International Mind, Brain and Education Society Conference 2018

授予南加州大学的这一奖项将为2018年9月在洛杉矶举行的国际、心灵、大脑和教育学会（IMBES）会议提供部分支持。对于对教育神经科学感兴趣的广泛的研究人员和教育工作者来说，这是一个与其他社区接触的独特机会，为研究人员提供了学习为其他研究人员和实践者翻译他们的工作的细微差别的机会，并为教育实践者推进他们对大脑和行为交叉前沿研究的理解。该奖项将特别支持旨在促进学生和年轻职业科学家的职业生涯并帮助他们降低参与成本的会议。该提案由EHR核心研究（ECR）计划资助，该计划支持推进STEM学习研究文献的基础研究。会议的重点将是：(1)神经科学在理解大脑发育变异性方面的进展；(2)文化体验和社会经济地位对神经、认知和教育的影响；(3)数字媒体使用对大脑和认知发展的优势和劣势，特别强调数学和其他类型的STEM学习障碍。尤其是STEM学习。会议将汇集来自不同学科和背景的实践者、管理者、决策者和研究人员。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 to the University of Southern California will provide partial support for the International, Mind, Brain, and Education Society (IMBES) conference to be held in Los Angeles in September 2018. It is a unique opportunity for a broad range of researchers and educators with interest in educational neuroscience to engage with other communities, affording researchers the opportunity to learn nuances of translating their work for other researchers and practitioners, and for educational practitioners to advance their understandings of cutting edge research at the intersection of brain and behavior. The award will particularly support sessions that aim to foster the careers of students and young career scientists and help allay the costs of their participation. The proposal is funded by the EHR Core Research (ECR) program, which supports fundamental research that advances the research literature on STEM learning.The foci of the conference will be: (1) neuroscientific advances in understanding variability in brain development; (2) neural, cognitive and educational ramifications of cultural experiences and socio-economic status; and (3) strengths and liabilities of digital media use for brain and cognitive development, with a special emphasis on math and other kinds of STEM learning disabilities. especially for STEM learning. The conference will together practitioners, administrators, policy-makers, and researchers from a range of different disciplines and backgrounds.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.
