Research to understand the complexities of human development occurs in a diverse array of fields. Whereas specialization within a field is essential to address research questions at a deep level, this has resulted in fragmented silos of knowledge. However, innovations are catalyzed when research intentionally integrates multiple disciplines and is conceptualized with policymakers, practitioners, and the community (e.g., transdisciplinary, multisector research). Despite its importance, transdisciplinary, multisector research is difficult to achieve. This project provides funding to support the attendance of early career and underrepresented scholars at a conference specifically focused on catalyzing innovative, transdisciplinary, multisector research and a 6-month follow up meeting at a preconference before the Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) Biennial Meeting. This conference upends the traditional conference model by providing opportunities to pursue training, mentorship, and structured space to foster new collaborations across attendees’ disciplinary training and is integrative among researchers, community agencies, and practitioners. This conference emphasizes the process of building and sustaining multidisciplinary and multisector collaborations. To achieve this, keynote speakers and plenary sessions will focus on how to develop transdisciplinary, multisector teams and projects. The main impetus of the conference emerges from the Working Roundtables, whereby attendees are pre-matched based on submissions into transdisciplinary and multisector teams and provided dedicated time and mentorship to develop new innovative transdisciplinary, multisector research ideas. Supporting attendance at this conference will encourage and enable a new generation of transdisciplinary, multisector research focused on understanding and supporting human development in its full and rich complexity.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.

了解人类发展的复杂性的研究发生在不同的领域。虽然一个领域的专业化对于解决深层次的研究问题至关重要，但这导致了知识的碎片化。然而，当研究有意地整合多个学科，并与决策者、从业者和社区一起概念化时（例如，跨学科、多部门研究），创新就会得到催化。尽管它很重要，但跨学科、多部门的研究很难实现。该项目提供资金支持早期职业和代表性不足的学者参加一个会议，特别关注促进创新，跨学科，多部门的研究，并在儿童发展研究学会（SRCD）双年会议之前的会前进行为期6个月的后续会议。本次会议颠覆了传统的会议模式，提供了追求培训、指导和结构化空间的机会，以促进与会者跨学科培训的新合作，并将研究人员、社区机构和从业者整合在一起。本次会议强调建立和维持多学科和多部门合作的进程。为实现这一目标，主题演讲嘉宾和全体会议将重点讨论如何发展跨学科、多部门的团队和项目。会议的主要推动力来自工作圆桌会议，与会者根据提交的内容被预先匹配到跨学科和多部门的团队中，并提供专门的时间和指导，以发展新的跨学科、多部门的创新研究思路。支持出席这次会议将鼓励和促进新一代跨学科、多部门的研究，重点是理解和支持人类发展的全面和丰富的复杂性。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
