4S Travel Grant

这一提议使被选中的研究生能够参加科学社会研究学会的年度专业会议。这个协会是从事科学技术研究的人的中心聚会场所和知识论坛，它是一个欢迎研究生的地方：他们不仅可以看到论文，还可以发表论文，并与导师联系，导师在职业和知识问题上为他们提供建议。研究生国内航班的最高奖励为750美元，国际航班的最高奖励为1000美元，所有学生必须是乘坐美国航空公司的美国学生。有一个竞争激烈的选拔过程，学生被要求提供他们的经历的后续文件。这是第四次研究生资助申请；早期的教育将学生带入了这个领域，他们现在是教育和创新的领导者。

This proposal enables selected graduate students to attend annual professional meetings of the Society for Social Studies of Science. This society is the central meeting place and intellectual forum for those engaged in Science and Technology Studies and it is a welcoming place for graduate students: they not only see papers, they also present, and are connected with mentors who advise them on careers and intellectual matters. The maximum award for a graduate student is $750 for a domestic flight and $1000 for international, and all must be US students flying on US carriers. There is a competitive selection process and the students are required to provide follow-up documentation on their experience. This is the fourth iteration of this graduate student funding request; earlier ones have brought students into the field who are now leaders in education and innovation.
