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国际心理科学联合会美国国家委员会合作，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）。ICP是心理学领域首屈一指的国际科学大会，自1889年以来大约每4年举办一次。国际心理学方案吸引了6，000至10，000名心理学家，他们横跨地球仪的科学心理学领域。它为展示美国心理科学的工作提供了一个很好的场所，使美国心理科学家接触到世界各地正在讨论的前沿思想，促进跨学科研究和理论的更广泛的国际视野，并促进国际合作和交流。早期职业科学家和研究生的研究范围内的行为和认知科学部门的NSF将优先赞助。该方案将包括指导和导师配对活动，以加强大会之前和大会期间以及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，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、行为和经济科学理事会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.
