 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this conference travel grant proposal is to secure funds to facilitate undergraduate student involvement in the biennial International Conference on Infant Studies. Meetings are held every two years in spring or summer, both in U.S. and international locations. Undergraduates play a large role in infant research, and the goal of this initiative is to provide support for them to attend the conferences. From previously NICHD funded R13 initiatives, there is evidence that such attendance encourages students to pursue developmental science in graduate school or other allied disciplines. Moreover, we believe it allows students to see the central role of science in the study of development. Related to the central goal of this initiative is to make it possible for students from under-represented groups to attend the meetings and continue their involvement in science. The future success of the field of infancy research depends on diversity of researchers, participants, and questions. This initiative dovetails nicely with national efforts to engage undergraduate students in science and to encourage their continued engagement following graduation. This initiative also aligns well with the efforts of the International Congress on Infant Studies (ICIS), the organization that sponsors the biennial conferences. Promotion of undergraduate research experiences will result in the next generation of infancy researchers. This proposal seeks to support student travel to the next three conferences - 2016, 2018, and 2020 - with $15,000 per conference (total request is $45,000). This funding rate should be enough to help offset travel expenses for 10-20 undergraduate presenters per meeting. Additionally, the ICIS will provide a reduced conference registration fee for undergraduate attendees, networking opportunities for undergraduates to learn about graduate school and post-college employment, and a $200 cash reward and a plaque to the author of the best overall undergraduate paper.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本次会议旅行补助金提案的目的是确保资金支持本科生参与每两年春季或夏季在美国和国际地点举行的国际婴儿研究会议。本科生在婴儿研究中发挥着重要作用，该计划的目标是为他们参加会议提供支持。从之前 NICHD 资助的 R13 计划来看，有证据表明，这种出席鼓励学生在研究生院或大学攻读发展科学。此外，我们相信它可以让学生看到科学在发展研究中的核心作用，这一举措的核心目标是让来自代表性不足的群体的学生能够参加会议并继续。婴儿研究领域未来的成功取决于研究人员、参与者和问题的多样性，这一举措与国家鼓励本科生继续参与科学的努力相吻合。与国际组织的努力非常契合婴儿研究大会 (ICIS)，该组织 赞助每两年一次的会议。促进本科生研究经验将培养下一代婴儿研究人员。该提案旨在支持学生参加接下来的三个会议 - 2016 年、2018 年和 2020 年 - 每次会议费用为 15,000 美元（总请求为 45,000 美元）。该资助率应足以帮助抵消每次会议 10-20 名本科生演讲者的差旅费用。此外，ICIS 将提供减少的会议注册费用。本科生参加费，为本科生提供了解研究生院和大学毕业后就业的交流机会，以及 200 美元的现金奖励和颁发给最佳本科生论文作者的牌匾。
