NSF Student Travel Grant for 2019 IEEE Global Communications Conference (IEEE GLOBECOM 2019)

2019年电气电子工程师学会(IEEE)全球通信大会(GLOBECOM 2019)将于2019年12月9日至13日在美国夏威夷大岛的怀科洛亚举行。这次卓越的技术会议是IEEE通信学会的两个旗舰会议之一，也是展示通信和网络领域新研究成果的主要场所。它受到了该领域的研究者和实践者的广泛关注。参加Globecom这样的会议对研究生和本科生的发展至关重要。参与者有机会介绍他们的工作，参加小组和主题会议，并与该领域数百名其他前沿研究人员互动。这项提案为大约16名在美国的研究生和本科生提供旅行支持，以参加这次首发会议。旅行奖励将优先考虑第一次参加会议的学生和代表不足的少数族裔学生，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，而且他们的旅行资金往往有限。研究界和工程界受益于学生的进步和新的研究视角的引入。这一奖项反映了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。

The 2019 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM 2019) will be held in Waikoloa on the Big Island, Hawaii, USA, during 9 -13 December 2019. This preeminent technical conference is one of the two flagship conferences of the IEEE Communications Society, and a primary venue for presenting new research results in the area of communications and networking. It is widely attended by researchers and practitioners in the field. Attending conferences such as Globecom is of paramount importance for the development of graduate and undergraduate students. Participants have the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote sessions, and interact with hundreds of other leading-edge researchers in the field. This proposal provides travel support for approximately sixteen graduate and undergraduate students in the United States to attend this premiere conference. The travel awards will give priority considerations to first-time attendees and under-represented minority students, since attending conferences is an important part of their educational experience, and they often have limited travel funds. The research community and the Engineering workforce benefit from the improvement of students in the pipeline, and the introduction of new researcher perspectives.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.
