Conference: Travel Grant for 2002 IEEE-AP-S International Symposium & USNC/USRI National Radio Science Meeting to be held in San Antonio, TX June 16-21, 2002.

2002年IEEE- ap -s国际研讨会& USNC/USRI国家无线电科学会议是由电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）和国际无线电科学联盟（URSI）共同主办的年度国际会议。该会议定期吸引大约一千名代表学术界和工业界的与会者。IEEE的天线与传播学会（AP-S）和URSI的几个小组将于2002年6月在德克萨斯州的圣安东尼奥举行会议。每年，天线与传播协会通过多种机制促进学生参与会议。其中最重要的是会议上的学生论文比赛。这个精选项目将世界上最优秀的学生聚集在一起，在一个综合项目中，他们向包括一组评委在内的技术观众展示他们的作品。该项目有助于培养学生的技术敏锐度以及他们的沟通和演讲技巧。它还有助于将他们介绍给国际技术社区，并帮助建立一个将领导下一代电磁技术专家的学生社区。AP-S提供各种形式的财政支持，包括帮助寻找低成本住房。但不报销差旅费。美国国家科学基金会的旅行支持将只帮助来自美国大学的学生，并将确保该计划向来自美国大学的最广泛的感兴趣的申请人开放。这项提案要求支助支付青年研究人员的旅费，这些研究人员的论文已被选定在会议上发表，但他们缺乏资金，如果没有这种支助，可能无法出席会议。建议AP-S技术计划委员会从美国大学中选出支持对象。

The 2002 IEEE-AP-S International Symposium & USNC/USRI National Radio Science Meeting is an annual international conference co-sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and the Union of Radio Science International (URSI). The conference regularly draws about one thousand participants representing academia and industry. The Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) of the IEEE along with several subgroups of URSI will meet in San Antonio, Texas in June 2002.Each year, the Antennas and Propagation Society promotes student participation in the conference through a number of mechanisms. One of the most important is the Student Paper Competition at the conference. This selective program brings the world's best students together in an integrated program in which they present their work to a technical audience including a group of judges. The program helps develop the students' technical acumen as well as their communication and presentation skills. It also helps introduce them to the international technical community and helps to build a community of students who will lead the next generation of electromagnetic technologists.The AP-S provides financial support of various forms including assistance in finding low cost housing. but does not reimburse travel expenses. Travel support from NSF will aid students from U.S. universities only and will ensure that the program is open to the widest range of interested applicants from the U.S. universities.This proposal requests support to defray the travel expenses for young investigators whose papers have been selected for presentation at the Conference, but who lack funds and might not be able to attend without such support. It is proposed that the AP-S Technical Program Committee select those from U.S. universities to receive the support.
