Research Team Seminars in Anthropology

高级研究学院(SAR)今年庆祝成立115周年，长期致力于支持研究，促进人类学和相关学科的知识，包括人类文化、进化论和历史。NSF/SAR研究小组研讨会使人类学领域受益，因为它为面对面的跨学科合作研究提供了重要机会，因为缺乏资源将忙碌的学者聚集在一起，延长时间，使他们摆脱日常的专业责任。该项目支持现有的和新的学者研究团队，以面对面的、不间断的时间讨论、综合和分析他们合作研究的结果，促进成功完成、扩展和开发有利于并丰富人类学领域的新项目的计划。该项目还支持NSF的目标，即通过合作和增加对人类社会和文化多样性的原因、结果和复杂性的理解来建设科学基础设施。该项目致力于通过一个面对面的学者团队推进人类学中的协作、跨学科和国际研究。该项目还增加了发现和理解，以及由这类研究框架产生的产品的质量和重要性。在NSF的资助下，位于新墨西哥州圣达菲的人类学及其相关学科的高级研究中心高级研究学院(SAR)在颁奖过程中举办了两个文化人类学研究小组研讨会。符合条件的研究团队主要关注一个人类学上的重要问题，这个问题是及时的，并解决了特定的需求。研讨会由一个由特区工作人员和外部学者组成的专家小组通过一年一度的比赛选出。对于每个研讨会，NSF的资助涵盖了在香港特别行政区举行的所有旅行、住宿、餐饮和其他相关费用。预计研究团队研讨会的组织者将提前制定会议时间表，并在研讨会结束后向特区提交一份报告，说明活动和结果，包括新研究计划、同行评议期刊和编辑过的期刊上的出版物以及会议报告。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力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.
