Support for the Student Paper Competitions at the 2003 IEEE AP-S International Symposium and USNC/URSI North American Radio Science Meeting, Columbus, Ohio 6/22-27/03

本项目为将于2003年6月22日至27日在俄亥俄州哥伦布市举行的2003年IEEE AP-S国际研讨会和USNC/URSI北美无线电科学会议的学生论文竞赛申请资金支持。申请金额为6,000美元，为IEEE AP-S学生论文竞赛的8名优秀者提供平均每人750美元的旅行补贴。IEEE AP-S提供各种形式的财政支持，包括帮助寻找低成本住房，但不报销差旅费。如果没有经济资助，许多被选中参加这些学生论文比赛的年轻科学家和工程师将无法参加会议。PI认为，这些最有才华的新研究人员带着新鲜和创新的想法出席会议，与那些更有经验的人讨论他们的工作是很重要的。

0243461BurkholderThis project requests funding support for the Student Paper Competitions at the 2003 IEEE AP-S International Symposium and USNC/URSI North American Radio Science Meeting, to be held in Columbus, Ohio on June 22 to 27, 2003.A requested sum of $6,000 provides a travel subsidy averaging $750 per person to 8 top applicants in the IEEE AP-S Student Paper Competition. The IEEE AP-S provides financial support of various forms including assistance in finding low-cost housing, but does not reimburse travel expenses.Without financial assistance many young scientists and engineers selected to participate in these student paper competitions will not be able to attend the conference. The PI believes it is important that these most talented new researchers be present with fresh and innovative ideas to discuss their work with those who have more experience.
