INQUA Congress Travel Fellowship Program

该提案要求部分资金支持美国早期职业科学家的参与(在获得博士学位后的7年内)。以及第十八届国际第四纪研究联盟大会上的研究生。这笔赠款支持的参与者将有机会在大会上展示他们的研究成果，发展国际合作，并了解全球研究倡议。该提案提出了一项宣传这一筹资机会的明确计划，包括向范围广泛的学科和机构以及任职人数不足群体的成员进行宣传。该提案列出了选择获奖者的明确标准。美国在第四纪研究和年轻美国科学家的持续参与方面处于世界领先地位，保持这一领先地位至关重要。第十八届INQUA大会是一个重要的多学科论坛，用于交流科学信息和思想，并基于以往旅行奖获得者的反馈，这是一个有效的场所，可以激励和鼓励美国学生和早期职业科学家有效地解决具有全球影响的问题。美国有效地参与本届大会将建立国际科学伙伴关系，并促进未来的国际合作，以解决美国无法单独解决的重大问题。这项建议将有助于第四纪研究中的科学进步，并将在一个国际论坛上促进美国早期职业科学家的专业发展。

This proposal requests funds to partially support the participation of US early career scientists (within 7 years of earning a Ph.D.) and graduate students at the XVIII International Union for Quaternary Research Congress. The participants supported by this grant will be provided the opportunity to present their research at the Congress, to develop international collaborations, and gain knowledge of global research initiatives. The proposal presents a clear plan for advertisement of this funding opportunity, including outreach to a wide range of disciplines and institutions and members of under-represented groups. Proposal sets out clear criteria on which to select the award recipients.The United States is a world leader in Quaternary research and continued participation by young U.S. scientists it is vital to sustain this leadership. The XVIII INQUA Congress is a key multidisciplinary forum for the exchange of scientific information and ideas and based on feedback from previous travel award recipients, this is an effective venue to inspire and encourage U.S. students and early career scientists to effectively address problems with global impact. Effective U.S. participation in this congress will build international science partnerships and foster future international collaborations to address problems that are far greater than the United States can address on its own. This proposal will contribute to the advancement of science in Quaternary Research and will promote the professional development of US early career scientists in an international forum.
