Travel Support for the 2021 American Control Conference; New Orleans, Louisiana; May 26-28, 2021

这笔赠款将为来自控制科学和工程领域代表性不足群体的40至200名学生提供机会，无论是实物还是虚拟方式参加2021年美国控制会议(ACC)，他们将在那里听讲座，展示他们的研究成果，并与该领域的其他学生、教师和专业人员建立网络。美国控制会议是国际公认的主要科学和工程会议，致力于推动控制理论和实践的发展。2021年ACC技术计划将包括实物、虚拟或混合活动，包括定期和应邀会议、教程会议和特别会议以及研讨会和展品。本次会议讨论的控制理论和控制应用，包括能源、交通、制造、跨越与国家科学基金使命相关的研究领域。这一奖项将为女性、少数族裔、残疾人、退伍军人、第一代学生和来自非R1机构的学生扩大控制科学和工程领域的机会。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。

This grant will provide the opportunity for between 40 and 200 students from groups underrepresented in control science and engineering to attend the 2021 American Control Conference (ACC), either physically or virtually, where they will attend lectures, present their research, and network with other students, faculty, and professionals in the field. The American Control Conference is internationally recognized as a premier scientific and engineering conference, dedicated to the advancement of control theory and practice. The 2021 ACC technical program will comprise physical, virtual, or hybrid activities, including presentations in regular and invited sessions, tutorial sessions, and special sessions along with workshops and exhibits. Control theory and control applications considered in this conference, including energy, transportation, manufacturing, span research areas relevant to the mission of the National Science Foundation. This award will expand the opportunities in the fields of control science and engineering for women, minorities, persons with disabilities, veterans, first-generation students, and students from non R1 institutions.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.
