UCGIS Summer Assembly and Retreat: Support for Graduate Student Travel

SBR-9617695该奖项支持向美国院校的研究生提供小额旅行津贴，以帮助他们出席和参加1997年地理信息科学大学联盟年会。被支持的学生将根据他们计划在大会上发表的2000字的演讲摘要的小组审查来选择。不会向集会(将在缅因州举行)250英里以内的学生发放助学金。大会有两个组成部分：研究人员和学生之间交流研究成果和进展(他们的陈述将纳入会议)，以及确定地理信息科学跨学科领域教育(主要是大学和研究生)的优先事项。这个小奖项实现了NSF的两个主要目标：开发和传播改进的科学分析工具，以及研究和教育的整合。

SBR-9617695 This award supports the provision of small travel grants to graduate students from U.S. institutions to assist their attendance and participation in the 1997 Annual Assembly of the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science. Students to be so supported will be selected on the basis of a panel review of their 2000-word abstracts of the presentations they plan to make at the assembly. Grants will not be made to students based within 250 miles of the assembly (to be held in Maine). The assembly has two components: the exchange of research findings and progress among researchers and students (their presentations are to be integrated within sessions), and the identification of priorities for education (primarily college and graduate) in the interdisciplinary field of geographic information science. This small award fulfills two major goals of NSF: the development and dissemination of improved tools for scientific analysis, and the integration of research and education.
