Research Team Seminars in Anthropology

高级研究学院（SAR），今年庆祝其115周年，长期致力于支持研究，以推进人类学和相关学科的知识，包括人类文化，进化和历史。NSF/SAR研究小组研讨会为面对面的跨学科合作研究提供了重要的机会，使人类学领域受益，因为缺乏将繁忙的学者聚集在一起的资源，可以免去日常的专业责任。该项目支持现有的和新的学者研究团队，提供面对面的、不间断的时间来讨论、综合和分析他们合作研究的结果，促进了成功完成、扩展和发展新项目的计划，使人类学领域受益和丰富。该项目还支持美国国家科学基金会的目标，即通过合作建立科学基础设施，增进对人类社会和文化变异性的原因、后果和复杂性的理解。这个项目通过一个面对面的学者团队来解决合作、跨学科和国际人类学研究的进展。该项目还增加了发现和理解，以及由这种研究框架产生的产品的质量和重要性。在美国国家科学基金会的资助下，位于新墨西哥州圣达菲的高级人类学及相关学科研究中心——高级研究学院（SAR）在获奖期间举办了两次文化人类学研究小组研讨会。合格的研究小组主要关注的是一个具有人类学重要性的问题，这个问题是及时的，并解决了一个特定的需要。研讨会由特别行政区工作人员和外部学者组成的专家小组通过每年一次的比赛选出。对于每个研讨会，NSF的资助包括所有的旅行、住宿、餐饮和其他相关费用。研究团队研讨会的组织者应提前制定会议时间表，并在研讨会结束后向SAR提供一份报告，描述活动和结果，包括新研究计划，在同行评审的期刊上发表的出版物和编辑的卷，以及会议演讲。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。

The School for Advanced Research (SAR), celebrating its 115th anniversary this year, has a longstanding commitment to support research that advances knowledge about anthropology and related disciplines that includes human culture, evolution, and history. NSF/SAR research team seminars benefit the field of anthropology by providing important opportunities for in-person collaborative interdisciplinary research, given the lack of resources to bring busy scholars together for an extended time that is free of everyday professional responsibilities. Supporting both existing and new research teams of scholars with in-person focused, uninterrupted time to discuss, synthesize, and analyze results of their collaborative research, this project facilitates plans for successful completion, expansion, and development of new projects that benefit and enrich the field of anthropology. This project also supports the NSF’s goals of building scientific infrastructure through collaboration and increasing understanding of the causes, consequences, and complexities of human social and cultural variability.This project addresses the advancement of collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international research in anthropology by an in-person team of scholars. The project also increases discovery and understanding, as well as the quality and importance of the products resulting from this type of research framework. With NSF funding, the School for Advanced Research (SAR), an advanced research center for anthropology and allied disciplines located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, implements two research team seminars in cultural anthropology over the course of the award. Eligible research teams have a primary focus on a question of anthropological importance that is timely and addresses a specific need. Seminars are selected by an expert panel of SAR staff and external scholars through an annual competition. For each seminar, NSF funding covers all travel, lodging, meals, and other related costs to meet at SAR. Organizers of the research team seminars are expected to develop a meeting schedule in advance and provide SAR with a report after the seminar concludes that describes activities and results, including plans for new research, publications in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, and conference presentations.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.
