Research to understand the complexities of human development occurs in a diverse array of fields. Whereas specialization within a field is essential to address research questions at a deep level, this has resulted in fragmented silos of knowledge. However, innovations are catalyzed when research intentionally integrates multiple disciplines and is conceptualized with policymakers, practitioners, and the community (e.g., transdisciplinary, multisector research). Despite its importance, transdisciplinary, multisector research is difficult to achieve. This project provides funding to support the attendance of early career and underrepresented scholars at a conference specifically focused on catalyzing innovative, transdisciplinary, multisector research and a 6-month follow up meeting at a preconference before the Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) Biennial Meeting. This conference upends the traditional conference model by providing opportunities to pursue training, mentorship, and structured space to foster new collaborations across attendees’ disciplinary training and is integrative among researchers, community agencies, and practitioners. This conference emphasizes the process of building and sustaining multidisciplinary and multisector collaborations. To achieve this, keynote speakers and plenary sessions will focus on how to develop transdisciplinary, multisector teams and projects. The main impetus of the conference emerges from the Working Roundtables, whereby attendees are pre-matched based on submissions into transdisciplinary and multisector teams and provided dedicated time and mentorship to develop new innovative transdisciplinary, multisector research ideas. Supporting attendance at this conference will encourage and enable a new generation of transdisciplinary, multisector research focused on understanding and supporting human development in its full and rich complexity.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

了解人类发展复杂性的研究发生在多个领域，而某个领域的专业化对于深入解决研究问题至关重要，这导致了知识的分散化，然而，当研究有意整合时，创新就会被催化。跨学科、多部门研究尽管很重要，但很难实现，并与政策制定者、从业者和社区共同构想。职业和代表性不足的学者参加了一次专门致力于促进创新、跨学科、多部门研究的会议，并在儿童发展研究学会 (SRCD) 双年度会议之前的会前会议上举行了为期 6 个月的后续会议。提供寻求培训、指导和结构化空间的机会，以促进与会者跨学科培训的新合作，并在研究人员、社区机构和从业者之间进行整合。本次会议强调建立和维持多学科和实践的过程。为了实现这一目标，主旨演讲者和全体会议将重点讨论如何发展跨学科、多部门团队和项目。会议的主要推动力来自工作圆桌会议，因此与会者将根据跨学科和多部门的提交内容进行预先匹配。团队并提供专门的时间和指导来开发新的创新的跨学科、多部门研究想法，支持参加本次会议将鼓励和促进新一代的跨学科、多部门研究，重点是理解和支持人类发展。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
