Project OverviewThis proposal requests funds to enable eight professional societies in history, philosophy, and social studies of science and technology to provide travel grants to graduate students, independent scholars, and junior scholars between 2014 and 2016. The grants would enable these scholars to participate in some of these professional meetings, those that are pertinent to their professional development. Their participation would facilitate the dissemination of their research results and provide opportunities to engage in professional networking.Intellectual MeritSuch professionalization is crucial on several fronts. Younger scholars will be teaching at major research universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges; they are also engaged in curating museum exhibits, working at research institutes, overseeing library collections, and helping with government programs. Independent scholars need to maintain contact with their professional societies to promote intellectual and practical stimulation as they continue to work in museums, research institutes, libraries, and government agencies. Finally, recent PhDs face severe cuts in departmental travel funds; travel grants will facilitate the maintenance of their career trajectories. Assisting these groups serves to enhance the STEM workforce, which in turn serves to advance NSF's core mission by improving science literacy and by enhancing the scientific process. Broader ImpactsThe cooperation that this grant will require will serve to maintain relationships across the eight societies, which represent divergent fields. It also facilitates international interactions enabling scholars to travel overseas as they share their research and develop networks. This exchange enhances the intellectual quality of the meetings, while fostering diverse viewpoints and interpretations of science. As the US sees its share of college enrollees in the world dwindle, it is all the more important that these eight societies, all of them with an international membership with the lion's share of its members in the US, share ideas and questions about science and its influence on society.

项目概述本提案要求提供资金，使历史、哲学和科学技术社会研究领域的八个专业学会能够在 2014 年至 2016 年间向研究生、独立学者和初级学者提供旅费补助。这些补助将使这些学者能够参加其中一些专业会议与他们的职业发展相关。他们的参与将促进他们的研究成果的传播，并提供参与专业网络的机会。智力优点这种专业化在几个方面都至关重要。年轻学者将在主要研究型大学、文理学院和社区学院任教；他们还参与策划博物馆展览、在研究机构工作、监督图书馆藏书以及帮助政府项目。独立学者继续在博物馆、研究机构、图书馆和政府机构工作时，需要与其专业协会保持联系，以促进智力和实践的刺激。最后，最近的博士生面临部门旅行资金的严重削减；旅费补助金将有助于维持他们的职业轨迹。协助这些团体有助于增强 STEM 劳动力，而这反过来又有助于通过提高科学素养和加强科学过程来推进 NSF 的核心使命。更广泛的影响这笔赠款所需的合作将有助于维持代表不同领域的八个协会之间的关系。它还促进了国际互动，使学者能够在分享研究和开发网络的同时出国旅行。这种交流提高了会议的智力质量，同时促进了对科学的不同观点和解释。随着美国在世界上大学入学人数的减少，这八个学会（它们全部都是国际会员，其中大部分会员在美国）分享有关科学和技术的想法和问题就变得更加重要。它对社会的影响。
