This is funding to partially support participation by the PI and 5 U.S.-based doctoral students 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 thirteenth iConference that will take place March 25-28, 2018, on the campus of University of Sheffield, UK. This will be the first time the iConference is held in England, and only the second time in Europe. 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 78 Information Schools in the United States and abroad (along with 8 associate members) dedicated to advancing the information field and preparing students to meet the information challenges of the 21st Century. This year's theme is "Transforming Digital Worlds"; 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. Due to timing constraints, the student participants in the 2018 event have already been selected. The organizers worked proactively 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. Of the 18 students accepted in total, 7 are women; 6 are studying in the UK, 5 in the US, 3 in Canada and 1 each in Germany, Israel, Nigeria and South Africa (2 of the UK-based students are originally from African countries).The 2018 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 28. 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.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.

这是为了支持PI的部分资金和5位美国的博士生参与，他们完成了论文建议以及杰出的教师导师，在博士学位座谈会（讲习班）上，与2018年3月25日至28日，将于2018年3月25日至28日，在2018年3月25日至28日在Campus of She Campus of Sheerfield举行的信息科学研究。 这将是偶像第一次在英国举行，也是欧洲第二次。 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。 ICAUCUS提出了这些偶像，现在是美国和国外的78家信息学校（以及88个同学）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“改变数字世界”；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。 由于定时限制，已经选择了2018年活动的学生参与者。 组织者积极努力，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。 在总共接受的18名学生中，有7名是女性； 6 are studying in the UK, 5 in the US, 3 in Canada and 1 each in Germany, Israel, Nigeria and South Africa (2 of the UK-based students are originally from African countries).The 2018 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立即遵循3月28日的会议技术计划的结束会议。博士学位的主要目标是帮助培训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，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，以建立新的专业联系，超越自己的学科和机构，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。这奖奖都反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用该基金会的知识优点和广泛影响来评估，这是NSF的法定任务，并被视为值得的支持。
