Support for Research Team Seminars in Anthropology

虽然数字通信是团队研究的一个关键组成部分，但对协作科学实践的研究也表明，成功推进研究需要面对面的互动，当研究人员位于美国各地和其他国家时，这可能具有挑战性。NSF/SAR（高级研究学院）研究团队研讨会有利于人类学领域，为面对面的跨学科合作研究提供了重要的机会，因为缺乏资源，无法将忙碌的学者聚集在一起，延长时间，免除日常的专业责任。支持美国和国际学者的现有和新的研究团队与人集中，不间断的时间来讨论，综合和分析他们的合作研究成果，该项目将导致成功完成，扩展和开发新项目的计划，这将有利于和丰富人类学领域。该项目还将通过合作和增加对人类社会和文化多样性的原因、后果和复杂性的理解来支持NSF建设科学基础设施的目标。该项目旨在通过一个学者亲自团队推进人类学的合作、跨学科和国际研究。该项目还增加了发现和理解，以及这种研究框架产生的产品的质量和重要性。在NSF的资助下，位于新墨西哥州圣达菲的人类学和相关学科的高级研究中心高级研究学院（SAR）将在文化人类学，生物人类学和考古学方面开展为期三年的研究团队研讨会。合格的研究团队将主要关注一个具有人类学重要性的问题，这是及时的，并解决了具体的需求。研讨会将由特区工作人员和外部学者组成的专家小组通过年度竞争选出。对于每个研讨会，NSF的资金将支付国内和国际旅行，住宿，膳食和其他相关费用，最多10名与会者（6名美国和4名国际学者）在SAR研讨会大楼举行为期三天的会议。资金还将支持SAR工作人员的一部分工资，以管理项目和研究团队机会的广告。研究小组研讨会的组织者预计将提前制定会议时间表，并在研讨会结束后向SAR提供一份报告，介绍活动和成果，包括新研究的计划，在同行评审的期刊上发表文章和编辑的卷，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

Although digital communication is a key component of team research, studies on the practice of collaborative science also demonstrate that face-to-face interaction is needed to successfully advance research, which can be challenging to achieve when investigators are located throughout the United States and in other countries. NSF/SAR (School for Advanced Research) research team seminars benefit the field of anthropology by providing important opportunities for in-person collaborative interdisciplinary research, given the lack of resources to bring busy scholars together for an extended time that is free of everyday professional responsibilities. Supporting both existing and new research teams of U.S. and international scholars with in-person focused, uninterrupted time to discuss, synthesize, and analyze results of their collaborative research, this project will result in plans for successful completion, expansion, and development of new projects that will benefit and enrich the field of anthropology. This project will also support the NSF's goals of building scientific infrastructure through collaboration and increasing understanding of the causes, consequences, and complexities of human social and cultural variability.This project addresses the advancement of collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international research in anthropology by an in-person team of scholars. The project also increases discovery and understanding, as well as the quality and importance of the products resulting from this type of research framework. With NSF funding, the School for Advanced Research (SAR), an advanced research center for anthropology and allied disciplines located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, will implement three years of research team seminars in cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology. Eligible research teams will have a primary focus on a question of anthropological importance that is timely and addresses a specific need. Seminars will be selected by an expert panel of SAR staff and external scholars through an annual competition. For each seminar, NSF funding will cover domestic and international travel, lodging, meals, and other related costs for up to 10 participants (6 U.S. and 4 international scholars) to meet in the SAR Seminar House for three days. Funding will also support a portion of SAR staff salaries to administer the project and advertising of the research team opportunity. Organizers of the research team seminars are expected to develop a meeting schedule in advance and provide SAR with a report after the seminar concludes that describes activities and results, including plans for new research, publications in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, and conference presentations.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.
