Travel: Group Travel Grant for the Doctoral Consortium of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

该奖项部分支持来自美国机构的博士联盟学生参加IEEE/CVF计算机视觉和模式识别会议（CVPR），该会议将于2022年6月19日至24日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行。CVPR是计算机视觉领域首屈一指的年度会议，有9000多名高年级、初中和学生参加。它在北美举行，由国际研究界的成员参加。博士联盟的目标是突出在六个月内获得学位的高级博士生（包括应届毕业生）的工作，并给这些学生一个机会与具有相关专业知识和经验的教师和研究人员讨论他们的研究和职业选择。有机会从不同机构的专家那里获得关于他们的研究工作和职业规划的建议，并且可能有不同的观点，这在一个人自己的机构内部通常是不可能的。该项目将支持计算机视觉领域一些最聪明的初级研究人员的职业发展，通过引起对研究生发展的一个重要方面的关注，为整个研究界做出贡献，潜在地增加STEM领域活跃的研究人员和教育工作者的数量，并确保计算机视觉社区通过其最近的毕业生，在解决有利于社会的问题方面取得快速进展。通过团体旅行补助金，该项目确保了不同机构的学生有机会参加，包括来自代表性不足的群体的学生，否则他们将无法参加，并提高了该外展项目对所有与会者的知名度。该奖项将为入选的15-20名美国研究生支付部分参会费用。旅行支持的参与者和接受者由2022年CVPR博士联盟联合主席选择。旅行奖励部分覆盖任何可接受的会议相关费用，如注册、机票、住宿和膳食，最高可达1200美元。预算还包括在博士联盟活动期间为60人（学生参与者和导师）提供的午餐费用。今年的博士联盟是一个混合活动（允许现场和远程参与），特色是海报会议，一对一或小组指导，以及小组讨论。博士联盟的目标是在性别、种族背景、学术机构和地理位置方面拥有来自不同群体的代表。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。

This award partially supports the participation of students from US institutions in the Doctoral Consortium at the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), to be held from June 19 to 24, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana. CVPR is the premier annual conference in computer vision with over 9,000 senior, junior and student participants. It is held in North America and attended by members of the international research community. The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to highlight the work of senior PhD students who are within six months of receiving their degrees (including recent graduates), and to give these students an opportunity to discuss their research and career options with faculty and researchers who have relevant expertise and experience. The opportunity to receive advice on their research work and career plans from experts from different institutions, and with potentially different perspectives, is often not available internally at one's own institution. The project will support the career development of some of the brightest junior researchers in computer vision, contribute to the research community in general by drawing attention to an important aspect of graduate student development, potentially increasing the number of active researchers and educators in STEM, and ensure that the computer vision community, through its recent graduates, makes fast advances in solving problems that will benefit society. Through a group travel grant, this project ensures the opportunity to participate for students at diverse institutions, including students from underrepresented groups who would otherwise not be able to attend, and enhances the visibility of this outreach program to all attendees. The award covers some of the conference attendance costs for 15-20 selected US-based graduate students. Participants and recipients of travel support are selected by the 2022 CVPR Doctoral Consortium co-chairs. Travel awards partially cover any admissible conference-related costs such as registration, airfare, lodging, and board, up to $1200. The budget also includes support for a light lunch during the Doctoral Consortium event for 60 people (student participants and mentors). This year’s Doctoral Consortium is a hybrid event (allowing in-person and remote participation), features a poster session, one-on-one or small group mentoring, and panel discussion. The Doctoral Consortium aims to have representation from a diverse group of participants in terms of gender, ethnic background, academic institution, and geographic location.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.
