Expanding engagement and mentorship of developing scientists through ISDP Annual Meeting participation

本提案解决了征聘和留住多样化和高素质人才的迫切需要 科学家人才库，通过向受训人员提供直接旅行支持，允许他们 积极参加国际发展学会年会 心理生物学(ISDP)，一个久负盛名但令人兴奋和充满活力的科学学会 致力于研究跨越多个分析层次的广泛的科学问题。这个 ISDP的使命是促进和鼓励对行为发展的研究 在所有的有机体中。年会的特色包括特邀演讲者、座谈会、口头演讲和 横跨包括人类在内的各种物种的发展问题的海报， 特别注意生物因素在任何组织层面上的作用。 这笔赠款为博士后和博士后学员的旅行提供了支持。 参加这些会议。本提议要求继续提供5年的差旅支助 继续支持我们的能力，让最聪明的学生和 博士后研究员参加这次会议，在那里他们将能够与其他人互动 用科学的方法审视与正常和不正常发展有关的关键问题 从分子到临床的各种范例。提供多年支持 鼓励积极和持续参与下列国家的ISDP会议的文化 研究生和博士后实习生，其影响远远超出了 请求的支持期限。

The present proposal addresses a critical need to recruit and retain a diverse and talented pool of scientists, by providing direct travel support to trainees to permit them to actively participate in the annual meetings of the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology (ISDP), a well-established, yet exciting and vital, scientific society devoted to a broad range of scientific questions that cross many levels of analysis. The mission of ISDP is to promote and encourage research on the development of behavior in all organisms. The annual meetings feature invited speakers, symposia, oral talks and posters that span developmental questions across species including humans, with special attention to the effects of biological factors operating at any level of organization. Funds from this grant have provided support for pre- and postdoctoral trainees to travel to these meetings. The present proposal requests 5 years continuation of travel support from NIH to continue supporting our ability to bring the brightest students and postdoctoral fellows to this meeting where they will be able to interact with others examining critical questions related to normal and abnormal development using scientific paradigms ranging from the molecular to the clinical. Providng multi-year support encourages a culture of active and continued participation at the ISDP meetings among graduate students and postdoctoral trainees, prolonging the impact well beyond the period of support requested.
