Strengthening the U.S. Voice in the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS)

美国国家心理学委员会（U.S. National Committee for Psychology，USNC）代表美国心理科学界与国际心理科学联合会（International Union of Psychological Science，IUPsyS），并代表美国国家科学院（National Academy of Sciences，NAS）。USNC/IUPsyS提供了一个有价值的网络，通过这个网络，美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和NAS提高了它们为全球心理科学研究做出贡献的能力。它也是NAS通过旨在增加国内和国际心理科学家机会的国际活动与美国科学界接触的工具，从而帮助创建多元化和全球化的美国科学劳动力，并使美国从全球科学和技术投资中受益。美国参与IUPsyS在国家科学基础设施中发挥了独特的作用。它为美国科学家和外国同事之间的对话提供了一个论坛，通过赞助有关感兴趣主题的会议和研讨会促进研究合作与协作，启动双边或区域研究合作的试点/示范项目，并为年轻科学家和来自美国代表性不足背景的科学家组织旅行资助计划参加国际科学大会。

The U.S. National Committee for Psychology (USNC) represents the U.S. psychological science community to the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) on behalf of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The USNC/IUPsyS provides a valuable network through which the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the NAS enhance their capacity to contribute to global research in the psychological sciences. It is also a vehicle through which the NAS can reach out to the U.S. scientific community through international activities that are designed to enhance opportunities for psychological scientists both nationally and internationally, thus helping to create a diverse and globally-oriented U.S. scientific workforce and to position the United States to benefit from global investment in science and technology. U.S participation in IUPsyS fulfills a unique role in the national science infrastructure. It provides a forum for dialogue between U.S. scientists and foreign colleagues, fosters research cooperation and collaboration by sponsoring conferences and workshops on topics of interest, initiates pilot/demonstration projects for bilateral or regional research collaborations, and organizes travel grant programs for young scientists and scientists from underrepresented backgrounds in the U.S. to participate in international scientific congresses.
