Leading researchers in the field of Neuroethology from around the world meet at the International Congress of Neuroethology to share their research findings and forge research collaborations that are critical in moving the discipline forward. Research in neuroethology is at the cutting edge of neuroscience and behavioral research with basic biological and health related implications. For U.S. researchers to remain current, it is essential that they exchange ideas directly with their international colleagues. The Congress will emphasis comparative evolutionary approaches which meets the biodiversity initiatives of NSF as well as fostering development of scientists that may be involved in the Brain Initiative. The exchange of information among scientists during oral and poster presentations is of great value, but equally important are the personal exchanges and resulting collaborations established in the hallways between sessions and during the numerous topic-based workshops and symposia scheduled throughout the congress. Funds provided by NSF will help support the attendance of future leaders of in neuroethology and behavioral neuroscience. Specifically, recipients will be at an early stage in their careers (e.g., graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and beginning investigators) and will be from U.S. institutions. The selection committee will also strive to support individuals from groups that are historically underrepresented. Assistance of such scientists will help forge new, international collaborations, thereby creating long-term benefits for all involved.

来自世界各地的神经行为学领域的主要研究人员在国际神经行为学大会上会面，分享他们的研究成果，并建立研究合作，这对推动该学科的发展至关重要。神经行为学研究处于神经科学和行为研究的前沿，具有基本的生物学和健康相关意义。美国研究人员要想与时俱进，就必须直接与国际同行交流思想。大会将强调比较进化方法，以满足美国国家科学基金会的生物多样性倡议，并促进可能参与大脑倡议的科学家的发展。在口头和海报展示期间，科学家之间的信息交流是非常有价值的，但同样重要的是在会议之间的走廊上以及在大会期间安排的众多主题研讨会和专题讨论会期间建立的个人交流和由此产生的合作。由美国国家科学基金会提供的资金将帮助支持神经行为学和行为神经科学领域未来的领导者出席会议。具体来说，获奖者将处于其职业生涯的早期阶段（例如，研究生，博士后研究员和刚开始的研究人员），并且将来自美国机构。遴选委员会还将努力支持来自历史上代表性不足的群体的个人。这些科学家的援助将有助于建立新的国际合作，从而为所有参与的人创造长期利益。
