To promote the progress of science, the STEM community needs to identify and develop the next generation of scientists by engaging students in premier scientific conferences. IEEE Cluster conference series, an international event for presenting the research results, problem solutions, and insights on new challenges in high performance computing in general and cluster computing in particular, has been pursuing this mission by seeking to increase student participation in the conference and the cluster computing field. To this end, the student program at the Cluster conference has taken a new form -- it now provides a comprehensive means for students to improve their overall research skills and planning rather than just presenting posters and papers. By attending the student program, students can now obtain unique experiences and interactions with academic and industry researchers in the cluster computing community. By presenting their own work in special sessions, students receive valuable feedback from both fellow students and experienced researchers working in the field of cluster computing. By meeting with the authors of candidate best papers, students are given the opportunity to learn about the latest research results in their area, and to explore interest in new areas of cluster computing. The overall exposure to research through the IEEE Cluster student program promotes foundational understanding of scientific methods, which will serve the students well throughout their careers, and is aligned with NSF's mission of promoting progress of science.This award will support the travel of up to 20 students from US-based institutions to participate in the student program at IEEE Cluster 2017. The student program at IEEE Cluster 2017 will include multiple sessions scheduled during the lunch breaks and after the end of the regular sessions. The sessions will target research presentation training, research experience and career guidance, industry interaction, and feedback from the best paper candidates. Travel grants will particularly encourage the research interests and the involvement of students in the field who are not well funded and those who are just beginning their participation in the field or are interested in entering it. Particular effort will be made to solicit applications for the travel support from female students and students from under-represented communities by reaching out to graduate programs of computer science and engineering departments at universities who are members of the National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering and Science (GEM).

为了促进科学进步，STEM社区需要通过吸引学生参加主要的科学会议来确定和培养下一代科学家。IEEE集群会议系列是一个展示高性能计算特别是集群计算新挑战的研究结果、问题解决方案和见解的国际活动，一直在通过寻求增加学生对会议和集群计算领域的参与来实现这一使命。为此，集群会议上的学生计划采取了一种新的形式--它现在为学生提供了一种全面的手段来提高他们的整体研究技能和规划，而不仅仅是展示海报和论文。通过参加学生计划，学生现在可以获得独特的体验，并与集群计算社区的学术和行业研究人员进行互动。通过在特别会议上介绍他们自己的工作，学生们从同学和在集群计算领域工作的经验丰富的研究人员那里收到了宝贵的反馈。通过会见候选最佳论文的作者，学生们有机会了解他们所在领域的最新研究成果，并探索对集群计算新领域的兴趣。通过IEEE集群学生计划对研究的总体接触促进了对科学方法的基础理解，这将在学生的整个职业生涯中很好地服务于学生，并与NSF促进科学进步的使命保持一致。该奖项将支持来自美国机构的最多20名学生参加IEEE集群2017的学生计划。2017年IEEE集群的学生计划将包括在午休期间和常规课程结束后安排的多个课程。这些会议将针对研究陈述培训、研究经验和职业指导、行业互动以及最佳论文候选人的反馈。旅费补助金将特别鼓励那些没有充足资金的学生和那些刚刚开始参与该领域或有兴趣参与该领域的学生的研究兴趣和参与。将特别努力征集女学生和来自代表性不足社区的学生的旅行支助申请，办法是接触大学计算机科学和工程系的研究生课程，这些课程是全国少数族裔工程和科学研究生学位联盟(GEM)的成员。
