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.

这笔学生旅行津贴将支持学生参加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是一次主要会议，重点关注动态频谱接入网络和先进的无线研究，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。这次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。在华盛顿特区参加会议可能会给潜在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现有联邦研究拨款支持的人。有了经济援助，学生可以承担参加会议的费用，并因此获得宝贵的学习、网络和职业发展机会。这项NSF学生旅行津贴将通过提供必要的财政支持来抵消学生的费用，从而在应对这些挑战方面发挥关键作用，确保来自不同背景的更多观众能够获得参加会议的好处。这项学生旅行津贴将支持最多12名来自美国大学的全日制学生，他们是DySPAN的第一次与会者，无论他们的公民身份和签证身份如何。每名学生将获得最高1,250美元，用于支付或抵消他们参加DySPAN的旅费。学生将能够使用他们的旅行津贴来支付不同的旅行费用，例如陆上或空中交通、会议注册费、住宿和餐饮。根据《美国飞行法案》，我们将通知学生申请者，使用这笔旅行津贴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。学生旅行补助金的宣布将鼓励代表人数不足的少数族裔参与高等教育，例如女性、拉丁裔、非裔美国人和美洲原住民，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。
