Travel: 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS) 2023

这笔资金用于支持六名美国研究生前往博士财团的旅行和无障碍需求，该联盟将在第25届国际ACM SIGACCESS关于计算机和无障碍的国际会议(资产2023)之前和同时举行。资产会议是展示主流和专门辅助技术的设计和使用的创新研究的主要论坛，以支持与语言、运动、听力和视觉障碍、认知障碍、情感和学习障碍、老龄化和计算无障碍教育相关的需求，以及与这些人群合作的专业人员。来自世界各地学术界和工业界的研究人员和开发人员将在Assets 2023上会面，交流想法并展示他们的最新工作。建设任何社区的一个关键组成部分是通过其年轻人。博士联盟将帮助扩大在这一领域攻读研究生课程的年轻研究人员的参与，为他们提供机会，让他们在社会上更广泛地接触到他们的创新工作，并从资深研究人员和同行那里获得反馈和指导。它将在这些年轻的研究人员中培养社区意识，让他们在专业发展的关键阶段创建一个社交网络。因为学生和教职员工在不同的维度上构成了一个不同的群体，包括国籍/文化和科学学科，学生的视野被拓宽到该领域未来的利益。ASSITS 2023年博士联盟将是一个由选定的博士候选人组成的国际小组在首席研究员和杰出研究教师小组的指导下举行的以研究为重点的会议。活动将由两部分组成：一次介绍和对话的聚会，然后是一个更正式的全天研讨会，其中包括学生陈述、反馈和小组讨论。学生参与者将收到教师小组关于他们的陈述的建设性反馈，这些反馈旨在帮助他们理解和阐明他们的工作相对于相关研究的定位，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否被正确地选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和展示。因此，博士联盟将帮助形成目前和未来旨在辅助技术和普及利用的研究项目；它将促进这些跨学科领域的新研究人员之间的学术和网络联系，还将使年轻研究人员接触到更大的社区。与会者将在会议期间以海报形式展示他们的工作，为了进一步将他们融入研究社区，技术方案中留出了一个会议，所有人都可以在整个会议上展示他们的研究成果。此外，教员小组将介绍学术界和工业界研究人员的就业机会，以便在考虑职业选择时更好地为学生提供信息。将对该联盟进行评估，并将结果提供给未来此类活动的组织者。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 funding to support travel and accessibility needs for six U.S.-based graduate students to travel to a doctoral consortium to take place immediately preceding and in conjunction with the 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2023). The ASSETS conferences are the premier forum for presenting innovative research on the design and use of both mainstream and specialized assistive technologies in support of the needs associated with speech, motor, hearing, and vision impairments, cognitive limitations, emotional and learning disabilities, aging and education in computing accessibility, as well as the professionals who work with these populations. Researchers and developers from around the world, in both academia and industry, will meet at ASSETS 2023 to exchange ideas and present their latest work. A key component of building any community is through its youth. The Doctoral Consortium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in this field by providing them an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior researchers and peers. It will foster a sense of community among these young researchers by allowing them to create a social network at a critical stage in their professional development. Because the students and faculty constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, including nationality/cultural and scientific discipline, the students' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field. The ASSETS 2023 Doctoral Consortium will be a research-focused meeting of an international group of selected Ph.D. candidates under the guidance of the principal investigator and a panel of distinguished research faculty. The event will be composed of two parts: a gathering for introductions and conversation, followed by a more formal all-day workshop which will include a mixture of student presentations, feedback, and small group discussions. Student participants will receive constructive feedback from the faculty panel regarding their presentations that is designed to help them understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to related research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Thus, the Doctoral Consortium will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at assistive technologies and universal access; it will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in these interdisciplinary fields, and will also expose the young researchers to a larger community. Participants will showcase their work in a poster session during the conference, and to further integrate them into the research community a session has been set aside in the technical program where all of them can present their research to the full conference. In addition, the faculty panel will give a presentation on job opportunities for researchers both in academia and in industry, to better inform the students when considering career options. An evaluation of the consortium will be carried out and the results made available to the organizers of future such events.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.
