Conference Grant: Student Travel Awards for 2016 IEEE Radar Conference. To be held in Philadelphia, PA from May 2 to 6, 2016.

IEEE雷达会议是由IEEE航空航天和电子系统协会主办的年度雷达旗舰会议。 2016年IEEE雷达会议将于2016年5月2日至5月6日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行。 预计约有500名与会者。 该基金将为研究生提供部分差旅支持，以便他们在会议上展示自己的工作，与同事建立联系，并接触雷达信号处理和雷达系统开发的最新研究活动。 旅行赠款将以竞争方式颁发给将在会议上发表论文的美国大学研究生。 会议组织委员会已承诺利用企业赞助商的资金，一对一地匹配NSF的支持。 NSF的这笔赠款将使美国早期职业研究人员受益，使他们能够获得在顶级会议上展示工作的经验，了解雷达研究和新兴应用的最新发展，并与国际雷达社区建立联系，从而为未来的合作提供机会。 鼓励研究生参与可能会对美国机构的雷达研究产生重大影响，不仅在传统的国防相关应用中，而且在新兴的民用和商业应用中，包括汽车防撞、医疗诊断和非侵入式患者监测。

The IEEE Radar Conference is an annual flagship conference on radar sponsored by the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society. The 2016 IEEE Radar Conference will be held in Philadelphia, PA from May 2 to May 6, 2016. Approximately 500 attendees are expected. This NSF grant will provide partial travel support for graduate students to present their work at the conference, network with colleagues, and gain exposure to the latest research activities in radar signal processing and radar system development. The travel grants will be awarded competitively to graduate students from US universities who will be presenting papers at the conference. The conference organizing committee has pledged to match NSF support on a one-to-one basis using funds from corporate sponsors. This NSF grant will benefit early-career US researchers by enabling them to gain experience in presenting their work at a top-tier conference, to learn about the latest developments in radar research and emerging applications, and to network with the international radar community that can lead to future collaboration opportunities. Encouraging graduate student participation could have a significant impact on radar research in US institutions in not only traditional defense-related applications, but also emerging civil and commercial applications, including automotive collision avoidance, medical diagnostics, and non-invasive patient monitoring.
