ICNP 2017, the 25th 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 supports partial travel costs for graduate students enrolled in United States academic institutions to attend the conference. Depending on fund availability, postdoctoral researchers and faculty members from underrepresented groups that are employed in US institutions will also be considered for travel support. ICNP 2017 will be held in Toronto, Canada, from October 10th to 13th, 2017. This travel grant aims to broaden ICNP participation by lowering the financial barrier of attendance for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at institutions in the Unites States. Enabling students and postdocs to attend a high-quality conference at an early stage of a researcher's academic career is a wise investment in the future of the field. Providing opportunities for attendance to underrepresented students in particular will result in a greater diversity of ideas that will be discussed during the conference. One goal of this award is to encourage women and minorities to participate in a high-quality research event. Research in network protocols is advanced by the interactions of participants at conferences such as ICNP. The travel support will have a significant impact in at least three ways. First, graduate students who would have been unable otherwise to attend ICNP will be greatly benefited by listening to the speaker's talks and participating in resulting discussions. Second, even the ICNP participants that will not receive the grant will be indirectly benefited 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 come from underrepresented groups, will advance training and the quality of the next generation of research leaders in the field.

ICNP 2017是IEEE网络协议国际会议的第25届年会，涵盖了网络协议的各个方面，包括设计，分析，规范，验证，实现和性能。该奖学金资助在美国学术机构就读的研究生参加会议的部分旅费。根据资金的可用性，来自美国机构中代表性不足的群体的博士后研究人员和教职员工也将被考虑提供差旅支持。ICNP 2017将于2017年10月10日至13日在加拿大多伦多举行。这笔旅费赠款的目的是通过降低美国研究生和博士后研究人员参加研究所的财务障碍，扩大国际自然人方案的参与。让学生和博士后在研究人员学术生涯的早期阶段参加高质量的会议是对该领域未来的明智投资。特别是为代表性不足的学生提供出席机会将导致会议期间讨论的想法更加多样化。该奖项的一个目标是鼓励妇女和少数民族参与高质量的研究活动。网络协议的研究是通过ICNP等会议参与者的互动来推进的。旅行支助将至少在三个方面产生重大影响。首先，研究生谁本来无法参加ICNP将大大受益于听演讲者的讲话，并参与由此产生的讨论。第二，即使是ICNP的参与者将不会收到赠款将间接受益于赠款接受者的存在。由于奖励委员会将努力选择一个多样化的学生群体，会议的人口统计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。学者在其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，将促进培训和该领域的下一代研究领导人的质量。
