Introduction: The PI requests funds on behalf of HSS (the History of Science Society), of which he is the Executive Director, to underwrite the cost of twenty-five graduate students, independent scholars, and junior scholars who are US nationals to attend the 23rd International Congress of History of Science in Budapest, Hungary, in July 2009; the Congress is sponsored by IUHPS (the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science). The travel funds will facilitate their attendance at the meeting to participate in sessions, meet overseas colleagues, and lay the foundation for new research collaborations and scholarly activities. Modest funds are also requested to continue membership in IUHPS on behalf of the four principal US-based societies that sponsor and support science studies: the History of Science Society, the Philosophy of Science Association, the Society for the History of Technology, and the Society for Social Studies of Science.Intellectual Merit: The Congress is hosted by IUHPS, one of the most significant vehicles for fostering international opportunities and exchanges in the field. While meetings of HSS and closely related organizations do attract foreign scholars, the international congresses bring together a far wider range of scholars from widely dispersed geographic regions and diverse intellectual approaches. Moreover, the Congress tends to emphasize fields, including the history of geography, that are less frequently addressed in North American meetings involving the history of science. NSF has supported travel to the International Congress for many years, and regards such funds as critical for ensuring that US-based scholars most in need of support to have the opportunity to engage with the international community of historians of science. The dues payment serves to facilitate the participation of consortium members at the Congress meetings.Broader Impact: The intellectual merit and broader impacts of this proposal are intimately connected, since the relevant activities focus on fostering intellectual collaboration and exchange in the area of science studies in an attempt to enrich and diversify the field both globally and in the United States. In addition, the travel grants for graduate students, junior faculty and independent scholars, is an investment in the future of science studies in the United States.

简介：PI 代表 HSS（科学史学会）（他是该学会的执行董事）申请资金，以承担 25 名美国公民的研究生、独立学者和初级学者参加本次会议的费用。 2009 年 7 月，第 23 届国际科学史大会在匈牙利布达佩斯举行；大会由IUHPS（国际科学历史与科学哲学联盟）主办。旅费将方便他们出席会议、参加会议、会见海外同事，并为新的研究合作和学术活动奠定基础。代表美国四个主要赞助和支持科学研究的学会，还需要适度的资金来继续成为 IUHPS 会员：科学史学会、科学哲学学会、技术史学会和科学史学会。科学社会研究。智力价值：大会由 IUHPS 主办，IUHPS 是促进该领域国际机会和交流的最重要工具之一。虽然 HSS 和密切相关组织的会议确实吸引了外国学者，但国际会议汇集了来自广泛分散的地理区域和不同知识方法的更广泛的学者。此外，国会倾向于强调包括地理学史在内的领域，而这些领域在涉及科学史的北美会议中很少涉及。美国国家科学基金会多年来一直支持参加国际大会，并认为此类资金对于确保最需要支持的美国学者有机会与国际科学史学家界接触至关重要。会费的支付旨在促进联盟成员参加大会会议。 更广泛的影响：该提案的智力价值和更广泛的影响密切相关，因为相关活动的重点是促进科学研究领域的智力合作和交流试图在全球和美国丰富和多样化该领域。此外，为研究生、初级教师和独立学者提供的旅费补助是对美国科学研究未来的投资。
