This award will foster greater and a more diverse participation by U.S. cartographers in the global forum of the International Cartographic Association, which will be in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in August 2015. NSF support will facilitate the participation of nearly 20 early-career cartographers from the U.S. As has been demonstrated in follow-up reports from Americans who have been supported with previous travel grants to other major international meetings, such forums offer numerous opportunities for meeting professional colleagues from many other nations, for hearing ideas and information from a broad range of different perspectives, and for participating in discussions that frequently result in successful research collaborations.In cartography as in many other scientific fields, advances in research and education increasingly rely on the development of international collaborations that bring together skilled scholars and educators from many different nations. International contacts and collaborations develop through many different means, but one of the most successful has been the biennial meetings of the International Cartographic Association (ICA). The ICA has been the primary international forum for cartographic research since 1959, and it currently involves over 80 countries. Early-career scholars seeking travel support will be expected to submit their papers for publication in the conference proceedings and will be presenting papers at the conference. In addition to making presentations, American participants at the ICC are encouraged to become involved in the work of ICA commissions and working groups, thereby furthering their potential to build contact networks and be exposed to new ideas on the cutting edge of contemporary cartography and geographic information science.

该奖项将促进美国制图师更多、更多样化地参与国际制图协会全球论坛，该论坛将于2015年8月在巴西里约热内卢举行。 NSF的支持将促进近20名来自美国的早期职业制图师的参与。正如之前获得其他主要国际会议旅费赠款的美国人的后续报告所示，此类论坛为会见来自许多其他国家的专业同事提供了许多机会，从广泛的不同角度听取想法和信息，在制图学和许多其他科学领域，研究和教育的进步越来越依赖于国际合作的发展，这种合作将来自许多不同国家的熟练学者和教育工作者聚集在一起。国际接触和合作通过许多不同的方式发展，但最成功的方式之一是国际制图协会（伊卡）两年一次的会议。伊卡自1959年以来一直是制图研究的主要国际论坛，目前有80多个国家参加。 寻求旅行支持的早期职业学者将有望提交他们的论文在会议记录中发表，并将在会议上提交论文。 除了介绍情况外，还鼓励国际制图委员会的美国与会者参与伊卡委员会和工作组的工作，从而进一步发挥潜力，建立联系网络，接触当代制图和地理信息科学前沿的新思想。
