Application for NSF Travel Grant for Student Attendance at ICFP 2013

该提案要求学生为ACM SIGPLAN国际函数式编程会议（ICFP 2013）和相关研讨会提供旅行支持。会议将于9月22日至28日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。ICFP是关于与功能和高级程序设计相关的所有主题的首要会议，会议包括八个相关的讲习班和专题讨论会。ICFP是关于函数式编程和高阶编程所有主题的首要会议。支持学生参加专业会议和研讨会是NSF的一项非常重要的任务。更广泛的影响包括培养该研究领域的下一代研究人员，以及提供国际经验以建立具有全球意识的劳动力队伍。

The proposal requests student travel support for The ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP 2013) and associated workshops. The conference is being held in Boston MA during the period of September 22-28. ICFP is the premier conference on all topics related to functional and higher-order programming and the meeting includes eight related workshops and symposia. ICFP is the premier conference on all topics related to functional and higher-order programming. Supporting student travel to attend professional conferences and workshops is a very important mission of the NSF. Broader impacts include building the next generation of researchers in this research area, as well as providing international experiences to build a globally-aware workforce.
