The Cognitive Development Society (CDS) was founded in 1999 with the goal of providing an intellectual gathering point for researchers who focus on the development of cognitive abilities. CDS members are united by a common focus on the developmental origins of perceiving, thinking and learning, and they are also united in the enterprise of bringing varied perspectives and approaches to bear on understanding these processes. Their research addresses developmental time points across the lifespan, and focuses on multi-level biological, behavioral, social and cultural processes shaping the development of cognitive abilities. Because bringing together diverse perspectives and approaches is fundamental to making progress in scientific understanding, CDS has sought to increase diversity in its membership. The CDS seeks to promote the attendance, at its 2019 meeting, of junior scholars (e.g., graduate students, post-docs) from groups traditionally underrepresented in the developmental sciences. At the conference, these scholars will present their research and participate in a mentoring program which involves pairing them with senior researchers in the field. The present award will increase the diversity of the CDS membership through several mechanisms. The first of these involves providing travel awards for junior scholars from underrepresented groups. The second involves continuing the society's mentoring program in which young scholars are paired with an established researcher. Through an organized meeting at the start of the conference with their mentors, mentees will have the opportunity to begin forging new professional relationships, thereby broadening their academic networks. Mentors will support their mentees by attending the junior scholars' presentations in order to provide support and feedback. The third involves facilitating networking events for junior scholars from this year's (2019) cohort and former recipients of the CDS Diversity Travel Awards from the 2015 and 2017 meetings. Together, these experiences are designed to promote the success of junior scholars from diverse backgrounds as both conference participants and as future independent investigators. Anonymous feedback from the junior scholars and their mentors following the 2019 meeting will help ensure that CDS can improve upon the effectiveness of its travel awards in achieving its goal of increasing the involvement of scholars traditionally underrepresented in the field.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.

认知发展协会（CDS）成立于1999年，旨在为专注于认知能力发展的研究人员提供一个智力聚集点。 CDS 成员因对感知、思考和学习的发展起源的共同关注而团结在一起，他们也团结一致，致力于引入不同的观点和方法来理解这些过程。他们的研究涉及整个生命周期的发展时间点，并重点关注塑造认知能力发展的多层次生物、行为、社会和文化过程。由于汇集不同的观点和方法是科学理解取得进展的基础，CDS 一直致力于增加其成员的多样性。 CDS 旨在促进来自发展科学领域历来代表性不足的群体的初级学者（例如研究生、博士后）参加 2019 年会议。 在会议上，这些学者将展示他们的研究成果并参与指导计划，其中包括与该领域的高级研究人员配对。 目前的奖项将通过多种机制增加 CDS 成员的多样性。第一个是为来自代表性不足群体的年轻学者提供旅行奖励。第二个涉及继续该学会的指导计划，将年轻学者与知名研究人员配对。通过在会议开始时与导师举行的有组织的会议，学员将有机会开始建立新的专业关系，从而拓宽他们的学术网络。导师将通过参加初级学者的演讲来支持他们的学员，以提供支持和反馈。第三个涉及为今年（2019 年）的年轻学者以及 2015 年和 2017 年会议的 CDS 多样性旅行奖前获得者举办社交活动。这些经验旨在促进来自不同背景的初级学者作为会议参与者和未来独立研究者的成功。 2019 年会议后，初级学者及其导师的匿名反馈将有助于确保 CDS 能够提高其旅行奖的有效性，以实现其增加传统上在该领域代表性不足的学者的参与的目标。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审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
