Travel: Student Travel Support for the Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE Visualization (IEEE VIS) 2023

这是一项旅行津贴，将支持参加在澳大利亚墨尔本举行的IEEE可视化会议(2023年10月22日至27日)博士座谈会的学生。它将为15名可视化美国博士生提供会议费用，这些博士生正在制定他们的论文项目，并在研究生培训的关键阶段寻求反馈。学生参与者和专家小组成员将根据他们在研究方面的卓越表现以及他们对促进妇女和其他代表性不足群体充分参与这一目标所作的贡献来挑选。我们还努力在机构、科学学科和研究专业方面多样化。活动将通过三个主要方面促进学生的学术和专业发展：(1)研究，(2)指导，和(3)网络。为了帮助学生发展和完善他们的研究，每个学生都将提交并接收专家小组成员对他们的论文主题的反馈，其中包括该领域的资深研究人员，他们不是他们的博士导师，也来自他们的同龄人。这一指导将为他们的论文主题提供一个新的视角，帮助开发他们工作的智力贡献，并帮助他们的工作定位于更广泛的可视化社区核心感兴趣的主题。在活动中展示的作品反映了可视化的最先进水平。为了提供指导，每个学生参与者将在专家小组成员中分配一名导师。在博士座谈会期间，导师将对学生提交的材料提供详细的反馈，为完成论文研究提供支持和鼓励，并回答专业发展问题。为了增加人际交往的机会，博士座谈会将举办午餐会，以建立社会关系，并举行圆桌讨论，解决学生关于职业道路、求职、拨款申请和成为独立研究人员的问题。在所有活动中，博士座谈会将建立和加强初级和高级研究人员之间的专业网络和研究合作，这对初级研究人员有利，对该领域的进步至关重要。通过在VIS会议开始时建立这个社区，学生可以在IEEE VIS 2023期间继续建立网络并潜在地建立合作。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 is a travel grant that will support student attendees of the Doctoral Colloquium at IEEE Visualization conference (October 22-27, 2023) in Melbourne Australia. It will support conference expenses for 15 US-based Ph.D. students in visualization who are in the process of formulating their dissertation project and seek feedback at a critical stage in their graduate training. The student participants and expert panelists will be selected based on their research excellence and their contribution to the goal of promoting full participation of women and other underrepresented groups. We also strive for diversity in institution, scientific discipline, and research specialization.The event will foster student academic and professional development through three main prongs: (1) research, (2) mentorship, and (3) networking. To help students develop and finetune their research, each student will present and receive feedback on their dissertation topic from expert panelists, including senior researchers in the field who are not their doctoral advisors and from their peers. This guidance will provide a fresh perspective on their dissertation topics, help develop the intellectual contributions of their work, and help situate their work in topics of core interest to the broader visualization community. The work presented at the event reflects the state-of-the-art in visualization. To provide mentorship, each student participant will be assigned a mentor among the expert panelists. During the Doctoral Colloquium the mentor will provide detailed feedback on student’s submitted materials, offer support and encouragement for completing the dissertation research, and answer professional development questions. To foster networking opportunities, the Doctoral Colloquium will host a lunch for building social connections and a round table discussion to address student questions about career paths, job searches, grant writing, and becoming an independent researcher. Across all activities the Doctoral Colloquium will establish and strengthen professional networks and research collaborations among junior and senior researchers, which are beneficial for the junior researchers, and critical for the advancement of the field. By building this community at the beginning of the VIS conference, students can continue to network and potentially establish collaborations throughout the duration of IEEE VIS 2023.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.
