 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this conference travel grant proposal is to secure funds to facilitate undergraduate student involvement in the biennial International Conference on Infant Studies. Meetings are held every two years in spring or summer, both in U.S. and international locations. Undergraduates play a large role in infant research, and the goal of this initiative is to provide support for them to attend the conferences. From previously NICHD funded R13 initiatives, there is evidence that such attendance encourages students to pursue developmental science in graduate school or other allied disciplines. Moreover, we believe it allows students to see the central role of science in the study of development. Related to the central goal of this initiative is to make it possible for students from under-represented groups to attend the meetings and continue their involvement in science. The future success of the field of infancy research depends on diversity of researchers, participants, and questions. This initiative dovetails nicely with national efforts to engage undergraduate students in science and to encourage their continued engagement following graduation. This initiative also aligns well with the efforts of the International Congress on Infant Studies (ICIS), the organization that sponsors the biennial conferences. Promotion of undergraduate research experiences will result in the next generation of infancy researchers. This proposal seeks to support student travel to the next three conferences - 2016, 2018, and 2020 - with $15,000 per conference (total request is $45,000). This funding rate should be enough to help offset travel expenses for 10-20 undergraduate presenters per meeting. Additionally, the ICIS will provide a reduced conference registration fee for undergraduate attendees, networking opportunities for undergraduates to learn about graduate school and post-college employment, and a $200 cash reward and a plaque to the author of the best overall undergraduate paper.

 描述(申请人提供)：本会议旅费拨款提案的目的是为了获得资金，以促进本科生参与两年一度的国际婴幼儿研究会议。会议每两年在春季或夏季举行，在美国和国际地点都是如此。本科生在婴儿研究中发挥着很大的作用，这一倡议的目标是为他们参加会议提供支持。从NICHD以前资助的R13倡议中，有证据表明，这种学习鼓励学生在研究生院或其他相关学科学习发展科学。此外，我们认为，它让学生看到科学在发展研究中的核心作用。该倡议的中心目标是使代表人数不足的群体的学生能够参加会议并继续参与科学活动。婴幼儿研究领域未来的成功取决于研究人员、参与者和问题的多样性。这一倡议与国家让本科生参与科学并鼓励他们在毕业后继续参与的努力很好地吻合。这一倡议也与国际婴儿研究大会(ICIS)的努力很好地一致，该组织 主办两年一次的会议。本科生研究经验的提升将造就下一代幼儿研究人员。这项提案旨在支持学生参加接下来的三个会议-2016、2018和2020-每个会议15,000美元(总申请为45,000美元)。这一资助率应该足以抵消每一次会议10-20名本科生演讲者的旅费。此外，ICIS将为本科生与会者提供降低的会议注册费，为本科生提供了解研究生和大学毕业后就业的网络机会，并奖励200美元现金奖励和最佳综合本科生论文作者的奖牌。
