Support of Travel to the 28th International Congress of Psychology

IUPsyS美国全国委员会正在赞助一项旅行资助计划，为参加将于2004年8月8日至13日在中国北京举行的第28届国际心理学大会的科学项目的美国心理学研究生和早期职业科学家提供部分国际旅行资助。本次大会被认为是心理科学领域最重要的国际会议。这项旅行资助为研究生和早期职业科学家提供了一个展示他们的科学，了解国际舞台上重要的新进展，并为未来的国际合作建立联系的机会，他们中的许多人没有这种旅行的机构资助。旅行资助计划将广泛宣传并向所有感兴趣的美国研究生和早期职业科学家开放，他们的研究属于美国国家科学基金会资助项目所涵盖的主题，包括心理学，语言学，学习和发展。申请人必须提供论文或海报的摘要，以及他们的导师或其他教员推荐他们参加的简短提名信。该计划的目标是最大限度地提高美国研究生研究人员和早期职业学者在会议上的影响，以及会议对这些参与者的影响。为了支持这一目标，委员会将按地域和机构平衡奖项。还将考虑确保女性和少数族裔在美国科学界的代表性。在对申请人进行排名时，筛选小组委员会将考虑：1)每位参与者对大会的潜在贡献以及每位参与者将从大会获得的用于其研究的回报；2)论文或海报的质量和及时性；3)需要旅费补助以保证个人出席；4)个人通过出勤提高其潜在科学生产力的预期能力。所有成功的申请者必须在大会结束后的两个月内提供一份有意义的旅行报告。旅行报告应该包括对受助者和美国心理科学产生的好处。

The U.S. National Committee for IUPsyS is sponsoring a travel grant program to partially support international travel for U.S. psychology graduate students and early career scientists participating in the scientific program of the 28th International Congress of Psychology, which will take place August 8-13, 2004, in Beijing, China. This congress is considered the most important international meeting on psychological science. This travel grant provides graduate students and early career scientists, many of whom do not have the institutional funding for such travel, an opportunity to present their science, learn of important new advances in an international arena, and establish contacts for future international collaborations.The travel grant program will be widely publicized and open to all interested U.S. graduate students and early career scientists whose research falls within the purview of the topics covered by NSF funding programs, including those in psychology, linguistics, learning, and development. Applicants must provide an abstract of their paper or poster and a short nomination letter from their advisor or another faculty member recommending their participation. The goal of the program is to maximize the impact of U.S. graduate student researchers and early career scholars at the meeting, as well as the impact of the meeting on those participants. In support of this goal, the committee will balance the awards geographically and by institution. Consideration will also be given to ensuring the representation of American science with women and minorities. When ranking the applicants, the screening subcommittee will consider: 1) the potential contribution of each participant to the Congress and the return each will receive from the Congress to apply to his/her research; 2) the quality and timeliness of his or her paper or poster; 3) the need for travel grant money to assure the individual's attendance; and 4) the expected ability of the individual to increase his or her potential scientific productivity through attendance. All successful applicants must provide a meaningful trip report within two months after the Congress. The trip reports should feature benefits that have accrued both to the grantees and to American psychological science.
