Conference: Conservation Paleobiology Symposium

非技术描述：该提案涵盖了2023年2月在佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔举行的保护古生物学研讨会的学生注册费。本次学术会议由保护古生物学网络主办，该网络由美国国家科学基金会资助，拥有来自44个国家的650多名成员，总部设在佛罗里达大学佛罗里达博物馆。会议的潜在与会者来自世界各地，他们擅长各种主题，如古生物学、考古学、保护科学和历史地质学。参与者将包括来自大学、政府机构和非营利组织的人员。这次会议将提供一种联系专家的方式，否则他们将没有机会见面并交换意见。通过资助学生注册费，该提案将有助于吸引和吸引学生，特别是那些历史上代表性不足的群体，从而培养下一代学者和教育工作者。学生的参与对科学和社会都很重要。这些人不仅是保护古生物学这门不断发展的学科的未来，而且他们经常有新的方法，并以新的和重要的方式应用科学。会议的费用通常是昂贵的，许多学生很难负担得起。通过支付他们的注册费，学生们更容易参加会议。技术说明：该提案涵盖了2023年2月16日至2月19日在佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔举行的保护古生物学研讨会的学生注册费。本次学术会议由保护古生物学网络组织，该网络由美国国家科学基金会资助，有来自44个国家的650多名成员，总部设在佛罗里达大学佛罗里达博物馆。潜在的会议参加者来自不同的地域、学科和专业，包括来自学术机构、州和联邦政府机构以及非营利组织的人员。潜在与会者的分支学科包括但不限于古生物学、考古学、保护科学和历史地质学。这次会议将为跨学科专家提供一个场所，否则他们将没有机会见面和交流思想。通过资助学生注册费，这项提案将有助于我们吸引和吸引学生，特别是那些历史上代表性不足的群体的学生，从而培养下一代学者和教育工作者。这些人的参与对该领域的健康至关重要，这直接影响并有利于我们社会的共同未来。来自未被充分代表的群体的学生和个人不仅会成为保护古生物学这门不断发展的学科的未来，而且他们通常会有新的方法和新的应用。对于许多学生来说，会议的注册费往往很贵，而且难以负担。通过支付他们的注册费，学生们更容易参加会议。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。

Non-Technical Description: This proposal covers the cost of student registration fees for the Conservation Paleobiology Symposium in Gainesville, Florida in February 2023. This academic conference is run by the Conservation Paleobiology Network, an NSF-funded network with over 650 members from 44 countries based out of the Florida Museum, University of Florida. The potential conference attendees come from all over the world and specialize in a variety of topics such as paleontology, archaeology, conservation science, and historical geology. Participants will include people from universities, government agencies, and non-profit organizations. This conference will provide a way of connecting specialists who would not otherwise have a chance to meet and exchange ideas. By funding student registration fees, this proposal will help to attract and engage students, particularly those from historically underrepresented groups, thus nurturing the next generation of scholars and educators. The participation of students is important for science and society. Not only will these individuals be the future of the growing discipline of conservation paleobiology, but they often have new approaches and apply the science in new and important ways. Fees for conferences are often expensive and difficult for many students to afford. By covering their registration fees, the conference is made more accessible to students.Technical Description:This proposal covers the cost of student registration fees for the Conservation Paleobiology Symposium in Gainesville, Florida from February 16 to February 19, 2023. This academic conference is organized by the Conservation Paleobiology Network, an NSF-funded network with over 650 members from 44 countries based out of the Florida Museum, University of Florida. The potential conference attendees are geographically, disciplinarily, and professionally diverse, and include people from academic institutions, state and federal governmental institutions, and non-profit organizations. The sub-disciplines of potential attendees include, but are not limited to, paleontology, archaeology, conservation science, and historical geology. This conference will provide a venue for cross-disciplinary specialists who would not otherwise have opportunities to meet and exchange ideas. By funding student registration fees, this proposal will facilitate our efforts to attract and engage students, particularly those from historically underrepresented groups, thus nurturing the next generation of scholars and educators. The participation of these individuals is critical to the health of the field, which directly impacts and benefits the shared future of our society. Not only will students and individuals from underrepresented groups be the future of the growing discipline of conservation paleobiology, but they commonly have new approaches and use novel applications. Registration fees for conferences are often expensive and difficult for many students to afford. By covering their registration fees, the conference is made more accessible to students.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.
