SUPPORT OF STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON FORAMINIFERA 2010 MEETING (FORAMS-2010) 5-10, SEPTEMBER 2010 in Bonn, Germany

有孔虫系列国际研讨会是有孔虫微体古生物学家和来自不同学科的生物学家的四年一次的聚会。它得到了国际有孔虫团体的支持，并向所有对有孔虫和相关主题感兴趣的人开放。 会议将于2010年9月5日至10日在德国波恩大学举行。 FORAMS 2010的一个目的是让那些通常不会接触的专家见面并交流想法。例如，有孔虫微体古生物学家和遗传学家通常有不同的专业协会，在不同的时间开会，但这两个群体的一些成员有共同的兴趣，例如在系统分类学。 会议有自己的网站，http://www.forams2010.uni-bonn.de/已运行一年多。组委会认为，学生的持续兴趣对该领域的健康至关重要。该提案要求支持美国学生出席会议。这些资金可用于登记和旅行，包括住房。 受赠者将根据能力进行挑选，并将适当注意支持少数群体和妇女的必要性。遴选将由库什曼有孔虫研究基金会董事会任命的遴选委员会进行。

The International Symposium on Foraminifera series is a quadrennial gathering of foraminiferal micropaleontologists and biologists from a variety of disciplines. It is supported by international foraminiferal groups, and is open to all who are interested in foraminifera and related topics. The meeting is September 5 to 10, 2010, at the University of Bonn, Germany. One aim of FORAMS 2010 is to allow specialists who would not otherwise normally be in contact to meet and exchange ideas. For example, foram micropaleontologists and geneticists commonly have different professional societies that meet at different times, yet some members of these two groups share common interests, for example in systematics. The meeting has its own website which has been operational for over a year at http://www.forams2010.uni-bonn.de/. The Organizing Committee believes that the continued interest of students is critical to the health of the field. This proposal requests support for the attendance of US students at the meeting. These funds may be used for registration and travel, including housing. Grantees would be selected on the basis of merit, and appropriate attention will be paid to the need to support minority groups and women. Selection would be made by a Selection Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Cushman Foundation for Foraminiferal Research, Inc.
