Annual Meeting of the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology

 描述(由申请人提供)：这项竞争性的延续申请旨在通过资助博士后和博士后学生参加国际发育心理生物学学会(ISDP)年会的旅费来满足为下一代科学家提供最高水平培训的迫切需要。受训人员积极参加ISDP会议将实现以下具体目标：1)使博士后和博士后受训人员接触到广泛的科学范式；2)促进跨分析层次的思维，以提高翻译相关性；3)增加科学相关领域的受训人员，特别是来自代表性较低类别(如种族/民族、性别、残疾、性别认同、性取向)的受训人员；4)吸引美国国内外的初级科学家参加会议，以促进全球合作；以及5)促进初级受训科学家之间以及受训科学家与高级科学家之间广泛、包容的科学互动。 ISDP年度会议的特点是邀请演讲者、研讨会、口头演讲和海报，涉及包括人类在内的各种物种的发展问题，并特别注意在任何组织级别运作的生物因素的影响。以前版本的补助金为学生和博士后研究员提供了部分旅费，让他们在会议上介绍研究，并从会议提供的促进研究事业的机会中受益。目前的建议要求美国国立卫生研究院提供为期5年的持续支持，将最聪明的学生和博士后研究员带到会议上，在那里他们将能够与资深、职业生涯中期和其他初级科学家互动，审查与典型和非典型发展相关的关键问题。该学会及其会议是真正国际化的，吸引了来自世界各地的学者；2015年的会议在西班牙圣塞巴斯蒂安举行，来自9个国家的71名博士后和博士后实习生参加了会议。学生和博士后研究员是我们科学和学术社会的命脉和未来；他们的专业发展是推动ISDP核心科学的关键。对于许多高级成员来说，从他们还是学生的时候开始，ISDP就在推动他们的科学和学术或研究事业方面发挥了重要和持续的作用。多年支助促进了研究生和博士后学员积极和持续参加ISDP会议的文化，使ISDP的影响远远超出了支助期。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This competing continuation application aims to address a critical need to provide the highest-caliber training to the next generation of scientist by supporting travel expenses of pre- and post-doctoral students to attend the annual meeting of the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology (ISDP). Active participation of trainees at the ISDP meeting will achieve the following specific aims: 1) Expose pre-and post-doctoral trainees to a broad range of scientific paradigms; 2) Promote thinking across levels of analysis to foster increased translational relevance; 3) Increase retention of trainees in science-related fields, especially trainees from under-represented categories (e.g. racial/ethnic, gender, disability, gender-identity, sexual orientation); 4) Attract junior scientists from within and outsde the U.S. to the meetings to promote global collaborations; and 5) Facilitate broad, inclusive scientific interactions among junior trainee scientists and between trainees and senior scientists. Annual meetings of ISDP feature invited speakers, symposia, oral talks and posters that span developmental questions across species including humans, with special attention to the effects of biological factors operating at any level of organization. Funds from the previous versions of the grant have provided partial travel support for students and postdoctoral fellows to present research at the meetings and to benefit from the research-career promoting opportunities the meetings afford. The present proposal requests 5 years continuation of support from NIH to bring the brightest students and post-doctoral fellows to the meeting where they will be able to interact with senior, mid-career, and other junior scientists examining critical questions related o typical and atypical development. The society and its meetings are truly international in scope, attracting scholars from across the globe; the 2015 meeting was held in San Sebastian, Spain and 71 pre- and post-doctoral trainees from 9 countries attended. Students and postdoctoral fellows are the lifeblood and future of our science and scholarly society; their professional development is key to advancing the science at the heart of ISDP. For many of the senior members, beginning when they were students, ISDP has played an important and sustaining role in advancing their scientific and academic or research careers. Multiple year support facilitates a culture of active and continued participation at the ISDP meetings among graduate students and postdoctoral trainees, prolonging the impact of ISDP well beyond the period of support.
