This is funding to support participation by approximately 22 promising U.S. doctoral students along with distinguished faculty mentors in a doctoral colloquium (workshop) on information science research, which will be held in conjunction with the 2016 iConference to be hosted by Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, on March 20-23. Since 2005, the iConferences have provided a forum where information scholars, researchers and professionals from around the world gather to share insights on critical information issues in contemporary society. An openness to new ideas and research fields in information science is a primary characteristics of these events. Attendance has grown every year, a testament to participants' appreciation for the inspiring sense of community, high quality research presentations, and myriad opportunities for engagement. The iConferences are presented by the iSchools, a worldwide association of Information Schools dedicated to advancing the information field, and preparing students to meet the information challenges of the 21st Century. 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 thereby helping to promote interdisciplinary research. This year's theme of "Partnership with Society" will examine the dynamic, evolving role of information science and the iSchool movement, and the benefits to society. More information may be found online at http://ischools.org/the-iconference/. The iConference doctoral colloquia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers focused on the interplay of information and technology in a social context, allowing them to develop a network both among themselves and with senior researchers. 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, so that the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development. The event organizers are committed to drawing a diverse group of students. They expect a majority of the accepted students will be women, but at a minimum will ensure that at least 10 of the 22 students are women, and that furthermore no more than 4 students will be accepted from any single university.The Doctoral Colloquium will be tightly integrated into the conference experience, starting with an orientation event, highlighting specific content during the technical program, and culminating in a full day focused on peer-research critique and career development. 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 such as poster sessions) to make new professional connections beyond their own disciplines and institutions, and will also help them successfully launch their careers whether in industry or academia.

这笔资金将支持大约22名有前途的美国博士生与杰出的教师导师一起参加一个关于信息科学研究的博士研讨会（研讨会），该研讨会将于3月20日至23日在宾夕法尼亚州费城的德雷克塞尔大学主办的2016年iconconference上举行。自2005年以来，iconconferences提供了一个论坛，来自世界各地的信息学者、研究人员和专业人士聚集在一起，分享对当代社会关键信息问题的见解。对信息科学新思想和新研究领域的开放是这些事件的主要特征。出席人数每年都在增长，这证明了参与者对鼓舞人心的社区意识、高质量的研究报告和无数参与机会的赞赏。iSchools是一个全球性的信息学校协会，致力于推动信息领域的发展，帮助学生准备好迎接21世纪的信息挑战。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，把本来很少相互交往的人聚集在一起，从而有助于促进跨学科研究。今年的主题是“与社会合作”，将探讨信息科学和信息学校运动的动态和不断发展的作用，以及对社会的好处。更多信息可在http://ischools.org/the-iconference/网站上找到。传统上，iconconference博士座谈会汇集了下一代最优秀的跨学科研究人员，他们专注于信息和技术在社会背景下的相互作用，使他们能够在自己之间和与高级研究人员建立一个网络。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、研究课题、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，以便在学生专业发展的关键阶段拓宽他们的视野。活动组织者致力于吸引不同群体的学生。他们希望大多数被录取的学生将是女性，但至少要确保22名学生中至少有10名是女性，而且任何一所大学录取的学生不得超过4名。博士讨论会将与会议体验紧密结合，从一个定向活动开始，在技术项目中突出具体内容，最后以一整天的时间专注于同行研究评论和职业发展。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（如海报会议），使他们在自己的学科和机构之外建立新的专业联系，也将帮助他们成功地开始他们的职业生涯，无论是在工业界还是学术界。
