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.

这是为了支持已完成论文提案的大约12名美国博士生（估计总计21名参与者）的资金。与杰出的教师导师一起，在博士学位座谈会（讲习班）上，与将于2017年3月22日至25日在中国武汉举行的第十二个偶像合作举行，这将是亚洲的第一个偶像。 自2005年以来，偶像提供了一个论坛，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，分享对当代社会中关键信息问题的见解。 对信息科学的新思想和研究领域的开放性是这些事件的主要特征，这些事件成功地将否则可能很少彼此互动的人汇集在一起​​，从而有助于促进跨学科的研究。 最近的偶像吸引了大约500名与会者，这证明了参与者对启发性的社区意识，高质量的研究演示和无数订婚机会的感谢。伊卡库斯（Icaucus）提出了象征意义，现在是美国和国外的77所信息学校的财团，致力于推进信息领域并为学生做好准备应对21世纪的信息挑战。 今年的主题是“效果，扩展，进化：整个信息社区的全球协作”；更多信息可以在http://ischools.org/the-iconference上在线找到。 传统上，Iconference博士学位会将下一代跨学科研究人员的最佳发展汇集在一起​​，重点是社会环境中信息和技术的相互作用，使他们能够在自己之间以及与高级研究人员之间建立网络。从广泛的相关学科中鼓励参与，从而扩大了与会者对学习主题的看法，并促进了该领域的发展。 2017年活动的组织者将积极努力沿着诸如机构类型，研究主题，方法论方法，纪律传统，性别，种族以及民族或文化背景等关键方面的多样性最大化，以使学生的视野在其专业发展的关键阶段扩大。 根据过去的经验，组织者预计21名被接受的学生中的大多数将是女性，但至少将确保其中至少10个是女性。 此外，任何一所大学都将接受不超过4名学生。博士学位将紧密整合到会议经验中，首先要在技术课程期间强调特定内容，并在整天集中在同行研究的批评和职业发展上，这将在3月25日开展培训的培训计划中与同行研究的批评和职业发展相关，并将在3月25日的培训中重叠。信息科学研究人员。为此，它将为学生参与者提供一个环境，在该环境中，他们可以共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他们的工作反馈，这应该使他们能够增强他们的研究。 学生参与者将更好地了解参与信息科学研究的各个研究社区，并学习如何将其工作定位在该领域。 此外，座谈会将为学生提供诸如海报会议之类的机会，以建立自己的学科和机构以外的新专业联系，这也将帮助他们成功地启动自己的职业，无论是在行业还是学术界。
