NSF Student Travel Grant for 2018 TPRC46

2018年TPRC 46通信，信息和互联网政策研究会议将于2018年9月21日至22日星期五和星期六举行，在华盛顿特区的美国大学华盛顿法学院，TPRC通过传播和讨论与美国及其周边国家的政策问题相关的新研究，促进对通信和互联网中当前和新兴问题的跨学科思考世界它为研究人员、决策者以及私营部门和民间社会的成员提供服务，从学生到成熟的从业人员。该奖项帮助大约15个美国-研究生参加本次会议。参加会议，如TPRC形成了研究生院的经验的核心部分，为学生提供了一个机会，与来自学术界和工业界的高级研究人员进行互动，并使他们接触到前沿的研究和思维在各个专业领域。TPRC汇集了计算机科学家、网络研究人员、政策制定者以及私营部门和民间社会的成员。参加TPRC为美国研究生提供了一个与蓬勃发展的国际研究社区联系的绝佳机会。本提案中要求的支持将使学生能够参加TPRC 46 2018的主要会议，小组讨论和论文演示以及研究生联盟（GSC）。该计划将使学生接触到这些新兴领域的新思想，并允许他们与学科之外的研究人员进行互动，包括法律的，经济，社会科学和技术学者，从而拓宽他们的知识视野。会议的一个特别的日子致力于GSC有助于确保学生参与并最大限度地从参加会议中获益。GSC为研究生提供了由学者，行业和政府领导人指导的机会，以及与其他研究生建立联系的机会。GSC参与者将从代表各个行业和部门的TPRC社区成员那里获得有关研究战略和感兴趣主题的见解。该项目将研究和教育与计算机科学学生的目标相结合，并接触到一个首屈一指的跨学科会议，涵盖了国家和国际通信，信息和互联网政策的挑战。TPRC会议已经发展成为一个顶级的国际会议，为学生提供了一个巨大的机会，以扩大他们的思想，研究技能和技术视角的广度。旅行补助金联合主席致力于鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的参与。该奖项反映了NSF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。

The 2018 TPRC46 Research Conference on Communications, Information and Internet Policy will take place Friday and Saturday, September 21-22 2018, at the American University Washington College of Law in Washington D.C. TPRC promotes interdisciplinary thinking on current and emerging issues in communications and the Internet by disseminating and discussing new research relevant to policy questions in the U.S. and around the world. It serves researchers, policymakers, and members of the private sector and civil society, from students to well-established practitioners. This award assists approximately 15 U.S.-based graduate students to attend this conference. Participation in conferences such as TPRC forms a central part of the graduate school experience, providing students with an opportunity to interact with senior researchers from academia and industry, and exposing them to leading-edge research and thinking in the various fields of expertise. TPRC brings together computer scientists, network researchers, policymakers, and members of the private sector and civil society. Attending TPRC presents an excellent opportunity for U.S. graduate students to connect with a thriving international research community. The support requested in this proposal will enable students to attend the main conference, panels and paper presentations as well as the Graduate Student Consortium (GSC) at TPRC46 2018. This program will expose students to new ideas in these emerging areas, and allow them to interact with researchers outside their disciplines, including legal, economic, social science and technology scholars, thereby broadening their intellectual horizons. A special day of the conference dedicated to the GSC helps to ensure students are engaged and maximize the benefit from attending the conference. The GSC provides graduate students with opportunities for mentoring by academics, industry, and government leaders, as well as the opportunity to network with other graduate students. GSC participants will gain insights on research strategies and topics of interest from members of the TPRC community representing various industries and sectors. This project integrates research and education with a target of computer science students and exposure to a premier interdisciplinary conference covering challenges in national and international policy on communications, information, and the Internet. The TPRC conference has developed into a top-tier international conference, presenting a tremendous opportunity to students to expand their breadth of ideas, research skills, and technical perspective. The travel grant co-chairs are committed to encouraging the participation of women and under-represented minorities.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.
