This is funding to support travel for a diverse group of U.S. PhD students and distinguished faculty mentors to participate in a doctoral colloquium (workshop) on research on information science that will be co-located with the 2013 iConference to be hosted by the University of North Texas in Fort Worth on February 11-15. The iConferences, the annual meetings of the iSchool community, are a leading forum that brings together faculty, students, research staff, and industry practitoners with a common interest in supporting and augmenting human engagement with information and technology. Open to broad participation, the iConferences have been successful in building a sense of community around the information field, bringing together people who otherwise might rarely interact with one another, and helping them share findings and exchange views relating to their interdisciplinary research. More information about the iConference may be found online at http://www.ischools.org/iConference13/participation, The 2013 iConference Doctoral Colloquium, which will take place on February 15, 2013 (the final day of the iConference), will be a research-focused meeting of about 25 selected Ph.D. candidates studying all aspects of information science (IS), along with approximately 10 distinguished mentors. The primary objective of the Doctoral Colloquium is to help train the next generation of information science researchers. To this end, it will provide the student participants with an environment in which they can share and discuss their goals, methods and results at an early stage of their research. By participating in the doctoral colloquium, students will gain feedback on their work both from the mentors and from other students, which should allow them to enhance their research. 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 work within the IS community. In addition, the colloquium will provide students with opportunities to make new professional connections beyond their own disciplines. Broader Impacts: The iConference doctoral colloquia 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. No more than one student will be accepted from any given institution, and priority will be given to students who have not previously attended an iConference Doctoral Colloquium. The organizers will proactively work to include women and minority representation among the student participants to the extent possible. 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.

这笔资金将用于资助不同群体的美国博士生和杰出的教师导师参加一个关于信息科学研究的博士研讨会（研讨会），该研讨会将于2月11日至15日在沃斯堡由北德克萨斯大学主办的2013年iconconference同时举行。iconference是iSchool社区的年度会议，是一个领先的论坛，汇集了教师，学生，研究人员和行业从业者，他们对支持和增强人类与信息和技术的接触有共同的兴趣。这些会议向广泛参与开放，成功地在信息领域建立了一种社区意识，将原本很少相互交流的人聚集在一起，帮助他们分享发现并就其跨学科研究交换意见。2013年iconconference博士讨论会将于2013年2月15日（iconconference的最后一天）举行，将是一次以研究为重点的会议，约有25名选定的研究信息科学（IS）各个方面的博士候选人，以及大约10名杰出的导师。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。为此，它将为学生参与者提供一个环境，在这个环境中，他们可以在研究的早期阶段分享和讨论他们的目标、方法和结果。通过参加博士讨论会，学生将从导师和其他学生那里获得关于他们工作的反馈，这将使他们能够加强他们的研究。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他们的工作。此外，研讨会将为学生提供机会，在自己的学科之外建立新的专业联系。更广泛的影响：传统上，iconconference博士座谈会将信息科学及相关领域的下一代研究人员聚集在一起，使他们能够在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。任何机构最多只接受一名学生，并且优先考虑以前没有参加过会议博士研讨会的学生。组织者将积极努力，在学生参与者中尽可能地包括妇女和少数民族代表。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。
