2018 APS Intersociety Meeting - Comparative Physiology: Complexity and Integration Travel Award Program, New Orleans, Louisiana, October 25-28, 2018

该奖项为本科生和研究生，博士后研究员和早期职业调查人员提供差旅费，特别是来自代表性不足群体的个人，他们在美国生理学会（APS）跨学会会议上展示研究成果，比较生理学：复杂性和整合，在新奥尔良，路易斯安那州，2018年10月25日至28日。会议将介绍在理解生物体（包括人类和其他动物）的综合生理学方面取得的重大进展。这次会议是比较生理学家报告他们最新研究发现并开展合作以激发科学创新的机会。会议的更广泛影响包括：生物生理学知识的重大进步;来自代表性不足群体的个人更多地参与比较生理学研究;发展全球多样化和更具协作性的研究队伍。复杂性和整合，旨在促进思想交流和发展的比较和进化生理学家的国际未来合作，并鼓励受训人员、早期职业调查人员和来自代表性不足群体的个人从事这一学科的研究事业。会议包括全体讲座，研讨会，贡献口头和海报介绍，以及职业发展和技术/教育进步的研讨会。为了实现上述会议目标，APS将管理一个旅行补助计划，为学员（本科生/研究生和博士后研究员）和早期职业研究人员提供旅行奖励，特别是来自代表性不足的群体（妇女，种族/少数民族和残疾人）的个人，他们提交摘要将在会议上提交。该奖项产生的旅行奖励将针对在NSF综合有机系统部门支持的研究领域工作的个人。该项目将有助于扩大青年科学家的参与，重点是代表性不足的群体的成员，使他们接触到尖端的生理研究，并提供专业发展和网络的独特机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This award funds travel expenses for undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career investigators, in particular individuals from underrepresented groups, who present research results at the American Physiological Society (APS) Intersociety Meeting, Comparative Physiology: Complexity and Integration, in New Orleans, Louisiana, October 25-28, 2018. The meeting will be a venue for the presentation of significant advances in understanding the integrative physiology of organisms, including humans and other animals. This meeting is an opportunity for comparative physiologists to report their newest research discoveries and to develop collaborations that spark scientific innovation. Broader impacts of the meeting include: significant advancement of knowledge about organismal physiology; greater participation of individuals from underrepresented groups in comparative physiology research; development of a globally diverse and more collaborative research workforce.The 2018 APS Intersociety Meeting, Comparative Physiology: Complexity and Integration, seeks to promote the exchange of ideas and development of future collaborations of comparative and evolutionary physiologists internationally, and to encourage trainees, early career investigators, and individuals from underrepresented groups to pursue research careers in this discipline. The conference includes plenary lectures, symposia, contributed oral and poster presentations, and workshops on career development and technological/educational advances. In order to achieve the conference objectives above, APS will administer a travel grant program offering travel awards to trainees (undergraduate/graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) and early career investigators, in particular individuals from underrepresented groups (women, racial/ethnic minorities, and disabled persons), who submit abstracts to be presented at the meeting. Travel awards resulting from this award will be directed to individuals working in the research areas supported by the NSF Division of Integrative Organismal Systems. The project will contribute to broadening the participation of young scientists, with an emphasis on members of under-represented groups, exposing them to cutting edge physiological research and providing unique opportunities for professional development and networking.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
