MEETING: International Congress of Vertebrate Morphology, July 8-12, Barcelona, Spain

该奖项将支持学生、博士后和早期教师参加2013年7月8日至12日在西班牙巴塞罗那举行的第十届国际脊椎动物形态学大会。形态，即研究形状或形状的学科，是包括发育生物学、生物力学、古生物学和进化生物学在内的各种生物学研究的基础领域。研讨会的主题是前瞻性和跨学科的，包括关于人的进化、鼻子的功能和进化、肌肉的非收缩成分的功能以及3-D数据的管理和分析的会议。大会将汇集来自世界各地的该领域的领导者、学生和博士后研究员，以及来自相关学科的综合科学家。会议的国际性是学生、博士后研究人员和初级教员与非美国研究人员开展富有成效的合作的绝佳机会，并对不同国家的科学研究和基础设施的开展获得新的见解和观点。这笔资金将用于部分抵消出席会议的25名演讲者的旅费和登记费。通过这一奖项提供的旅行支持将旨在扩大对会议的参与，确保更多的妇女和代表人数不足的美国研究人员团体的成员能够出席。大会的其他更广泛的影响包括(1)研究的整合和交流，(2)通过鼓励伙伴关系和合作来加强研究基础设施，以及(3)通过出版摘要和海报来广泛传播研究。这些海报将通过开放源码的1000人学院网站提供。

This award will support participation of students, postdocs, and early-career faculty in the 10th International Congress of Vertebrate Morphology, Barcelona, Spain, July 8th -12th, 2013. Morphology, the study of form or shape, is the foundational field for a diversity of areas of biological research including developmental biology, biomechanics, paleontology and evolutionary biology. Symposium topics are forward looking and interdisciplinary, and include sessions on Hominin evolution, the function and evolution of the nose, the function of non-contractile components of muscle and the curation and analysis of 3-D data. The Congress will bring together leaders in the field from around the world, students and post-doctoral fellows, and integrative scientists from related disciplines. The international nature of the meeting is an excellent opportunity for students, postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty to develop productive collaborations with non-US researchers and to gain new insights and perspectives about the conduct of scientific research and infrastructure in different countries. The funding will be used to partially offset the travel and registration costs for 25 presenters at the meeting. Travel support provided through this award will be aimed at broadening participation in the meeting ensuring that greater numbers of women and members of underrepresented groups of US researchers will be able to attend. Among other broader impacts of the Congress will be the (1) integration and communication of research, (2) enhancement of research infrastructure through the encouragement of partnerships and collaborations, and (3) broad dissemination of research through publication of abstracts and posters. The posters will be available through the open source Faculty of 1000 web site.
