Conference: Society for Applied Anthropology 2024

应用人类学协会成立于1941年，旨在促进对人类行为原则的研究，并将这些原则应用于当代问题。该学会有2000多名会员，并赞助两本主要期刊。该协会为人类学家提供了一个重要的专业空间，这些人类学家专注于具有使用启发式研究目标的基本科学问题，以及在人类学科学中开发创新的新方法。这个项目扩大了历史上在科学领域代表性不足的群体的参与。为了与2024年年会对转型的主题保持一致，该项目还包括明确的传播计划，以便向公众传播科学。该项目为研究生、本科生和早期职业人员提供了科学方法培训的机会。该项目在新墨西哥州圣菲举行的应用人类学学会2024年年会上召集了在使用启发人类学领域工作的学者。该项目为属于以下一个或多个群体的学生、学者、从业者和社区成员提供旅行和住宿资金：(1)历史上在人类学科学领域的代表性不足和/或(2)受到2024年年会计划中关键问题（包括与环境变异性、水资源短缺、灾害风险和准备相关的问题）不成比例的影响。除了建立扩大参与以优化人类学科学质量的科学人类学应用之外，项目成果还在一系列具体的子领域推进人类学科学，包括环境变化和水资源短缺，文化和医学，备灾，残疾研究和土著知识。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。

Founded in 1941, the Society for Applied Anthropology promotes the investigation of the principles of human behavior and the application of these principles to contemporary issues and problems. The Society has over 2,000 members and sponsors two major journals. The Society provides a critical professional space for anthropologists focused on basic scientific questions with use-inspired research objectives, as well as the development of innovative new methodologies in anthropological science. This project broadens the participation of groups historically underrepresented in science. In keeping with the 2024 annual meeting’s thematic focus on transformation, the project also includes clear dissemination plans for the communication of science to the public. Opportunities are afforded through this project to train graduate and undergraduate students and early career professionals in scientific methods.This project convenes scholars working in areas of use-inspired anthropological science at the 2024 Annual Meetings of the Society for Applied Anthropology in Sante Fe, New Mexico. The project supports funding for travel and accommodations for students, scholars, practitioners, and community members who belong to one or more of the following groups: (1) historically underrepresented in anthropological sciences and/or (2) disproportionately affected by critical issues in the 2024 Annual Meeting program (which includes issues related to environmental variability, water scarcity, and disaster risk and preparedness). In addition to instituting anthropological applications of the science of broadening participation to optimize the quality of anthropological science, project outcomes advance anthropological science in a range of specific subfields, including environmental change and water scarcity, culture and medicine, disaster preparedness, disability studies, and Indigenous knowledge.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.
