement of partnerships and collaborations, and (3) broad dissemination of research through publication of abstracts and posters. The posters will be available through the open source Faculty of 1000 web site.

该奖项将支持学生，博士后和早期职业教师参加2013年7月8日至12日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的第10届脊椎动物形态学国际大会。 形态学是对形态或形状的研究，是生物学研究的基础领域，包括发育生物学，生物力学，古生物学和进化生物学。 研讨会的主题是前瞻性的和跨学科的，包括会议的古人类进化，鼻子的功能和进化，肌肉的非收缩组件的功能和3-D数据的管理和分析。 大会将汇集来自世界各地的该领域的领导者，学生和博士后研究员，以及来自相关学科的综合科学家。会议的国际性质是学生，博士后研究人员和初级教师与非美国研究人员开展富有成效的合作，并获得有关不同国家科学研究和基础设施的新见解和观点的绝佳机会。这笔资金将用于部分抵消25名发言者出席会议的差旅费和登记费。 通过该奖项提供的差旅费支持将旨在扩大会议的参与，确保更多的妇女和代表性不足的美国研究人员群体的成员能够参加会议。大会的其他更广泛的影响将是（1）研究的整合和交流，（2）通过鼓励伙伴关系和合作加强研究基础设施，以及（3）通过出版摘要和海报广泛传播研究。 这些海报将通过开放源代码的1000人学院网站提供。
