Research and Development Support for Early Career Cartographers and Geospatial Scientists

该项目将支持25名地图学和地理信息科学(GIScience)领域的早期职业研究人员参加第三十届国际制图会议(ICC)的旅费。该项目的目标是职业生涯早期学者的专业发展，他们目前正在完成研究生学位，或处于学术和职业生涯的早期阶段。国际地图学中心涵盖制图研究的方方面面，是青年学者介绍他们的研究和与国际科学家群体面对面交谈的理想科学场所。这种资助的好处从以前参加过国际刑事法院的年轻学者身上可见一斑，这反映在他们的科学出版物和支持研究的资助奖项上。这种对学生和早期就业学者的支持的更广泛的影响是研究创新和合作，促进来自美国的未来地图学和地理科学领域的全球领导者。参与ICC将导致尖端研究的发展，并将使美国学者在这些努力中处于领先地位。这些青年学者制定了新的研究议程，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、研讨会和同行评议的出版物传播地图学和地理信息科学方面的进展。这些成就促进了地图学和地理信息科学方面更具创新性和更有成效的研究的发展，这些研究服务于国家在空间信息基础设施方面的利益。该活动将为包括美国在内的世界各地的地图研究提供新的见解和方法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
