Travel Grant for North American Power Symposium (NAPS) 2023 Attendees

这笔会议旅费补助金将支持参加2023年10月在西卡罗来纳大学举行的2023年北美大国研讨会(NAP)的学生。NAPS是一个以学生为中心的会议，汇集了来自电力和能源系统领域的行业和国家实验室的学生、教师和研究人员。本次研讨会的目的是为学生、教师和行业代表提供一个论坛，让他们讨论最新的研究想法和发现，并接受同行的反馈。申请的资金将用于支付部分旅费，包括伙食费、两晚住宿费和学生报名费折扣。NAPS技术上由IEEE Power and Energy Society联合主办，会议记录将通过IEEE Xplore发布。NSF对NAPS 2023的支持将提高人们对与电力和能源系统相关的问题的认识，包括脱碳、弹性和能源正义。这项支持还将为STEM社区的学生提供一个独特的学习机会，资助他们参加国家行动方案。学生们应该从他们的同龄人和教职员工那里得到反馈，向他们的同龄人学习，并与潜在的雇主联系。最后，对国家行动方案的支持将对美国的电力和能源研究社区产生积极影响，因为它们正在努力实现国家的能源和气候目标。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。

This conference travel grant will support the participation of students attending the 2023 North American Power Symposium (NAPS), held at the Western Carolina University in October 2023. NAPS is a student-centric conference that brings together students, faculty, and researchers from the industry and national laboratories, in the power and energy systems area. The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum for students, faculty, and industrial representatives to discuss the latest research ideas and findings and receive feedback from their peers. The requested funding will be used to cover part of the travel expenses, including meals, lodging for two nights, and discounted registration for students. NAPS is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Power and Energy Society, and the conference proceedings will be published through IEEE Xplore.The NSF support for NAPS 2023 will boost awareness about issues related to the power and energy system, including decarbonization, resilience, and energy justice. The support will also provide a unique learning opportunity for the students in the STEM community by subsidizing their participation in NAPS. The students are expected to receive feedback from their peers and the faculty participants, learn from their peers and connect with potential employers. Finally, support for NAPS will have a positive impact on the power and energy research community in the United States, as they work towards the nation’s energy and climate goals.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.
