International Conference on Infant Studies: 2010 - 2014

摘要 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），其中，在2010年，将在巴尔的摩，MD两年一度的会议。在延续前三个R13本科生旅行资助从NICHD获得的2004年，2006年和2008年的会议，拟议的赠款将与ISIS正在进行的前所未有的努力相吻合，以针对，发展和国际化的婴儿科学研究人员在他们的职业生涯早期。我们正在请求资金帮助抵消每个队列10-20名本科生演讲者参加接下来三次ISIS会议的差旅费，从2010年马里兰州巴尔的摩开始。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，以使现有的机制多样化，使最优秀和最聪明的本科生进入婴儿期研究的国际领域。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。 为了在职业生涯早期支持婴儿科学研究人员，并加强和全球化本科生参与ISIS的各个方面，该学会建立并实施了一年两次的多管齐下的倡议，以庆祝和促进本科生参与婴儿研究会议。首先，所有本科生的会议注册率都有相当大的降低（42.8%），ISIS的本科生研究委员会举办了一个“与学者共进午餐”计划，提交的最佳本科论文将获得ISIS资助的200美元现金奖和一块牌匾。

Abstract 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.
