Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for the 2023 IEEE ICNP Conference

2023年IEEE ICNP大会将于2023年10月11日至13日在冰岛雷克雅未克举行。该项目提供资金帮助16名美国研究生参加这次会议。参加ICNP这样的会议是研究生院经历的核心部分，因为它为学生提供了与学术界和工业界的高级研究人员互动的机会，并使他们接触到该领域的前沿研究。IEEE ICNP的独特之处在于它强调网络研究人员在国际层面上的互动，参加ICNP为美国研究生提供了与蓬勃发展的国际研究社区建立联系的绝佳机会。该提案所要求的支持将使学生能够参加ICNP 2023的主要会议和相关研讨会。旅费赠款联合主席致力于鼓励妇女和任职人数不足的少数群体参加。该项目拟为研究生参加ICNP 2023及相关讲习班提供旅费支持。这个项目将使学生接触到这些新兴领域的新想法，并允许他们与其他研究人员互动，从而拓宽他们的智力视野。通过支持研究生参加ICNP 2023，本提案中规定的赠款将增加向更多和更多样化的受众传播会议研究成果，否则这些受众将无法参加。这笔赠款将有助于增强研究界的力量和包容性，并将导致ICNP的长期健康和活力。此外，通过优先向女性和代表性不足的学生颁发奖项，我们希望增加这些群体的参与。通过向广泛的学院和大学做广告，来自更多不同机构的参与者应该能够参加会议并从中受益。广泛和多样化的人群是研究界和学科健康的关键。这一奖项反映了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。

The 2023 IEEE ICNP conference will take place from October the 11th to 13th, 2023 in Reykjavik, Iceland. This project provides funding to assist 16 US-based graduate students for attending this conference. Participation in conferences such as ICNP forms a central part of the graduate school experience as it provides students with an opportunity to interact with senior researchers from academia and industry and exposes them to leading-edge research in the field. IEEE ICNP stands unique in its emphasis on interactions between networking researchers at an international level, and attending ICNP presents an excellent opportunity for US graduate students to connect with a thriving international research community. The support requested in this proposal will enable students to attend the main conference and associated workshops at ICNP 2023. The travel grant co-chairs are committed to encouraging the participation of women and under-represented minorities. This project proposes to provide travel support for graduate students to attend ICNP 2023 and the associated workshops. This program will expose students to new ideas in these emerging areas, and allow them to interact with other researchers thereby broadening their intellectual horizons. By supporting graduate students to attend ICNP 2023, the grant specified in this proposal will increase the dissemination of the conference research results to a larger and more diverse audience, which otherwise would not have been able to attend. This grant will contribute to the strength and inclusiveness of the research community and will lead to the long-term health and vitalization of ICNP. In addition, by giving priority to grant awards to women and underrepresented students, we hope to increase participation among those groups. By advertising to a wide range of colleges and universities, participants from a more diverse set of institutions should be able to attend and benefit from the conference. A broad, as well as diverse population is key to the health of the research community and the discipline.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.
