The IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) is the premier international conference on information theory, the scientific discipline that studies the mathematical foundations of efficient, reliable, and secure communications, e.g., for telephony, television, wireless, optical, and data storage systems. It has been promoted under the umbrella of the IEEE Information Theory Society (ITSoc) since 1954, originally every two years and annually since 2000. Recent editions of the ISIT have had around 1000 paper submissions with 600 papers accepted and 850 participants including 350 students who benefit from the excellent learning and networking opportunity that ISIT provides. This award supports the participation of US-based students in ISIT 2024, which will be held in Athens, Greece from July 7-12, 2024. Participation at this conference will enhance the research experiences for students and provide increased opportunities for new collaborations.Students form an integral part of the Information Theory community, and the IEEE ISIT Conference continues to promote student participation through the ISIT Jack Kiel Wolf Best Student Paper Award, the creation of the ISIT tutorial series, and the Information Theory Society Student Committee. Students comprise about one-third of the participants at ISIT, and the travel funds offered through this award will support the attendance at the 2024 ISIT by students enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program in the United States and whose papers have been accepted for presentation.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.

IEEE信息理论国际研讨会（ISIT）是关于信息理论的首要国际会议，信息理论是研究有效，可靠和安全通信的数学基础的科学学科，例如，用于电话、电视、无线、光学和数据存储系统。自1954年以来，它一直在IEEE信息理论学会（ITSoc）的保护伞下推广，最初每两年一次，自2000年以来每年一次。ISIT的最新版本有大约1000篇论文提交，600篇论文被接受，850名参与者，包括350名学生，他们受益于ISIT提供的出色的学习和网络机会。该奖项支持美国学生参加将于2024年7月7日至12日在希腊雅典举行的ISIT 2024。参加这次会议将提高学生的研究经验，并提供新的合作机会增加。学生形成信息论社区的一个组成部分，IEEE ISIT会议继续通过ISIT杰克基尔沃尔夫最佳学生论文奖，ISIT教程系列的创建，和信息论社会学生委员会促进学生的参与。学生约占ISIT参与者的三分之一，通过该奖项提供的旅行资金将支持在美国就读研究生或本科课程的学生参加2024年ISIT，并且其论文已被接受提交。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的评估被认为值得支持。影响审查标准。
