Visualization, or the use of interactive graphic representations to support data analysis, understanding, and communication, is an increasingly integral enabling technology across a wide array of application areas. This grant provides support for approximately 18 U.S.-based graduate students to participate in the IEEE VIS Doctoral Colloquium to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Visualization Conference (VIS 2019), October 20-25, 2019, in Vancouver, Canada. IEEE VIS is the premier annual international forum for advances in the science and engineering of visualization across academia, government, and industry. IEEE VIS brings together the world's leading researchers and practitioners with a shared interest in techniques, tools, and technology for interactive data analysis, data exploration, and data communication. The focus of the VIS Doctoral Colloquium is advancing PhD students' doctoral dissertation research through mentoring and networking with global research leaders in the science of visualization. Students participating in the Doctoral Colloquium are selected chiefly on the grounds of research excellence, meaning that supported students are advancing the state-of-the-art in the field of visualization. The Doctoral Colloquium provides an opportunity the students' projects to be shaped and improved through intellectual exchange, and for the students themselves to present and communicate the character of their work to a key group of their peer professionals. Since the students and mentors are a diverse group (nationality, gender, ethnicity, scientific discipline, and research specialization), the students' horizons are broadened at a critical stage in their professional development. Supporting participation of U.S. students in the VIS 2019 DC is important for the development of the next generation of researchers, practitioners and educators in this important scientific field. IEEE VIS was established in 1996 and has become the worldwide largest and most important conference on Scientific Visualization, Information Visualization and Visual Analytics. The IEEE VIS conference regularly draws over 1,000 participants from dozens of countries to a week of research presentations, tutorials, workshops, panels, demonstrations, posters, exhibitions and scientific discussions. The IEEE VIS Doctoral Colloquium was initiated in 2006, and has been highly successful in providing mentorship opportunities to leading PhD students at a key time in their scientific development. Students at the Doctoral Colloquium present their doctoral dissertation research and receive feedback from senior professionals in the visualization community. This event provides key feedback that shapes the students' research and professional development, helps the participants build a professional network both among themselves and with senior researchers in the field, and prepares them to emerge as future leaders of the field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

可视化，或使用交互式图形表示来支持数据分析、理解和通信，是一项跨越广泛应用领域的日益不可或缺的使能技术。这笔资金支持大约18名美国研究生参加IEEE VIS博士座谈会，该座谈会将与2019年10月20-25日在加拿大温哥华举行的IEEE可视化会议(VIS 2019)同时举行。IEEE VIS是学术界、政府和工业界在可视化科学和工程方面取得进展的主要年度国际论坛。IEEE VIS汇聚了世界领先的研究人员和从业人员，他们对交互式数据分析、数据探索和数据通信的技术、工具和技术有着共同的兴趣。VIS博士座谈会的重点是通过指导和与可视化科学领域的全球研究领导者建立网络来推进博士生的博士论文研究。参加博士座谈会的学生主要是根据研究优秀程度来选择的，这意味着受资助的学生正在推进可视化领域的最新技术。博士座谈会为学生提供了一个机会，通过智力交流来形成和改进学生的项目，并让学生自己向他们的同行专业人员的关键群体展示和交流他们的工作特点。由于学生和导师是一个不同的群体(国籍、性别、种族、科学学科和研究专业)，学生的视野在他们专业发展的关键阶段得到了开阔。支持美国学生参与VIS 2019 DC对于这一重要科学领域的下一代研究人员、从业者和教育工作者的发展非常重要。IEEE VIS成立于1996年，现已成为全球规模最大、最重要的科学可视化、信息可视化和视觉分析会议。IEEE VIS会议定期吸引来自数十个国家的1000多名与会者参加为期一周的研究报告、教程、研讨会、小组讨论、演示、海报、展览和科学讨论。IEEE VIS博士座谈会于2006年启动，在科学发展的关键时期为领先的博士生提供了非常成功的指导机会。在博士座谈会上，学生们展示了他们的博士论文研究，并收到了可视化社区高级专业人员的反馈。该活动提供关键反馈，塑造学生的研究和专业发展，帮助参与者在他们之间以及与该领域的资深研究人员建立专业网络，并为他们成为该领域的未来领导者做好准备。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
