Student Travel Support for IEEE Radar Conference 2017; Seattle, WA, May 8-12, 2017

IEEE雷达会议是由IEEE航空航天和电子系统协会主办的关于雷达系统和信号处理的年度旗舰会议。2017年IEEE雷达大会将于2017年5月8日至5月12日在华盛顿州西雅图举行。预计约有450至500名与会者。雷达对美国来说是一项重要的技术，用于国防、安全、交通、天气监测和许多其他新兴应用，包括防撞汽车雷达、自动驾驶汽车、非侵入性患者监测和医疗成像/诊断。为了支持下一代雷达技术科学家和工程师的培训，这项NSF拨款将为研究生提供部分旅费支持，以便他们在会议上发表研究论文，学习雷达系统的前沿研究和开发。旅行补助金将竞争性地颁发给来自美国大学的研究生，这些研究生将在会议上发表论文。获奖者将由会议委员会选出，论文质量将在评选过程中予以考虑。会议组织委员会承诺将从企业赞助商那里获得与国家科学基金会相同数量的资金。总金额将支持至少15名获奖者。

The IEEE Radar Conference is an annual flagship conference on radar systems and signal processing, sponsored by the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society. The 2017 IEEE Radar Conference will be held in Seattle, WA from May 8 to May 12, 2017. About 450 to 500 attendees are expected. Radar is an important technology to the United States (US) and is used in defense, security, transportation, weather monitoring, and many other emerging applications including collision-avoidance automobile radar, self-driving vehicles, non-invasive patient monitoring, and medical imaging/diagnostics. To support the training of the next generation scientists and engineers working on radar technologies, this NSF grant will provide partial travel support for graduate students to present their research papers at the conference and learn the cutting-edge research and development in radar systems. The travel grants will be awarded competitively to graduate students from US universities who will be presenting papers at the conference. The awardees will be selected by a committee of the conference and the paper quality will be considered in the selection process. The conference organizing committee has pledged to match NSF support with the same amount of funds from corporate sponsors. The total amount of funds will support a minimum of 15 awardees.
