This award supports on-site lodging, subsistence, and operational expenses for a diverse group of U.S. doctoral students and distinguished faculty mentors to participate in a doctoral colloquium (workshop) on information science research. It will be co-located with the 2015 iConference hosted by the University of California-Irvine and held in Newport Beach, California on March 24-27, 2015. The iConferences, the annual meetings of the iSchool community, are a leading forum that brings together faculty, students, research staff, and industry practitioners 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 promote their interdisciplinary research. More information about the iConference may be found online at http://ischools.org/the-iconference/.The 2015 iConference Doctoral Colloquium will be a meeting of 27 selected Ph.D. candidates studying all aspects of information science, along with approximately 9 distinguished faculty mentors. Colloquium activities will be woven throughout the conference, starting with an orientation on March 25th and culminating in an all-day event on 27th. The core of the event will be mentor-led, peer-critique sessions of dissertation research projects held in small four-person teams. 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 community. In addition, the colloquium will provide students with opportunities to make new professional connections beyond their own disciplines and institutions. Broader Impacts: The iConference doctoral colloquia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of researchers in information science, allowing them to develop 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, thereby expanding attendees' perspectives on their topics of study and promoting advancement of the field. The organizers will proactively work to maximize diversity along such key dimensions as institution type, research topics, methodological approaches, disciplinary traditions, gender, ethnicity, and national or cultural backgrounds.

该奖项为参加信息科学研究博士研讨会（研讨会）的美国博士生和杰出的教师导师提供现场住宿，生活和运营费用。它将与2015年3月24日至27日在加州纽波特海滩举行的由加州大学欧文分校主办的2015年iconconference同地举行。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，并帮助促进了他们的跨学科研究。关于iconconference的更多信息可以在http://ischools.org/the-iconference/.The上找到2015年iconconference博士讨论会将是27名选定的博士候选人的会议，他们研究信息科学的各个方面，以及大约9名杰出的教师导师。研讨会活动将贯穿整个会议，从3月25日的介绍会开始，到27日的全天活动结束。活动的核心将是导师领导的论文研究项目的同行评议会议，以四人小组的形式举行。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群体，并学习如何在群体中定位他们的工作。此外，研讨会将为学生提供机会，在自己的学科和机构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。鼓励来自相关学科的广泛参与，从而扩大与会者对其研究主题的看法，促进该领域的进步。组织者将积极努力，在机构类型、研究主题、方法方法、学科传统、性别、种族、国家或文化背景等关键方面最大限度地提高多样性。
