项目摘要

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.

第九届国际甲壳动物大会将于 2018 年 5 月在华盛顿特区举行，会议将首次以古生物学为主题的技术会议。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和研究化石记录的生物学家之间的差距。这两个群体的相互作用对于增进我们对进化和灭绝模式的理解以及将与生物多样性相关的问题置于历史背景中至关重要。甲壳类动物是经济上特别重要的群体，更全面地了解它们的历史和群落互动将促进精细化管理程序。该奖项将支持 10 名学生和业余科学家的参与。该项目的目标是支持 10 名受益人的会议注册和生活费用，以及支付实地考察的费用，实地考察将刺激参与者之间的互动，并可能导致新的研究问题的产生。有关此支持的申请程序的公告将通过已建立的邮件列表和网站尽可能广泛地广播。申请将根据其拟议贡献的性质和重要性以及支持的需要进行评判。会议结果摘要将广泛提交给古生物学界和生物界。最后，参加大会的学生和业余科学家将受益于扩大的网络和额外的专业发展机会。
