Travel Grant: Inaugural Data, Analysis and Software in Heliophysics (DASH) Conference; Laurel, Maryland; October 11-13, 2023

该奖项将提供差旅支持，以增加参加将于2023年10月11日至13日在马里兰州劳雷尔校区的约翰霍普金斯大学应用物理实验室（JHU/APL）举行的太阳物理学数据、分析和软件（DASH）会议的人数。DASH会议结束后，将举行国际太阳物理数据环境联盟（IHDEA）配对会议，该差旅补助将扩展到计划参加IHDEA会议的DASH与会者。这次会议是第一次专门讨论分析技术、数据、元数据、服务和软件的会议。旅行补助金将用于增加早期职业和博士后与会者的出席率，以及来自缺乏旅费的小型机构的与会者，以增加会议的影响和范围，并增加与会者的多样性。太阳物理学中的数据、分析和软件（DASH）会议将成为太阳物理学研究人员聚集在一起讨论与各种数据源相关的挑战并建立跨学科关系和合作的起点。太阳物理学研究界是多样化的，其科学概念范围从太阳物理学，空间等离子体相互作用，磁层和电离层动力学和耦合，甚至地面效应，如感应电流的流动。太阳物理学社区的成员将从参加DASH会议中受益，这项旅行奖励将使早期职业和博士后研究人员能够参与讨论，分享他们的研究，讨论挑战，并加强他们的合作网络，否则他们可能由于旅行资金有限而无法参加。旅行奖励标准将由DASH委员会制定和审查，并将包括需求、相关性、职业阶段和公平考虑因素。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 will provide travel support in order to increase attendance at the Data, Analysis, and Software in Heliophysics (DASH) conference to be held on October 11-13, 2023, at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) on the Laurel, Maryland campus. Immediately following the DASH Conference, a paired International Heliophysics Data Environment Alliance (IHDEA) meeting will be held, and this travel grant will be extended to DASH attendees who also plan on attending the IHDEA meeting. This meeting is the first dedicated meeting about analysis techniques, data, metadata, services, and software. The travel grants will be used to increase attendance among early career and post-doctoral attendees, as well as attendees from smaller institutions that lack travel money, in order to increase the impact and reach of the conference and increase the diversity of attendees.The Data, Analysis, and Software in Heliophysics (DASH) conference will serve as a starting point for researchers within heliophysics to come together and discuss challenges associated with the wide variety of data sources and to build cross-disciplinary relationships and collaborations. The heliophysics research community is diverse, with science concepts ranging from the physics of the Sun, space plasma interactions, magnetosphere and ionosphere dynamics and coupling, and even ground level effects such as the flow of induced currents. Members of the heliophysics community will benefit from the attending the DASH conference and this travel award will enable early-career and postdoctoral researchers, who might not otherwise be able to attend due to limited travel funding, to participate in the discussions, share their research, discuss challenges, and strengthen their collaborative network. Travel award criteria will be developed and vetted by the DASH committee and will include need, relevance, career stage, and equity considerations.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.
