Research and Development Support for Early Career Cartographers and Geospatial Scientists

该项目将资助25名制图和地理信息科学领域的早期职业研究人员参加第30届国际制图会议。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涵盖了制图研究的各个方面，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科学场所。这项资助的优点是显而易见的，从以前的年轻学者谁参加了国际刑事法院，反映在他们的科学出版物和资助奖，以支持研究。这种支持对学生和早期职业学者的更广泛影响是研究创新和合作，促进美国未来在制图和GIScience领域的全球领导者。参与ICC将促进尖端研究的发展，并使美国学者能够在这些努力中发挥带头作用。这些年轻学者制定新的研究议程，调查关键的科学和社会挑战，促进与国际社会的合作，并通过讲习班，研讨会和同行评审的出版物传播制图和GIScience的进步。这些成就导致在地图学和地理信息系统科学，服务于国家的利益，关于空间信息基础设施的发展更具创新性和生产力的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

This project will support travel for 25 early career researchers in the field of cartography and geographic information science (GIScience) to attend the 30th International Cartographic Conference (ICC). This project targets the professional development of early career scholars who are currently completing a graduate degree, or are in the early stages of their academic, professional career. The ICC covers all aspects of cartographic research and is an ideal scientific venue for young scholars to present their research and to talk face-to-face with an international community of scientists. The merit of this funding is evident from previous young scholars who have attended the ICC, as reflected in their scientific publications and funding awards to support research. The broader impact of this support for students and early career scholars is research innovation and collaboration that promotes future global leaders in cartography and GIScience from the United States.Participation in the ICC will lead to the development of cutting-edge research and will enable U.S. scholars to take the lead in these endeavors. These young scholars develop new research agendas that investigate key scientific and societal challenges, promote collaboration with the international community, and disseminate advances in cartography and GIScience through workshops, seminars, and peer-reviewed publications. These accomplishments result in the development of more innovative and productive research in cartography and GIScience that serves the Nation’s interests regarding spatial information infrastructure. 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.
