ICNP 2016, the 24th annual edition of the IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, is a conference covering all aspects of network protocols, including design, analysis, specification,, verification, implementation, and performance. This award partially covers the travel costs of approximately 15 graduate students enrolled in United States academic institutions to attend the conference. ICNP 2016 will be held in Singapore from November 8th to 11th, 2016. Intellectual Merit: This award serves to broaden participation at ICNP by lowering the financial barrier of attendance for graduate students attending institutions in the Unites States. Allowing exposure to a high quality conference at an early stage of a researcher's academic life is an important investment in the future of the field. Providing opportunities for attendance to underrepresented students in particular will result in a greater diversity of ideas discussed or sparked during the conference. Disseminating the latest results around network protocols as well as furthering the knowledge in this area requires maximizing the number of participants at well-established relevant conferences such as ICNP and targeting a wide variety of researchers. The goal of this award is to assist in both efforts by increasing the number of attendees at ICNP and encouraging women and minorities to participate in such a high quality research event. Broader Impacts: Research in network protocols is advanced by the interactions of participants at conferences such as ICNP. The requested travel support will have a significant impact in at least three ways. First, graduate students that would have been unable otherwise to attend ICNP will be benefited by following the speaker's talks and participating in resulting discussions. Second, ICNP participants in general will indirectly benefit by the presence of the grant recipients. Since the award committee will make an effort to select a diverse group of students, the demographics of the conference will become more diverse as well. Finally, the research community as a whole will be positively impacted by the continuing success of the ICNP. The participation of scholars at early stages of their careers, some of which are coming from underrepresented groups, will advance training and the quality of the next generation of research leaders in the field.

ICNP 2016是IEEE网络协议国际国际会议的第24届年度版，是涵盖网络协议的各个方面的会议，包括设计，分析，规范，验证，实施和性能。该奖项部分涵盖了美国学术机构参加会议的大约15名研究生的旅行费用。 ICNP 2016将于2016年11月8日至11日在新加坡举行。知识分子优点：该奖项通过降低了在Unites州的机构的研究生的出勤障碍，从而扩大了ICNP的参与。在研究人员的学术生活的早期阶段允许接触高质量的会议是该领域未来的重要投资。为特别是代表性不足的学生提供出勤的机会将导致会议期间讨论或引发的更多想法。围绕网络协议的最新结果以及在该领域的知识中开展最新结果，需要最大程度地提高公认的相关会议（例如ICNP）和针对各种研究人员的参与者的数量。该奖项的目的是通过增加ICNP的与会者人数，并鼓励妇女和少数民族参加这样的高质量研究活动，以协助两项努力。更广泛的影响：网络协议中的研究是由ICNP等会议上的参与者的相互作用提出的。所请求的旅行支持将至少三种方式产生重大影响。首先，否则本来将无法参加ICNP的研究生将通过遵循演讲者的演讲并参加由此产生的讨论而受益。其次，一般而言，ICNP参与者将通过赠款接受者的存在间接受益。由于颁奖委员会将努力选择各种各样的学生，因此会议的人口统计学也将变得更加多样化。最后，整个研究界将受到ICNP持续成功的积极影响。学者在职业生涯的早期阶段的参与，其中一些来自代表性不足的群体，将提高培训和该领域的下一代研究领导者的质量。
