Early Career Polar Research Conference: Building Collaborative Networks and Providing Professional Training Opportunities to Facilitate Success

新一代的极地研究人员需要对跨学科方法有很强的理解，以了解极地地区的快速变化。下一代极地研究会议（NGPR-3）旨在培训和帮助网络早期职业极地研究人员定位他们的跨学科研究生涯。为期一周的研讨会将在南加州大学的箭牌海洋科学中心举行，这将为新的极地科学家提供一个重要的机会，让他们了解跨学科研究方法的好处，可以更好地为社会和利益相关者提供信息，并了解更多关于极地研究安全有效的后勤保障。5年内博士学位）将从大气科学，海洋生态系统，湖沼学，冰科学，陆地生态系统，地球空间以及政策和经济学等领域中竞争性地选出参加会议。研讨会将旨在促进沟通，团队建设和领导技能，重点是跨学科研究的发展。与会者将获得重要的网络机会，同时参加全体会议，特别会议，海报会议和专业发展培训，由社会科学，自然科学和物理科学研究子领域的高级导师领导。该研讨会有助于NSF的战略目标，以促进更有能力和多样化的研究队伍的增长，并提高国家的科学和创新技能。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

The newest generation of polar-focused researchers will need a strong understanding of interdisciplinary approaches to understand the rapid changes in polar regions. The Next Generation Polar Research Conference (NGPR-3) is designed to train and help network early career polar researchers to position them for interdisciplinary research careers. This week-long symposium, to be held at the University of Southern California's Wrigley Marine Science Center, will provide an important opportunity for newer polar scientists to understand the benefits of interdisciplinary research approaches that can better inform society and stakeholders and to learn more about safe and effective logistics for research in polar regions.Thirty four early career scientists (i.e., within 5 years of Ph.D.) from the fields of atmospheric science, marine ecosystems, limnology, ice science, terrestrial ecosystems, geospace, and policy and economics will be competitively selected to attend the conference. The symposium will be designed to foster communication, team-building and leadership skills with a focus on the development of interdisciplinary research. Participants will gain important networking opportunities while attending plenary talks, special sessions, poster sessions and professional development training led by senior mentors from the research subfields of social sciences, natural sciences and physical sciences. The workshop contributes to NSF's strategic objectives to foster the growth of a more capable and diverse research workforce and advance the scientific and innovation skills of the Nation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
