TRAVEL: Broadening Participation of Deaf Students in Sign Language Research: September 2019: Hamburg, Germany

聋人研究人员在手语研究中的代表性不足。该项目的目的是扩大聋人对手语研究学科的参与。来自国家科学基金会的资金将用于将来自美国的聋人大学生带到2019年夏季将在德国汉堡举办的手语研究理论问题(TISLR)会议，并在参加会议期间为这些学生提供美国手语翻译服务。TISLR是关于手语研究的最重要和最多人参加的国际会议。在会议之前，学生们将与导师团队一起讨论他们的研究兴趣，并为会议上的陈述做准备。导师还将在会议期间和会议结束后与学生见面，帮助他们规划研究生涯。学生将在TISLR开发的知识、资源和网络将使他们更好地为从事手语研究的职业生涯做好准备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Deaf researchers are underrepresented in sign language research. The aim of this project is to broaden the participation of deaf individuals in disciplines that conduct sign language research. Funding from the National Science Foundation will be used to bring deaf college students from the U.S.A. to the Theoretical Issues in Sign Language Research (TISLR) conference, which will be hosted in Hamburg, Germany, during the summer of 2019, and to provide American Sign Language interpreting services for these students while attending the conference. TISLR is the most significant and well-attended international conference on sign language research. The students will work with a team of mentors prior to the conference to discuss their research interests and to prepare for presentations at the conference. The mentors will also meet with the students during and after the conference to help them plan their research careers. The knowledge, resources, and networks the students will develop at TISLR will make them better equipped to pursue careers in sign language research.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.
