PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT We seek five years of funding to enhance diversity and accessibility at the Boston University Conference on Language Development (BUCLD), which will take place at Boston University each year around the first weekend in November. Now in its 46th year, the BUCLD is internationally recognized as one of the most important annual meetings of researchers in different areas of language acquisition and development, including first and second language acquisition, language disorders, bilingualism, and literacy development. The meeting comprises oral presentations and poster presentations selected through peer review, as well as invited keynote and plenary speakers, a symposium on a topic of current interest, a NIH/NSF research funding workshop, a professionalization workshop for students and postdocs, a pop-up mentoring program, and a sponsor exhibit. The BUCLD serves as a prime venue for disseminating and inciting new scientific research; it brings together researchers from all different areas of language development who do not typically interact or encounter each other’s work regularly elsewhere, thus fostering substantial interaction across theoretical and disciplinary boundaries. It also offers excellent training for students and postdocs, both in the form of access to high-quality scholarship and in training activities such as the funding workshop. In this proposal, we are requesting funds for student travel awards that will increase the quality, visibility, interdisciplinary contribution, health relevance, and accessibility of the conference for students from underrepresented populations, including women, racial/ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and first- generation college students. These student travel awards are a key piece not only for ensuring that the BUCLD continues to be a high-quality venue for the above activities, but also for allowing the conference to grow in important new directions that are demonstrated priorities for the scientific community as well as NIH.

项目摘要/摘要 我们在波士顿大学会议上寻求五年的资金，以增强多样性和可及性 语言发展(BUCLD)，这将在波士顿大学每年的第一个 十一月的周末。 现在已经是第46个年头了，BUCLD是国际公认的最重要的 不同语言习得和发展领域的研究人员，包括第一语言和第二语言 习得、语言障碍、双语和识字发展。会议由口头会议组成。 通过同行审查选定的演示文稿和海报演示文稿，以及受邀的主旨演讲和全体会议 演讲者，关于当前感兴趣的主题的研讨会，NIH/NSF研究资助研讨会， 为学生和博士后举办的职业化研讨会、弹出式指导计划和赞助商展览。 BUCLD是传播和激发新的科学研究的主要场所；它汇集了 来自所有不同语言发展领域的研究人员，他们通常不会相互交流或接触 其他人的工作定期在其他地方进行，从而促进理论和学科之间的实质性互动 边界。它还为学生和博士后提供出色的培训，这两种形式都是通过获得高质量的 在奖学金和培训活动中，如资助讲习班。 在这项提案中，我们要求为学生旅行奖励提供资金，以提高质量、知名度、 跨学科的贡献、健康相关性和会议的可访问性 代表性不足的人口，包括妇女、种族/族裔少数群体、残疾人和第一 一代大学生。这些学生旅行奖励不仅是为了确保BUCLD 继续成为上述活动的高质量场所，也是让会议在 科学界以及美国国立卫生研究院已证明优先考虑的重要新方向。
