DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this conference travel grant application 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 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada during March of 2008. In continuance with two previous R13 undergraduate travel support grants obtained from NICHD for the 2004 and 2006 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 15-20 undergraduate student presenters in attendance at the 2008 Vancouver 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 2008 meetings: all students will receive a 50% reduced rate for conference registration, the Undergraduate Research Committee at ISIS will once again host a "Luncheon with the Scholars" program, and the best overall submitted undergraduate paper will receive an ISIS-funded $200 cash prize and a plaque.

说明（由申请人提供）：本次会议旅行补助金申请的目的是确保资金继续促进本科生参与国际婴儿研究学会 (ISIS) 的两年一次的会议，该会议将于下次在不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行， 2008 年 3 月在加拿大。继之前从 NICHD 为 2004 年和 2006 年会议获得的两笔 R13 本科生旅行资助补助金之外，拟议的补助金将与 ISIS 为瞄准、培养和国际化职业生涯早期的婴儿科学研究人员而采取的前所未有的努力相配合。我们正在申请资金来帮助抵消 15-20 名本科生演讲者出席 2008 年温哥华会议的旅费。根据学会执行委员会的决定，本科生研究经验构成了培养下一代婴儿期研究人员的基础，增加可用机制的多样性，将最优秀和最聪明的本科生引入国际婴儿期研究领域，对于婴儿期研究领域的福祉和未来成功至关重要。事实上，伊斯兰国内部许多最成功的学者都是在本科阶段开始参与婴儿期研究的。为了支持婴儿期科学研究人员的职业生涯早期，以及加强本科生对 ISIS 各方面的参与并使其全球化，学会在 2008 年会议上制定了一项多管齐下的举措，使本科生参与婴儿期研究国际化：所有学生的会议注册费将享受 50% 的折扣，ISIS 本科生研究委员会将再次举办“与学者共进午餐”计划，并获得最佳总体成绩。 提交的本科论文将获得 ISIS 资助的 200 美元现金奖励和一块牌匾。
