Doctoral Colloquium at iConference 2012

这笔资金将用于支持美国博士生和杰出教师导师的旅行，以参加将与2012年在加拿大多伦多举行的iConference共同举办的信息科学研究国际博士联盟。iConference是一个领先的论坛，汇集了教师，学生，研究人员和行业研究人员，他们对支持和增强人类参与信息和技术感兴趣。本次博士研讨会的主要目标是帮助培养下一代信息科学研究人员。2012年iConference博士联盟将为一组约20名研究信息科学（IS）各个方面的博士生提供一个环境，让他们可以在研究的早期阶段分享和讨论他们的目标，方法和结果。它将于2012年2月10日，iConference的最后一天举行。 通过参加博士联盟，学生将获得其他学生和六位杰出教师对他们工作的反馈，使他们能够提高自己的研究建议。学生还将更好地了解从事信息科学研究的不同研究社区，并学习如何在IS社区中定位自己的工作。此外，该联盟将为学生提供超越自己学科的新专业联系的机会。 学生将通过在会议网站上刊登广告，张贴到相关的邮件列表和直接征求在信息科学和相关领域工作的教师招募博士财团。将特别注意确定代表性不足群体的与会者。 要申请该联盟，学生将提交一份1000字的论文，概述他们的研究目标和迄今为止的工作，他们想与其他博士联盟与会者讨论的关键问题的列表，以及他们认为在他们的研究领域突出的人的名字。申请将由联盟主席筛选，以适应IS主题领域，学生研究的发展状况以及研究项目的质量。 更广泛的影响：iConference博士联盟传统上汇集了信息科学及相关领域的下一代最优秀的研究人员，使他们能够在自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员建立社交网络。鼓励广泛的相关学科和方法参与，从而拓宽与会者对研究课题的看法，促进该领域的进步。组织者将明确努力确定和包括尽可能广泛的高素质参与者群体。 作为这些步骤的结果，学生和教师的参与者将构成一个跨各种维度的多元化群体，这将有助于拓宽学生的视野，使该领域的未来受益。

This is funding to support travel for a diverse group of US PhD students and distinguished faculty mentors to participate in an international doctoral consortium on research on information science that will be co-located with the 2012 iConference in Toronto, Canada. The iConference is a leading forum that brings together faculty, students, research staff, and industry researchers who share an interest in supporting and augmenting human engagement with information and technology. The main goal of this Doctoral Colloquium is to help train the next generation of information science researchers.The 2012 iConference Doctoral Consortium will provide a group of approximately 20 PhD students studying all aspects of information science (IS) with an environment in which they can share and discuss their goals, methods and results at an early stage of their research. It will take place on February 10, 2012, the final day of the iConference. By participating in the doctoral consortium, students will gain feedback on their work from other students and six prominent faculty members, allowing them to enhance their own research proposal. Students will also develop a better understanding of the different research communities engaged in the study of information science, and learn how to position their own work within the IS community. In addition, the consortium will provide students with opportunities to make new professional connections beyond their own disciplines. Students will be recruited for the doctoral consortium through advertisement on the conference website, postings to relevant mailing lists and direct solicitation to faculty working in the area of information science and related fields. Particular attention will be placed on identifying participants from under-represented groups. To apply for the consortium, students will submit a 1000 word paper outlining their research goals and work to date, a list of key questions they would like to discuss with other doctoral consortium attendees, and the names of people they consider prominent in their areas of research. Applications will be screened by the consortium chairs for fit to the IS topic area, the state of development of the student's research, and the quality of the research project. Priority will be given to students who have proposed their dissertation topic but not yet attended any doctoral consortia.Broader impacts: The iConference doctoral consortia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of researchers in information science and related areas, allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Participation is encouraged from a broad range of relevant disciplines and approaches, thereby broadening attendees' perspectives on their topics of study and promoting advancement of the field. The organizers will try explicitly to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified participants. As a consequence of these steps, the student and faculty participants will constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, which will help broaden the students' horizons to the future benefit of the field.
