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

该奖项资助本科生和研究生、博士后和早期职业研究者的差旅费，特别是来自代表性不足群体的个人，他们将在2018年10月25日至28日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行的美国生理学会（APS）跨社会会议“比较生理学：复杂性和整合”上展示研究成果。会议将展示在理解生物体（包括人类和其他动物）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和发展合作以激发科学创新的机会。会议更广泛的影响包括：生物生理学知识的重大进步；来自代表性不足群体的个体更多地参与比较生理学研究；发展一支全球多样化和更具协作性的研究队伍。2018年APS跨社会会议，比较生理学：复杂性和整合，旨在促进国际比较和进化生理学家的思想交流和未来合作的发展，并鼓励学员，早期职业研究者和来自代表性不足群体的个人在这一学科中追求研究事业。会议包括全体会议演讲、专题讨论会、口头和海报介绍以及关于职业发展和技术/教育进步的讲习班。为了实现上述会议目标，APS将管理一项旅行资助计划，为学员（本科生/研究生和博士后）和早期职业研究者提供旅行奖励，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，他们提交的摘要将在会议上展示。由该奖项产生的旅行奖将直接颁发给在美国国家科学基金会综合有机体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年轻科学家的参与，重点关注代表性不足的群体的成员，使他们接触前沿的生理学研究，并为专业发展和建立网络提供独特的机会。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
