Smith-1441779.Title: Travel support for U.S. students to attend the 4th International Palaeontological CongressFunded by NSF Office of International and Integrative Global Venture Fund and NSF Sedimentary Geology & Paleobiology Program Non-Technical Description:This award will provide partial support for the international travel of 15 US graduate students to attend the Fourth International Palaeontological Congress (4th IPC) in Mendoza, Argentina from 28 September ? 3 October 2014. It is expected that more than 500 professional paleontologists from around the globe will attend the 4th IPC. Students selected to receive travel support will be chosen from across the subfields of paleontology, ensuring that a diverse group of students have the opportunity to attend and present their research results. In addition to sharing their own research, the meeting will provide opportunities for participants to explore new research directions and debate topics with specialists from across the globe. There will be a combination of plenary lectures, symposia on leading issues, interactive workshops, technical sessions and short courses. Technical Description:Paleontology is a vibrant discipline that includes such currently relevant topics as the origin and evolution of life, the response of biotas to environmental perturbations, extinction and the nature of preservation of fossil data. It is a completely interdisciplinary field of study that includes researchers from biology, sedimentary geology, stratigraphy, geochronology, geochemistry, and modeling. The STEPPE coordinating office, in collaboration with the Geological Society of America, the Paleobotanical Section of the Botanical Society of America, the Paleontological Society, the Society for Sedimentary Geology-SEPM and the Society for Vertebrate Paleontology will read and evaluate undergraduate and graduate student applications, ensuring that there is equal representation from across the societies? disciplines and that there is balance in terms of gender and participation by those from underrepresented groups. Student participation in the 4th IPC meeting will uniquely contribute to the geological and biological sciences because it will bring together global paleontologists, of all career stages, to share their research methods, findings and experiences in the field. This will lead to new opportunities for collaboration and the creation of novel approaches to studying our world.

Title：Travel support for US students to attend the 4th International Palaeontological CongressFunded by NSF Office of International and Integrative Global Venture Fund and NSF Sedimental Geology Paleobiology Program Non-Technical Description：该奖项将为15名美国研究生参加9月28日在阿根廷门多萨举行的第四届国际古生物学大会（4th IPC）提供部分国际旅行支持。2014年10月3日预计来自地球仪的500多名专业古生物学家将参加第四届IPC。被选中接受旅行支持的学生将从古生物学的各个子领域中选择，确保不同的学生群体有机会参加并展示他们的研究成果。除了分享自己的研究成果外，会议还将为与会者提供机会，与来自地球仪的专家探讨新的研究方向和辩论主题。将结合全体讲座、主要问题专题讨论会、互动讲习班、技术会议和短期课程。古生物学是一门充满活力的学科，包括生命的起源和进化、生物对环境扰动的反应、灭绝和化石数据保存的性质等当前相关的主题。 它是一个完全跨学科的研究领域，包括来自生物学，沉积地质学，地层学，地质年代学，地球化学和建模的研究人员。草原协调办公室与美国地质学会、美国植物学会古植物学分会、古生物学会、沉积地质学会-SEPM和脊椎动物古生物学会合作，将阅读和评估本科生和研究生的申请，确保各学会有平等的代表性。委员会还注意到，各学科之间存在着性别和代表性不足群体的参与方面的平衡。学生参加第四届IPC会议将为地质和生物科学做出独特的贡献，因为它将汇集全球所有职业阶段的古生物学家，分享他们在该领域的研究方法，发现和经验。这将带来新的合作机会，并创造研究我们世界的新方法。
