Research and Development Support for Early Career Cartographers and Geospatial Scientists:Tokyo, Japan - July 2019

该奖项将支持制图和地理信息科学（GIScience）领域的早期职业研究人员参加第29届国际制图会议（ICC）。该项目的目标是目前正在完成研究生学位的早期职业学者的专业发展，或处于学术，职业生涯的早期阶段。ICC提供了一个涵盖制图研究各个方面的科学场所，是年轻学者展示其研究成果并与国际科学家面对面交谈的理想场所。参加过以前ICC的年轻学者在制图和GIScience方面展示了富有成效的研究计划，他们的科学出版物和成功获得资金支持他们的研究就是证明。这种对学生和早期职业学者的支持的长期影响是研究创新和合作，促进美国地图学和GIScience研究的未来领导者。参加国际制图会议将导致全球相关的尖端研究的发展，并将使美国学者在这些努力中发挥带头作用。这些年轻学者与国际社会合作，制定新的研究议程，将关键的科学和社会挑战结合起来，并通过讲习班，研讨会和同行评审的出版物积极传播制图学的技术和方法进步。这些年轻的学者受益于接触来自国际制图界的想法，但也分享了美国在制图和地理信息系统科学这一高度优先研究领域的经验。这些成就反过来又导致了创造性和生产力的劳动力的发展，在制图和地理信息科学方面进行创新研究，为国家在空间信息基础设施方面的利益服务。虽然这次会议是在日本东京举行的，但这次活动将为包括美国在内的世界各地的制图研究提供新的见解和方法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

This award will support travel for early career researchers in the field of cartography and Geographic Information Science (GIScience) to attend the 29th International Cartographic Conference (ICC). This project targets the professional development of early career scholars that are currently completing a graduate degree, or are in the early stages of their academic, professional career. The ICC provides a scientific venue that covers all aspects of cartographic research, a venue that is ideal for young scholars to present their research and to talk face-to-face with an international community of scientists. Young scholars who have attended previous ICCs have demonstrated productive research programs in cartography and GIScience, as evidenced by their scientific publications and success securing funding to support their research. The long-term impact of this support for students and early career scholars is research innovation and collaboration that promotes future leaders in research in cartography and GIScience in the United States. Participation in the International Cartographic Conference will lead to the development of globally relevant cutting-edge research and will enable U.S. scholars to take a lead in these endeavors. These young scholars develop new research agendas that couple key scientific and societal challenges in collaboration with the international community, and actively disseminate technical and methodological advances in cartography through workshops, seminars, and peer-reviewed publications. These young scholars benefit from exposure to ideas from the international cartographic community, but also share the American experience in this high priority research area for cartography and GIScience. These accomplishments in turn result in the development of a creative and productive workforce conducing innovative research in cartography and geographic information science that serve the Nation's interests regarding spatial information infrastructure. Although the conference is being held in Tokyo, Japan, the event will provide new insights and approaches to cartographic research throughout the world, including the United States.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.
