DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this conference travel grant proposal is to secure funds to continue to facilitate undergraduate student involvement in the Biennial Meetings of the International Society on Infant Studies (ISIS), which will be held next in Kyoto, Japan, during June of 2006. In continuance with a previous R13 undergraduate travel support grant obtained from NICHD for the 2004 meetings, the proposed grant would dovetail with unprecedented efforts being undertaken by the ISIS to target, develop, and internationalize infancy science researchers early in their careers. We are requesting monies to help offset the travel expenses of 10 undergraduate students to attend the 2006 Kyoto 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 international field of infancy research. Indeed, many of the most successful scholars within ISIS first became involved with infancy research at the undergraduate level. With the goal of supporting infancy science researchers early in their careers, and of enhancing and globalizing undergraduate participation in all aspects of ISIS, the Society has established a multi-pronged initiative to internationalize undergraduate participation in infancy research at the 2006 meetings: the meetings will be cosponsored by the Japan Society for Baby Science, the registration fee will be waived for undergraduate students, undergraduates will participate in special conversation hours with international Early Career Award" recipients, the Undergraduate Research Committee at ISIS will once again host a "Luncheon with the Scholars" program, all breakfast and lunch expenses for undergraduates will be covered by the Society, and discounted lodging ($45/night) for undergraduates has been negotiated with the Palace Side Hotel (affiliated with Doshisha University). Although room and board expenses have been reduced considerably for undergraduates in attendance at the 2006 meeting, student travel support will still provide enormous incentive for students to attend the conference, given that airfare rates are currently in excess of $1500 and purchasing an evening meal in Japan can be an expensive endeavor.

描述（由申请人提供）：本次会议旅费补助金提案的目的是确保资金，以继续促进本科生参与国际婴儿研究学会（ISIS）的两年一度的会议，该会议将于2006年6月在日本京都举行。在延续以前的R13本科生旅行资助补助金从NICHD获得的2004年会议，拟议的赠款将配合前所未有的努力正在进行的ISIS的目标，发展，并在他们的职业生涯早期国际化的婴儿科学研究人员。我们正在申请资金，以帮助抵消10名本科生参加2006年京都会议的旅费。正如该协会的执行委员会所确定的那样，本科生的研究经验构成了下一代婴儿研究人员将得到滋养的基础，对于婴儿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，以便将最优秀和最聪明的本科生纳入婴儿研究的国际领域。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。 为了支持婴儿科学研究人员在其职业生涯的早期，并加强和全球化的本科生参与ISIS的各个方面的目标，该协会已经建立了一个多管齐下的倡议，在2006年会议上国际化的本科生参与婴儿研究：会议将由日本婴儿科学学会共同主办，本科生免注册费，本科生将参加与国际早期职业奖获得者的特别对话时间，ISIS的本科生研究委员会将再次举办“与学者共进午餐”计划，本科生的所有早餐和午餐费用将由学会承担，和折扣住宿（45美元/晚）的本科生已经谈判与宫边酒店（附属同志社大学）。尽管2006年会议的本科生的食宿费用已经大大减少，但学生旅行支持仍然会为学生参加会议提供巨大的动力，因为机票价格目前超过1500美元，在日本购买晚餐可能是一项昂贵的奋进。
