This Science and Society Grant in the History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Science supports renewal funds to permit the History of Science Society (HSS), the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT), the Philosophy of Science Association (PSA) and the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) to provide travel awards to graduate students, independent scholars, and junior scholars with little or no access to funding to attend the professional meetings of the societies during the five-year period 2006-2010. Funding of this proposal will not only enhance the intellectual content and depth of science studies, it will also broaden the impact of the field. The intellectual benefits can be measured by surveying the conferences of each society over the past ten years, years in which NSF monies have been used to assist travel. Representation amonggraduate students and independent scholars in the programs has been significant, representing a generation of scholars who have been inducted into the profession. The intellectual benefits have flowed in at least two directions: society conferences have been richer and more diverse with participation by these scholars, and these scholars' research and careers, as they have testified, have been helped by this participation. Suchprofessionalization is crucial since these younger scholars will be teaching at the major research universities, as well as liberal arts colleges, community colleges, and other schools, for many years to come. The impact of their teaching will not be limited to the United States. The NSF travel grants have been a major orce in facilitating international exchange, allowing scholars to travel overseas as they share their research. This not only allows for broad impact, it also enhances the intellectual quality of the meetings, allowing diverse viewpoints and interpretations of science. With increasing competition from abroad, it is important that HSS, SHOT, PSA, and 4S, and their largely US membership be able to share ideas and questions about science and its influence on society.

科学史、哲学和社会研究领域的科学与社会补助金支持更新资金，以允许科学史协会 (HSS)、技术史协会 (SHOT)、科学哲学协会 (PSA) 和科学社会研究学会 (4S) 向 2006-2010 年五年期间很少或没有资金参加学会专业会议的研究生、独立学者和初级学者提供旅行奖励。该提案的资助不仅将增强科学研究的知识内容和深度，还将扩大该领域的影响。智力收益可以通过调查过去十年中每个协会的会议来衡量，在这十年中，国家科学基金会的资金被用于资助旅行。这些项目中研究生和独立学者的代表性非常重要，代表了进入该专业的一代学者。智力收益至少朝两个方向流动：由于这些学者的参与，学会会议变得更加丰富和多样化，而且正如他们所证明的那样，这些学者的研究和职业生涯也因这种参与而得到了帮助。这种专业化至关重要，因为这些年轻学者将在未来许多年里在主要研究型大学以及文理学院、社区学院和其他学校任教。他们的教学影响不会仅限于美国。美国国家科学基金会的旅行补助金一直是促进国际交流的主要力量，允许学者前往海外分享他们的研究成果。这不仅可以产生广泛的影响，还可以提高会议的知识质量，允许对科学提出不同的观点和解释。随着来自国外的竞争日益激烈，HSS、SHOT、PSA 和 4S 及其主要美国成员能够分享有关科学及其对社会影响的想法和问题，这一点非常重要。
