The 9th International Crustacean Congress will be held in Washington, DC, in May 2018 and for the first time, technical sessions featuring paleontology will be a part of the meetings. Research presented at this meeting will bridge the gap between biologists studying modern organisms and those examining the fossil record. The interaction of these two groups is critical to increasing our understanding of patterns of evolution and extinction, as well as placing questions related to biodiversity in an historical context. Crustaceans are a particularly important group economically, and more fully understanding their history and their community interactions will promote refined management procedures. This award will support the participation of 10 student and avocational scientists. The goal of this project is to support meeting registration and subsistence costs for 10 recipients, as well as defray the costs of a field trip that will stimulate interaction between participants and likely lead to the generation of novel research questions. Announcement of the application procedure for this support will be broadcast as widely as possible through established mailing lists and websites. Applications will be judged on the nature and significance of their proposed contribution as well as need for support. A summary of the results of the meetings will be submitted broadly amongst the paleontological and biological communities. Finally, student and avocational scientists who participate in the congress will benefit from an increased network and additional professional development opportunities.

第9届国际甲壳类大会将于2018年5月在华盛顿特区举行，这是首次以古生物学为特色的技术会议。在这次会议上提出的研究将弥合研究现代生物体的生物学家与检查化石记录的生物的差距。这两个群体的相互作用对于增加我们对进化和灭绝模式的理解以及在历史背景下提出与生物多样性有关的问题至关重要。在经济上，甲壳类动物是一个特别重要的群体，更充分地了解他们的历史和社区互动将促进精致的管理程序。该奖项将支持10位学生和宣传科学家的参与。 该项目的目的是支持10名接收者满足注册和生存成本，并支配实地考察的成本，这将刺激参与者之间的互动，并可能导致新的研究问题产生。通过已建立的邮件列表和网站，将尽可能广泛地广播此支持的申请程序。申请将根据其拟议贡献的性质和意义以及支持的需求来判断。会议结果的摘要将在古生物学和生物社区中广泛提交。最后，参加国会的学生和宣布科学家将受益于增加的网络和更多的专业发展机会。
