Strengthening the U.S. Voice in the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS)

美国国家心理学委员会(USNC)代表美国心理科学界，代表美国国家科学院(NAS)参加国际心理科学联合会(IUñS)。美国国家科学基金会/国际心理学会提供了一个宝贵的网络，通过这个网络，国家科学基金会(NSF)和国家科学院提高了它们为全球心理科学研究做出贡献的能力。它也是NAS通过国际活动接触美国科学界的一个工具，这些活动旨在增加心理科学家在国内和国际上的机会，从而帮助创建一支多元化的、面向全球的美国科学劳动力队伍，并使美国能够从全球科学和技术投资中受益。美国参与国际精神卫生组织在国家科学基础设施中发挥着独特的作用。它为美国科学家和外国同事之间的对话提供了一个论坛，通过赞助关于感兴趣的主题的会议和研讨会来促进研究合作和协作，发起双边或地区性研究合作的试点/示范项目，并为年轻科学家和来自美国代表性不足背景的科学家组织旅行补助计划，以参加国际科学大会。

The U.S. National Committee for Psychology (USNC) represents the U.S. psychological science community to the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) on behalf of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The USNC/IUPsyS provides a valuable network through which the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the NAS enhance their capacity to contribute to global research in the psychological sciences. It is also a vehicle through which the NAS can reach out to the U.S. scientific community through international activities that are designed to enhance opportunities for psychological scientists both nationally and internationally, thus helping to create a diverse and globally-oriented U.S. scientific workforce and to position the United States to benefit from global investment in science and technology. U.S participation in IUPsyS fulfills a unique role in the national science infrastructure. It provides a forum for dialogue between U.S. scientists and foreign colleagues, fosters research cooperation and collaboration by sponsoring conferences and workshops on topics of interest, initiates pilot/demonstration projects for bilateral or regional research collaborations, and organizes travel grant programs for young scientists and scientists from underrepresented backgrounds in the U.S. to participate in international scientific congresses.
