UCGIS Summer Assembly and Retreat: Support for Graduate Student Travel

SBR-9617695 该奖项支持提供小额旅费赠款，以研究生从美国机构，以协助他们出席和参加1997年年度大会的大学联盟地理信息科学。 将根据小组对他们计划在大会上发言的2000字摘要的审查来选择获得这种支持的学生。 赠款将不提供给大会（将在缅因州举行）250英里范围内的学生。 大会有两个组成部分：研究人员和学生之间的研究成果和进展的交流（他们的演讲将被纳入会议），并确定教育（主要是大学和研究生）在地理信息科学的跨学科领域的优先事项。 这个小奖项实现了NSF的两个主要目标：开发和传播改进的科学分析工具，以及研究和教育的整合。

SBR-9617695 This award supports the provision of small travel grants to graduate students from U.S. institutions to assist their attendance and participation in the 1997 Annual Assembly of the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science. Students to be so supported will be selected on the basis of a panel review of their 2000-word abstracts of the presentations they plan to make at the assembly. Grants will not be made to students based within 250 miles of the assembly (to be held in Maine). The assembly has two components: the exchange of research findings and progress among researchers and students (their presentations are to be integrated within sessions), and the identification of priorities for education (primarily college and graduate) in the interdisciplinary field of geographic information science. This small award fulfills two major goals of NSF: the development and dissemination of improved tools for scientific analysis, and the integration of research and education.
