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, in 2010, will be held in Baltimore, MD. In continuance with three previous R13 undergraduate travel support grants obtained from NICHD for the 2004, 2006, and 2008 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 funds to help offset the travel expenses of 10-20 undergraduate student presenters per cohort, to attend each of the next three ISIS conferences, beginning with Baltimore, MD in 2010. 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 diversify 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 and implements biannually a multi-pronged initiative to celebrate and promote undergraduate participation in infancy research at its meetings. First, all undergraduate students receive a considerable rate reduction (42.8%) for conference registration, the Undergraduate Research Committee at ISIS hosts a "Luncheon with the Scholars" program, and the best overall submitted undergraduate paper receives an ISIS-funded $200 cash prize and a plaque. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: There has been considerable attention paid to the state of suboptimal science education in the U.S. Accordingly, the International Society on Infant Studies has implemented a multipronged approach aimed at increasing the exposure of undergraduate students to the scientific enterprise generally, and to infancy science specifically. The purpose of the proposed project is to secure funds through the NIH R13 mechanism to identify and facilitate the travel of three cohorts of undergraduate infancy researchers to attend the next three International Conferences on Infant Studies, beginning with the March 10-14, 2010, conference in Baltimore, MD.

描述（由申请人提供）：本次会议差旅补助金提案的目的是确保资金继续促进本科生参与国际婴儿研究协会（ISIS）的两年一次的会议，该会议将于2010年在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行。继NICHD为2004年、2006年和2008年的会议获得了三次R13本科生差旅支持补助金之后，拟议的补助金将与ISIS所做的前所未有的努力相匹配。在幼儿科学研究人员的职业生涯早期培养他们并使他们国际化。我们正在申请资金，以帮助抵消每组10-20名本科生演讲者参加未来三次ISIS会议的旅费，从2010年马里兰州巴尔的摩开始。正如该协会执行委员会所决定的那样，本科生的研究经历构成了下一代婴儿研究人员将得到滋养的基础，为了婴儿研究领域的福祉和未来的成功，多样化可用机制将最优秀、最聪明的本科生汇集到国际婴儿研究领域是至关重要的。事实上，ISIS中许多最成功的学者在本科阶段就开始参与婴儿研究。为了支持婴儿期科学研究人员的早期职业生涯，并加强和全球化本科生参与ISIS的各个方面，该协会建立并实施了一项多管齐下的倡议，每两年一次，在其会议上庆祝和促进本科生参与婴儿期研究。首先，所有本科生在会议注册时都可以获得相当大的折扣（42.8%），ISIS的本科生研究委员会举办“与学者共进午餐”计划，提交的最佳本科生论文将获得ISIS资助的200美元现金奖励和一块牌匾。
