Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2024 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (IEEE DySPAN)

该学生旅行补助金将支持学生参加2024年5月13日至16日在华盛顿特区举行的2024年IEEE动态频谱接入网络（DySPAN）会议。DySPAN是一个专注于动态频谱接入网络和先进无线研究的顶级会议，这是NSF的优先领域，也是2022年《芯片和科学法案》强调的国家利益。会议汇集了研究人员、工程师、政策制定者和行业专业人士，讨论动态频谱接入和相关领域的最新发展、挑战和创新。在华盛顿参加会议可能会给未来的学生与会者带来巨大的经济负担，特别是那些资源有限或没有得到现有联邦研究经费支持的学生。在经济援助下，学生可以承担参加会议的费用，因此，他们可以获得宝贵的学习、交流和职业发展的机会。国家科学基金会的学生旅行补助金将在解决这些挑战方面发挥关键作用，为学生提供必要的财政支持，以抵消费用，确保来自不同背景的更广泛的听众可以获得参加会议的好处。该学生旅行补助金将支持最多12名首次参加DySPAN的美国大学全日制学生，无论其公民身份和签证状况如何。每个学生将获得1250美元，用于支付或抵消他们参加DySPAN的旅行费用。学生将能够使用他们的旅行补助金来支付不同的旅行费用，例如地面或空中交通，会议注册费，住宿和膳食。根据《飞美国法》（Fly America Act），我们将通知学生申请人，使用该旅行补助资金购买的任何航班必须是(i)美国航空公司的航班，或（ii）通过美国航空公司的机票，例如国际航空公司的代码共享航班。宣布的学生旅行补助金将鼓励未被充分代表的少数民族参加高等教育，例如妇女、拉丁裔、非洲裔美国人和印第安人，以及来自弱势背景的学生。我们将优先考虑在会议上接受海报，论文，演示或研讨会的学生。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 student travel grant will support students to attend the 2024 IEEE Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN) conference in Washington, DC, on May 13–16, 2024. DySPAN is a premier conference focused on dynamic spectrum access networks and advanced wireless research, a priority area for NSF and a national interest highlighted by the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. The conference brings together researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry professionals to discuss the latest developments, challenges, and innovations in dynamic spectrum access and related areas. Attending a conference in Washington, DC, may place a significant financial burden on prospective student attendees, particularly those with limited resources or not supported through existing Federal research grants. With financial assistance, students may bear the costs of attending the conference and, as such, avail invaluable opportunities for learning, networking, and career advancement. This NSF student travel grant will play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by providing essential financial support to offset the costs for students, ensuring that the benefits of attending the conference are accessible to a broader audience from diverse backgrounds.This student travel grant will support up to 12 full-time students from U.S. universities who are first-time attendees to DySPAN, regardless of their citizenship and visa status. Each student will receive up to $1,250.00 for covering or offsetting their travel expenses to attend DySPAN. The students will be able to use their travel grants for different travel expenses, e.g., ground or air transportation, conference registration fees, lodging, and meals. In accordance with the Fly America Act, we will inform student applicants that any flights purchased using the funds from this travel grant must either be (i) on a U.S.-based carrier or (ii) ticketed through a U.S. carrier, e.g., codeshare flights on international airlines. The student travel grant announcement will encourage participation from underrepresented minorities in higher education, e.g., women, LatinX, African Americans, and Native Americans, as well as students from disadvantaged backgrounds. We will prioritize students who have accepted posters, papers, demos, or workshops at the conference.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.
