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

2019年电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）全球通信会议（GLOBECOM 2019）将于2019年12月9日至13日在美国夏威夷大岛威科罗亚举行。这个卓越的技术会议是IEEE通信协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。它被该领域的研究人员和实践者广泛参加。参加像Globecom这样的会议对研究生和本科生的发展至关重要。参与者有机会展示他们的工作，参加小组和主题会议，并与该领域的数百名其他前沿研究人员进行互动。该提案为大约16名在美国的研究生和本科生参加这次首映式会议提供旅费支持。旅行奖将优先考虑第一次参加会议的学生和少数族裔学生，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，而他们的旅行资金往往有限。研究界和工程工作人员受益于学生在管道中的改进，并引入新的研究人员的观点。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
