Opportunities to present, discuss and receive feedback on scholarship within a broader community are critical components of student professional development. A doctoral consortium and undergraduate student mentoring program are ways to foster meaningful interchanges between scholars at varying levels and nurture career pathways. With a transition to virtual programming for the 2020 International Joint Conference on Biometrics (IJCB 2020) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this award supports the incorporation of a doctoral consortium and undergraduate student mentoring program as part of the conference. IJCB combines two major biometrics research conferences, the Biometrics Theory, Applications, and Systems (BTAS) conference and the International Conference on Biometrics (ICB). The combined conference brings together leading computer vision experts presenting on advances in fundamental biometrics techniques, new biometrics algorithms and technologies, analyses of the social impact of biometrics technology, and identity in behavior analysis. The goals of the doctoral consortium are to highlight the work of advanced Ph.D. students and facilitate feedback by senior members of the professional biometrics community. The goal of the undergraduate student mentoring program is to match undergraduate students majoring in STEM areas with faculty and industry professionals for advisement and networking in biometrics. These activities will broaden participation for undergraduate and doctoral students in the conference and the biometrics professional community at large.IJCB2020 will be held virtually in fall 2020. The doctoral consortium consists of three main components: virtual poster presentations by doctoral participants, individualized feedback by senior members of the community, and breakout sessions on career and professional development topics. The undergraduate student mentoring program supports monthly mentoring sessions in September-December 2020. Student participants and mentors will be recruited through several means, including the conference website, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Biometrics Council, and related organization mailing lists and selected through an application process, with participation encouraged by individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups. Mentor matching will be facilitated through the completion of a survey of geographic locations, mentoring preferences, biometrics areas of interest/experience, and interpersonal preferences. Up to ten students will be supported to participate in the doctoral consortium, and up to thirty undergraduate students will be supported to participate in the undergraduate student mentoring program. The project is complemented by a comprehensive evaluation plan to include surveys from mentors and mentees on the strengths, weaknesses, and impacts.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.

在更广泛的社区中展示，讨论和接收有关奖学金的反馈的机会是学生专业发展的关键组成部分。博士联盟和本科生指导计划是在不同级别的学者和培养职业途径之间建立有意义的互动的方法。由于19020年大流行期间，由于过渡到2020年国际生物识别技术联合会议（IJCB 2020）的虚拟节目，该奖项支持将博士财团和本科生指导计划纳入会议的一部分。 IJCB结合了两个主要的生物识别研究会议，生物识别理论，应用和系统（BTA）会议和国际生物识别学会议（ICB）。联合会议汇集了有关基本生物识别技术进步，新生物识别算法和技术的进步的领先计算机愿景专家，分析了生物识别技术的社会影响以及行为分析中的身份。博士联盟的目标是强调高级博士学位的作品。学生并促进专业生物识别社区的高级成员的反馈。本科生指导计划的目的是与在STEM领域主修主修的本科生与教师和行业专业人员进行生物识别技术的建议和网络。这些活动将扩大会议的本科和博士生的参与，以及Grade.ijcb2020的生物量表专业社区，实际上将在2020年秋季举行。博士联盟由三个主要组成部分组成：博士参与者的虚拟海报演讲，由博士参与者，社区高级成员的个性化反馈以及职业发展和职业发展和职业发展和专业发展的典范。本科生指导计划在2020年9月至12月支持每月指导课程。学生参与者和导师将通过多种方式招募，包括会议网站，电气和电子工程师研究所（IEEE）生物识别委员会，以及相关的组织邮件列表，并通过申请流程进行选择，并通过申请中的个人来调查，并鼓励参与的人群中，由传统的人属于传统的人。通过完成地理位置，指导偏好，兴趣/经验的生物识别领域以及人际关系偏好的调查，将促进导师匹配。将支持多达十名学生参加博士联盟，并支持多达三十名本科生参加本科生指导计划。该项目的补充是一项全面的评估计划，包括对导师和受训者的长处，劣势和影响的调查。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来支持的。
