This fund supports students from US institutions to attend the Doctoral Consortium and the main conference program of IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition (FG 2015) to be held on May 4 2015, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Graduate students play critical roles in conducting innovative and groundbreaking research. The goal of the doctoral consortium is to accelerate the research careers of the junior researchers in the community of image and video-based face, gesture, and body movement recognition. Furthermore, this doctoral consortium serves as an opportunity for graduate students to start building connections in the community, which can significantly prompt their future career. The successful career of graduate students would be imperative to advance the state of the art in new algorithms and applications related to face, gesture, and body motion, leading to new capabilities in areas such as biometrics, interactive systems, surveillance, healthcare, and entertainment. The doctoral consortium allows each participant to present their work to a group of mentors, who provide feedback. The mentors are selected based upon similarity of research interest and their research experience in that area. The event includes a career panel where mentors describe their career paths, providing valuable suggestions to doctoral students. The conference has a dedicated poster session for consortium participants to present their work to conference attendees. These activities encourage more graduate students to directly interact with senior researchers as well as their peers to boost their careers at a critical stage of their development.

该基金支持来自美国机构的学生参加博士生联盟和IEEE自动人脸和手势识别国际会议（FG 2015）的主要会议计划，该会议将于2015年5月4日在斯洛文尼亚卢布尔雅那举行。研究生在进行创新和突破性研究中发挥着关键作用。博士联盟的目标是加速初级研究人员在基于图像和视频的面部，手势和身体运动识别社区的研究事业。此外，这个博士联盟为研究生提供了一个开始在社区建立联系的机会，这可以大大促进他们未来的职业生涯。研究生的成功职业生涯对于推进与面部，手势和身体运动相关的新算法和应用的最新技术水平至关重要，从而在生物识别，交互系统，监控，医疗保健和娱乐等领域产生新的能力。博士联盟允许每个参与者向一组导师介绍他们的工作，导师提供反馈。导师是根据研究兴趣的相似性和他们在该领域的研究经验来选择的。该活动包括一个职业小组，导师们在小组中描述他们的职业道路，为博士生提供宝贵的建议。会议有一个专门的海报会议，供联合体参与者向会议与会者介绍他们的工作。这些活动鼓励更多的研究生直接与高级研究人员以及他们的同龄人互动，以促进他们在发展的关键阶段的职业生涯。
