The 12th North American Paleontological Convention (NAPC) will occur between 17-21 June 2024, hosted at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (U-M). This large international conference occurs every 4–6 years. NAPC offers a unique opportunity for a broad interaction of individuals from all sub-disciplines of paleontology that collectively address a range of questions about how Earth’s life and environments have changed over time. During NAPC, attendees share the latest research, formulate new areas of investigation, participate in instructional workshops and field courses, meet new collaborators, and provide or receive mentoring in research and career development. This award broadens participation through registration support for students, avocational paleontologists, and paleontological artists. Additional participant support provides accommodation and registration for early-career individuals participating in a mentoring program. Other events supported by this award will offer opportunities for community-building, networking, and education, including Early Career and Diverse Paleoscientists and Allies events, plus a plenary session open to the public. NAPC brings together hundreds individuals in a variety of roles (faculty, students, museum professionals, technicians, artists, and members of the public) to meet, exchange ideas, learn, and mentor in topics related to paleontology and adjacent disciplines. In addition to contributed talks and thematic symposia, NAPC supports technical workshops with a training component, events for groups within our discipline to foster networking and community building, and field trips highlighting regional geology, paleontology, and collections-based resources. The meeting at U-M is designed to increase participation, including by key contributors to the discipline like artists and avocational paleontologists, by offering financial support and dedicated sessions or events for these parts of the community. The meeting also includes a plenary session, live-streamed and open to the public, that highlights the diversity of contributions to paleontology, historical biases in the discipline and paleontological data, and the utility of deep-time data for addressing societal issues.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.

第12届北美古生物学大会（NAPC）将于2024年6月17日至21日在密歇根大学安阿伯（U-M）举行。这一大型国际会议每4-6年举行一次。NAPC提供了一个独特的机会，让来自古生物学所有子学科的个人进行广泛的互动，共同解决一系列关于地球生命和环境如何随时间变化的问题。在NAPC期间，与会者分享最新的研究成果，制定新的调查领域，参加教学研讨会和实地课程，结识新的合作者，并提供或接受研究和职业发展方面的指导。该奖项通过为学生，avorites古生物学家和古生物艺术家提供注册支持来扩大参与。额外的参与者支持为参加辅导计划的早期职业人士提供住宿和登记。该奖项支持的其他活动将为社区建设，网络和教育提供机会，包括早期职业和多样化的古科学家和盟友活动，以及向公众开放的全体会议。NAPC汇集了数百名个人在各种角色（教师，学生，博物馆专业人员，技术人员，艺术家和公众成员），以满足，交流思想，学习和导师在有关古生物学和邻近学科的主题。除了贡献的会谈和专题研讨会，NAPC支持技术研讨会与培训组成部分，在我们的学科，以促进网络和社区建设，并强调区域地质，古生物学和收集的资源实地考察组的事件。在密歇根大学的会议旨在增加参与，包括艺术家和古生物学家等学科的主要贡献者，通过为社区的这些部分提供财政支持和专门的会议或活动。会议还包括一个对公众开放的现场直播全体会议，突出了古生物学贡献的多样性，学科和古生物学数据的历史偏见，以及深时数据在解决社会问题方面的实用性。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。
