2019 Geochronology Gordon Research Conference

首届地质年代学戈登研究会议将于2019年8月在密西西比州沃特维尔举行。会议将吸引处于不同职业阶段的不同科学家群体，报告跨学科研究并开展新的合作。大会高度重视当前的地质年代学能力及其在各种古生物学问题上的应用。此外，这次会议将包括一个重要的深度时间视角，这将不可避免地导致新的见解和未来的研究方向，既新颖又及时。该奖项将支持18名早期职业科学家的参与。该项目的目标是支持18名参与者的旅费和会议费用。其中八位是特邀演讲者，他们的职业生涯还处于早期阶段，他们将在科学会议上得到突出强调，并在会议上担任导师。另外10名职业生涯初期参与者将被选中接受旅行支助，以便他们能够参加会议。这项支持的申请程序的公告将通过既定的邮寄名单和网站尽可能广泛地广播。项目组织者计划了一些辅导活动，包括由GRC赞助的女性科学“权力小时”活动。最后，参与者将有机会与该领域的专家互动，学习尖端方法和方法，并为未来的研究建立他们的合作者网络。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The inaugural Geochronology Gordon Research Conference will be held in Waterville, NH, in August 2019. The meeting will pull in a diverse group of scientists who are at different careers stages to report on cross disciplinary research and develop new collaborations. The congress has a strong emphasis on current geochronological capabilities and their application to a variety of paleontological problems. Further, this meeting will include an important deep-time perspective that will inevitably lead to new insight and future research directions that are both novel and timely. This award will support the participation of 18 early career scientists.The goal of this project is to support travel and meeting expenses for 18 participants. Eight are invited speakers, who are early in their careers and they will be highlighted in the scientific sessions and serve as mentors at the conference. An additional 10 early career participants will be selected to receive travel support so that they can attend the meeting. Announcement of the application procedure for this support will be broadcast as widely as possible through established mailing lists and websites. The program organizers have planned mentoring events, including a GRC sponsored women in science "power hour". Finally, participants will have the opportunity to interact with experts from across the field, to learn cutting edge methods and approaches, and to build their network of collaborators for future research.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.
