This is funding to partially support participation by approximately 23 U.S.-based students (out of an estimated 28 total participants), along with distinguished faculty mentors, in a doctoral colloquium (workshop) on information science research to be held in conjunction with the 14th iConference that will take place March 31-April 3, 2019, in Washington DC, and which will jointly be hosted by the Information School at the University of Maryland, by Syracuse University, and by the University of Maryland Baltimore County. 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 close to 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 87 schools within the United States and abroad (plus 10 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 "inform | include | inspire". 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.The 2019 Doctoral Colloquium will be tightly integrated into the conference experience, starting with a full-day event on Sunday March 31, the first day of the iConference. 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 they will learn how to position their work within the field. At the end of the day, a closing plenary session will provide an opportunity for the faculty mentors to discuss various professional issues, such as the job market, getting grants to support research, negotiating work-life balance, and developing one's research program post-Ph.D. Thus, the colloquium will provide students with the chance 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.

这笔资金将部分支持大约23名美国人的参与。基础学生（估计共有28名参与者），沿着与杰出的教师导师，在一个博士研讨会信息科学研究（研讨会）将与2019年3月31日至4月3日在华盛顿举行的第14届iConference一起举行，并将由马里兰州大学信息学院，锡拉丘兹大学，以及马里兰州巴尔的摩县大学。 自2005年以来，iConferences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，分享对当代社会关键信息问题的见解。 对信息科学新思想和研究领域的开放是这些活动的主要特点，这些活动成功地将可能很少相互交流的人聚集在一起，从而有助于促进跨学科研究。 最近的iConferences吸引了近500名与会者，这证明了与会者对鼓舞人心的社区意识，高质量的研究报告和无数参与机会的赞赏。iConferences由iCaucus提出，iCaucus现在是美国和国外87所学校的联盟（加上10个准成员），致力于推进信息领域，并为学生做好准备，以迎接21世纪的信息挑战。 今年的主题是“告知|包括|启发”。 iConference博士座谈会传统上汇集了下一代最优秀的跨学科研究人员，他们专注于信息和技术在社会背景下的相互作用，使他们能够在自己和高级研究人员之间建立网络。鼓励来自广泛的相关学科的参与，从而扩大与会者对他们的研究课题的观点，并促进该领域的进步。2019年博士学术讨论会将紧密结合到会议体验中，从3月31日星期日的全天活动开始，iConference的第一天。 博士学术讨论会的主要目标是帮助培养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，使他们能够分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关于他们工作的反馈，这将使他们能够加强他们的研究。 学生参与者将更好地了解从事信息科学研究的各种研究团体，并将学习如何在该领域内定位他们的工作。 在一天结束时，闭幕全体会议将提供一个机会，为教师导师讨论各种专业问题，如就业市场，获得赠款，以支持研究，谈判工作与生活的平衡，并制定一个人的研究计划后博士。 因此，本次学术讨论会将为学生提供超越自身学科和机构的新的专业联系的机会，也将帮助他们成功地在工业或学术界开展自己的职业生涯。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响力审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
