Travel Support for the Organizational Communication and Information Systems Doctoral Consortium

这笔资金用于支持一个由大约25名来自美国和国外的有前途的研究生组成的博士联盟（研讨会），以及一个由大约5名杰出的研究教师导师组成的小组。该活动将与管理学院（AOM） 2012年会议同时举行，并将于8月3日至4日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。这是介绍和讨论管理和组织研究的主要国际论坛，来自世界各地的约6,000名专业人士参加了会议。有关会议的更多信息，请访问http://meetings.aomonline.org/2012/.The组织沟通与信息系统（OCIS）博士联盟是一个以研究为重点的会议，自2000年以来每年在AOM会议上举行，并帮助许多杰出的研究人员在组织沟通和信息系统方面启动了职业生涯。该研讨会的目标包括建立一个新研究人员的队列小组，这些新研究人员随后将拥有一个遍布世界各地的同事网络，通过让研究领域的专家给他们提供建议来指导新研究人员的工作，并使有希望进入该领域的新进入者有可能参加他们的研究会议。学生参与者将在研讨会期间正式展示他们的研究，并将收到教师小组的反馈。反馈是为了帮助学生理解和表达他们的工作相对于其他OCIS研究是如何定位的，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和呈现。学生参与者将于8月3日至4日向博士联盟展示他们的工作，并计划在会议的技术项目（8月5日至7日）期间开展后续活动。OCIS会议管理委员会将对博士联盟进行评估，结果将提供给未来联盟的组织者。OCIS博士联合会非常成功地为青年博士学者的初步社会化提供了一个论坛；今天的许多主要研究人员作为学生参加了早期的联盟。更广泛的影响：一年一度的OCIS博士联盟传统上汇集了组织通信和信息系统领域的下一代最好的研究人员，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一个社会网络。鼓励所有研究与ocis相关的博士生申请，无论他们在哪个领域获得学位。虽然国家科学基金会的资金将主要用于支持在美国注册研究生项目的学生的参与，但一些国际参与者也可能得到支持，因为OCIS领域包含世界不同地区不同的教育和文化传统。组织者将明确确定并尽可能广泛地纳入高素质的参与者群体，特别是在参与者选择过程中考虑性别。作为这些步骤的结果，学生和教师参与者将构成一个不同维度的多元化群体，这将有助于拓宽学生的视野，以造福该领域的未来。

This is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) of approximately 25 promising graduate students from the United States and abroad, along with a panel of about 5 distinguished research faculty mentors. The event will take place in conjunction with the Academy of Management (AOM)'s 2012 Conference and will be held August 3-4 in Boston, MA. This is the leading international forum for the presentation and discussion of research about management and organizations, and is attended by approximately 6,000 professionals from around the world. More information about the conference is available at http://meetings.aomonline.org/2012/.The Organizational Communication and Information Systems (OCIS) Doctoral Consortium is a research-focused meeting that has taken place annually at the AOM conference since 2000, and has helped to launch the careers of many outstanding researchers in organizational communication and information systems. Goals of the workshop include building a cohort group of new researchers who will then have a network of colleagues spread out across the world, guiding the work of new researchers by having experts in the research field give them advice, and making it possible for promising new entrants to the field to attend their research conference. Student participants will make formal presentations of their research during the workshop, and will receive feedback from the faculty panel. The feedback is geared to helping students understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to other OCIS research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Student participants will present their work to the doctoral consortium on August 3-4, with follow up activities planned during the technical program of the conference (August 5-7). The OCIS conference management committee will evaluate the doctoral consortium, and the results will be made available to the organizers of future consortia. The OCIS doctoral consortia have been highly successful in providing a forum for the initial socialization into the field of young doctoral scholars; many of today's leading researchers participated as students in earlier consortia.Broader Impacts: The annual OCIS doctoral consortia traditionally bring together the best of the next generation of researchers in organizational communication and information systems, allowing them to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development. Applications are encouraged from all doctoral students whose research is OCIS-related, regardless of the fields in which they are earning their degrees. While NSF funds will be used chiefly to support participation by students enrolled in graduate programs in the United States, some international participants may be supported as well in recognition of the fact that the OCIS field embraces educational and cultural traditions that vary in different parts of the world. The organizers will try explicitly to identify and include the broadest possible group of highly qualified participants, and in particular will consider gender in the participant selection process. 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.
