Travel: Student Travel Grant for the IEEE ICC 2023 and 2024

由IEEE通信协会主办的2023年和2024年IEEE国际通信会议（ICC）将分别于2023年5月28日至6月1日在意大利罗马和2024年6月9日至13日在科罗拉多州丹佛举行。IEEE国际通信会议是IEEE通信协会的首要国际会议，也是无线通信和网络的重大事件，它将数字/无线通信和网络的各个方面的研究人员和实践者聚集在一起，展示该领域的最新成果和成就。它被该领域的研究人员和实践者广泛参加。参加这样的活动是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，它提供了与更资深的研究人员互动的机会，并接触到该领域的前沿工作。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26名在美国的研究生提供旅行支持，以参加2023年或2024年的首次会议。旅行奖将针对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 2023 and 2024 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), sponsored by the IEEE Communication Society, are to be held in Rome, Italy between May 28 and June 1, 2023, and in Denver, CO on June 9-13, 2024, respectively. IEEE ICC is a premier international conference of the IEEE Communications Society and a major event in wireless communications and networking that brings researchers and practitioners of every aspect of digital/wireless communications and networks together to present up-to-date results and achievements in the field. It is widely attended by researchers and practitioners in the field. Participation in events like this is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and to be exposed to leading-edge work in the field. 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 twenty-six graduate students in the United States to attend this premiere conference either in 2023 or in 2024. The travel awards will target 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.
