Fishes, with over 33,000 known species, are a primary global food source and serve as indicators of environmental quality. The Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society (AFS) is hosting the 13th International Congress on the Biology of Fish in Calgary, Canada, in July 2018. This award provides financial assistance for undergraduate and graduate students traveling to the 2018 Congress. The AFS Congress will be attended by high caliber fish biologists from over 30 countries who will present in 18 symposia on topics ranging from basic science (e.g., shark physiology) to applied science (e.g., sewage impacts on fish), and serves as an incubator for collaboration and idea exchange. Of greater importance is the opportunity the Congress provides to over 150 student and post-doctoral researchers who will present their work and interact with a large and diverse group of fish biology researchers. Congress organizers aim to continue to foster success of young scientists from groups under-represented in STEM and Fish Physiology. Students who receive travel support from this award will be selected based on the scientific quality of their abstract, the relevance of their subject matter to the symposia, and financial need. The Congress more broadly promotes development of a strong scientific infrastructure, by incorporating professional development activities for a diverse group of junior scientists. In addition to research presentations, the travel grant recipients will be able to attend student-oriented support sessions held throughout the Congress, including specific mentoring and career events, and socials aimed at helping students develop professional networks. The Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society has hosted the biennial International Congress on the Biology of Fish since 1994, and is hosting the 13th International Congress on the Biology of Fish in Calgary, Canada, on July 15-19, 2018. This award provides financial travel assistance to undergraduate and graduate students who participate in the Congress, based on the quality of their research and financial need. The Congress is the premiere venue for fish physiology researchers and represents an opportunity for the fish physiology community to learn about cutting-edge research throughout the world. The 2018 Congress is organized into 18 Symposia, hosted by subject matter experts, covering a wide array of topics and levels of biological organization from the molecular to the ecosystem. The Congress historically includes a strong student contingent whose members consistently deliver excellent presentations. Additionally, the ethnically and culturally diverse collection of fish biologists at the Congress affords students an excellent opportunity to interact with subject matter experts and to identify potential career mentors, which is of great importance for early career scientists, especially those from under-represented groups. The Congress includes student-targeted events for mentoring and career events focused on helping foster the future success of students as they move into the next phase of their careers. Free Congress proceedings will be available on the AFS Physiology Section website.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.

鱼类有33，000多个已知物种，是全球的主要食物来源，也是环境质量的指标。美国渔业协会（AFS）生理学分会将于2018年7月在加拿大卡尔加里举办第13届国际鱼类生物学大会。该奖项为前往2018年国会的本科生和研究生提供经济援助。AFS大会将由来自30多个国家的高素质鱼类生物学家参加，他们将参加18个专题讨论会，主题包括基础科学（例如，鲨鱼生理学）到应用科学（例如，污水对鱼类的影响），并作为合作和思想交流的孵化器。更重要的是，大会为150多名学生和博士后研究人员提供了机会，他们将展示自己的工作，并与大量不同的鱼类生物学研究人员进行互动。大会组织者的目标是继续促进来自STEM和鱼类生理学代表性不足的群体的年轻科学家的成功。谁从这个奖项获得旅行支持的学生将根据他们的摘要的科学质量，他们的主题与专题讨论会的相关性，以及经济需求进行选择。大会更广泛地促进发展一个强大的科学基础设施，纳入专业发展活动，为不同群体的年轻科学家。除了研究报告外，旅费补助金获得者还将能够参加在整个大会期间举行的以学生为导向的支持会议，包括具体的指导和职业活动，以及旨在帮助学生发展专业网络的社交活动。自1994年以来，美国渔业协会的生理学部分主办了两年一度的鱼类生物学国际大会，并于2018年7月15日至19日在加拿大卡尔加里举办了第13届鱼类生物学国际大会。该奖项提供财政旅行援助谁参加大会的本科生和研究生，根据他们的研究质量和财政需求。大会是鱼类生理学研究人员的首要场所，也是鱼类生理学界了解世界各地尖端研究的机会。2018年大会分为18个专题讨论会，由主题专家主持，涵盖了从分子到生态系统的广泛主题和生物组织水平。大会历史上包括一个强大的学生队伍，其成员一贯提供优秀的演讲。此外，在国会鱼类生物学家的种族和文化多样性集合为学生提供了一个很好的机会，与主题专家互动，并确定潜在的职业导师，这是非常重要的早期职业科学家，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体。大会包括针对学生的辅导活动和职业活动，重点是帮助培养学生未来的成功，因为他们进入职业生涯的下一个阶段。该奖项反映了NSF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。
