Travel: Group Travel Grant for the Doctoral Consortium of the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2023)

该奖项为来自美国机构的学生提供部分支持，以参加2023年6月18日至22日在加拿大温哥华举行的IEEE/CVF计算机视觉和模式识别会议（CVPR）的博士生联盟。CVPR是首屈一指的年度会议，吸引了来自世界各地的10，000多名与会者，被广泛认为是计算机视觉领域的领先会议。博士联盟是专门为博士设计的。即将毕业或最近毕业的学生，为他们提供了一个机会，介绍他们的研究，并从经验丰富的教师和高级研究人员获得宝贵的反馈。这是一个理想的平台，讨论研究和专业发展，网络和职业发展。它旨在促进学生在STEM领域的发展，并增加该领域的研究人员和教育工作者的数量。此外，它在推进计算机视觉领域和解决有可能造福整个社会的关键问题方面发挥着重要作用。该项目将提供团体旅行补助金，以支持来自美国机构的约25名学生，包括来自代表性不足的团体和机构的学生以及那些可能无法参加会议的学生。参与者和旅行支持接受者的选择将由2023年CVPR博士联盟主席决定。旅行奖励将支付部分会议相关费用，如机票、住宿和交通。博士联盟将包括海报会议，互动讨论和小组辅导。研讨会将以混合模式举行，让有不同需要的学生和导师参加。该奖项反映了NSF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 provides partial support to students from US institutions to participate in the Doctoral Consortium at the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) in Vancouver, Canada, from June 18 to 22, 2023. The CVPR is the premier annual conference that attracts over 10,000 participants from all over the world and is widely considered the leading conference in computer vision. The Doctoral Consortium is designed specifically for Ph.D. students who are nearing graduation or who have recently graduated, offering them an opportunity to present their research and receive valuable feedback from experienced faculty and senior researchers. It is an ideal platform for discussions on research and professional development, networking, and career advancement. It aims to promote the development of students in STEM and increase the number of researchers and educators in the field. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in advancing the field of computer vision and addressing critical problems that have the potential to benefit society as a whole.This project will provide group travel grants to support a diverse group of approximately 25 students from US-based institutions, including those from underrepresented groups and institutions and those who may not otherwise have the means to attend the conference. The selection of participants and travel support recipients will be determined by the 2023 CVPR Doctoral Consortium chairs. The travel award will cover partial conference-related expenses such as airfare, lodging, and transportation. The Doctoral Consortium will include a poster session, interaction discussions, and small group mentoring. It will be held in a hybrid mode to enable students and mentors with varying needs to participate. The event will be diverse 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.
