DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this conference travel grant application is to secure funds to facilitate undergraduate student involvement in the Biennial Meetings of the International Society on Infant Studies (ISIS), to be held in Chicago, IL, during May of 2004. In conjunction with a major undergraduate research initiative undertaken by the Society, we are requesting partial support of the travel expenses for 12 undergraduate students for attendance at the meetings. As determined by the Executive Committee of the Society, undergraduate research experiences form the substrate out of which the next generation of infancy researchers will be nourished, and it is essential for the well-being and future successes of the field of infancy research to increase the diversity of available mechanisms for funneling the best and brightest undergraduate students into the field. Indeed, many of the most successful scholars within ISIS first became involved with infancy research at the undergraduate level. With the goal of enhancing undergraduate participation in all aspects of ISIS, the Society has established a multi-pronged initiative to support undergraduate infancy research: we have established a standing Committee on Undergraduate Research, we have created a review panel for the sole purpose of reviewing undergraduate papers submitted for presentation at the 2004 meetings in Chicago, we are preparing to administer an undergraduate paper competition, the winner of which will be published in the Society's flagship journal "Infancy," and we are submitting this application with the aim of supporting undergraduate student attendance at the 2004 conference. Although the 2004 ISIS meeting will be held within the United States, student travel support still will provide an enormous incentive for undergraduate students to attend the conference, and provide a means of fiscal support not otherwise available.

描述（由申请人提供）： 本次会议旅费补助申请的目的是确保资金，以促进本科生参与国际婴儿研究学会（ISIS）的两年一度的会议，将在芝加哥，IL，在2004年5月举行。在与一个主要的大学生研究倡议进行的社会，我们要求部分支持的旅费为12名本科生出席会议。正如社会的执行委员会所确定的，本科生的研究经验形成了下一代婴儿期研究人员将得到滋养的基础，对于婴儿期研究领域的福祉和未来的成功至关重要，以增加可用机制的多样性，以吸引最优秀和最聪明的本科生进入该领域。事实上，ISIS内部许多最成功的学者最初都是在本科阶段参与婴儿研究的。 为了提高本科生参与ISIS各个方面的目标，该协会建立了一个多管齐下的倡议，以支持本科生的婴儿期研究：我们已经建立了一个本科生研究常设委员会，我们已经建立了一个审查小组，其唯一目的是审查提交给芝加哥2004年会议的本科生论文，我们正在准备管理一个本科生论文竞赛，赢家将发表在该协会的旗舰杂志“婴儿”，我们提交这一申请的目的是支持本科生出席2004年会议。虽然2004年ISIS会议将在美国境内举行，但学生旅行支助仍将为本科生参加会议提供巨大的动力，并提供一种其他方式无法获得的财政支助手段。
