Group Travel Support for US Participants in the 31st International Congress of Psychology, July 22-27, 2016, Yokohama, Japan

该奖项允许美国心理学协会与美国国际心理科学联合会全国委员会合作，赞助美国科学家参加在日本横滨举行的国际心理学大会(ICP)。国际心理学大会是首屈一指的国际心理学科学大会，自1889年以来大约每4年举行一次。ICP吸引了6,000-10,000名心理学家，他们跨越了广泛的科学心理学领域，遍及全球。它提供了一个极好的场所，可以展示美国心理科学的工作，让美国心理科学家接触到世界各地正在讨论的前沿思想，培养跨学科研究和理论的更广泛的国际视角，并促进国际合作和交流。研究属于美国国家科学基金会行为和认知科学分部职权范围的早期职业科学家和研究生将优先获得赞助。该方案将包括指导和导师配对活动，以加强大会之前和期间以及在以后的后续活动中的能力建设方面。对年轻科学家的重视加强了这一学科，并促进了美国科学和科学家的发展。该项目由国家科学基金会社会、行为和经济科学委员会的行为和认知科学部门资助。

This award allows the American Psychological Association, in collaboration with the US National Committee for the International Union of Psychological Science, to sponsor U.S. scientists to attend the International Congress of Psychology (ICP) in Yokohama, Japan. The ICP is a premier international scientific congress in psychology, held approximately every 4 years since 1889. The ICP attracts 6,000-10,000 psychologists, spanning a wide range of scientific psychology and spanning the globe. It offers an excellent venue for showcasing the work of U.S. psychological science, for exposing U.S. psychological scientists to cutting edge ideas being discussed around the world, for fostering a broader international perspective on research and theory across the discipline, and for facilitating international collaboration and exchange. Early career scientists and graduate students whose research is within the purview of the Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences division of NSF will be given priority for sponsorship. The program will include mentoring and mentor-matching activities to strengthen the capacity building aspects before and during the congress and in later follow-up activities. The emphasis on young scientists strengthens the discipline and fosters the development of U.S. science and scientists.This project is funded by the Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences division of the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences directorate at the National Science Foundation.
