This proposal requests funding to subsidize student-related travel expenses incurred by US university students attending the 2016 edition of the annual North American Power Symposium (NAPS). NAPS 2016 will be hosted by the University of Denver in Denver, CO, from September 18 to September 20, 2016. NAPS is a nonprofit event with technical sponsorship from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and is aimed primarily at a student audience. Traditionally, the overwhelming majority of papers in NAPS are presented by students. NAPS has been supported by the National Science Foundation in the past, which has positively influenced student participation. Based on the attendance trend from previous years, it is anticipated that the subsidy provided through this grant can significantly increase the number of students participating in NAPS in this year as well. In addition to providing subsidized accommodation for students, the organizers' efforts to foster and encourage student participation include a comprehensive student program, tours of nearby attractions, and a student paper competition with awards. Moreover, measures will be taken to encourage participation of women and underrepresented minorities in NAPS.

该提案要求资助美国大学生参加2016年北美电力研讨会（NAPS）的学生相关差旅费。NAPS 2016将于2016年9月18日至9月20日由丹佛大学主办。NAPS是一个由电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）技术赞助的非营利活动，主要针对学生观众。传统上，NAPS中绝大多数的论文都是由学生提交的。NAPS过去一直得到国家科学基金会的支持，这对学生的参与产生了积极的影响。根据往年的出席率趋势，预计这项津贴提供的资助，亦能大幅增加本年度参加“新伙伴计划”的学生人数。除了为学生提供补贴住宿外，组织者还努力培养和鼓励学生参与，包括全面的学生计划，附近景点的图尔斯旅游，以及学生论文比赛和奖项。此外，还将采取措施鼓励妇女和代表人数不足的少数民族参与《国家反贫穷战略》。
