This is funding to support participation by approximately 12 U.S.-based doctoral students (out of an estimated 21 total participants) who have completed their dissertation proposals. along with distinguished faculty mentors, in a doctoral colloquium (workshop) on information science research to be held in conjunction with the twelfth iConference that will take place March 22-25, 2017, in Wuhan, China, and which will be the first iConference in Asia. 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, which have been successful in bringing together people who otherwise might rarely interact with one another, thereby helping to promote interdisciplinary research. Recent iConferences have drawn approximately 500 attendees, 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 iCaucus, now a consortium of 77 Information Schools in the United States and abroad dedicated to advancing the information field and preparing students to meet the information challenges of the 21st Century. This year's theme is "Effect, Expand, Evolve: Global collaboration across the Information Community"; 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 of the 2017 event will proactively work to maximize diversity along such key dimensions as institution type, research topic, methodological approach, disciplinary tradition, gender, ethnicity, and national or cultural background, so that the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development. Based on past experience, the organizers expect a majority of the 21 accepted students will be women, but at a minimum will ensure that at least 10 of them are. 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 which will overlap with and immediately follow the closing session of the conference technical program on March 25. 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 in order to gain feedback on their work both from the mentors and from other students, which should allow them to enhance their research. The student participants will come away with a better understanding of the various research communities engaged in the study of information science, and learn how to position their work within the field. 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 it will also help them successfully launch their careers whether in industry or academia.

这笔资金将支持大约12个美国-基于博士生（估计21名参与者）谁已经完成了他们的论文提案。沿着与杰出的教师导师，在一个关于信息科学研究的博士座谈会（研讨会）将与第十二届iConference将于2017年3月22日至25日在中国武汉举行，这将是亚洲的第一次iConference。 自2005年以来，iConferences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研究领域的开放是这些活动的主要特点，这些活动成功地将可能很少相互交流的人聚集在一起，从而有助于促进跨学科研究。 最近的iConferences吸引了大约500名与会者，这证明了与会者对鼓舞人心的社区意识、高质量的研究演示和无数参与机会的赞赏。iConferences由iCaucus提出，iCaucus现在是美国和国外77所信息学校的联盟，致力于推进信息领域，并为学生应对21世纪世纪的信息挑战做好准备。 今年的主题是“影响、扩展、发展：信息界的全球合作”;更多信息可在http://ischools.org/the-iconference网站上找到。 iConference博士座谈会传统上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，使他们能够在自己和高级研究人员之间建立网络。鼓励广泛的相关学科参与，从而扩大与会者对研究课题的看法，促进该领域的进步。 2017年活动的组织者将积极努力，以最大限度地发挥多样性沿着这样的关键方面，如机构类型，研究课题，方法论方法，学科传统，性别，种族，民族或文化背景，使学生的视野在他们的专业发展的关键阶段拓宽。 根据过去的经验，组织者预计21名被录取的学生中的大多数将是女性，但至少将确保其中至少有10名是女性。 此外，任何一所大学将接受不超过4名学生。博士研讨会将紧密结合到会议体验中，首先是在技术课程期间突出特定内容的定向活动，并在一整天集中在同行研究评论和职业发展，这将重叠，并立即在3月25日会议技术计划的闭幕会议结束后达到高潮。 博士学术讨论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，使他们能够分享和讨论他们的目标，方法和结果，以便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。 学生参与者将更好地了解从事信息科学研究的各种研究团体，并学习如何在该领域内定位他们的工作。 此外，座谈会将为学生提供机会，如海报会议，使新的专业联系超出自己的学科和机构，它也将帮助他们成功地启动自己的职业生涯，无论是在工业界还是学术界。
