Travel Support for the 2021 American Control Conference; New Orleans, Louisiana; May 26-28, 2021

该资助将为来自控制科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的40至200名学生提供机会，参加2021年美国控制会议（ACC），无论是物理还是虚拟，他们将参加讲座，展示他们的研究，并与该领域的其他学生，教师和专业人士建立联系。美国控制会议是国际公认的首屈一指的科学和工程会议，致力于控制理论和实践的进步。2021年ACC技术计划将包括物理、虚拟或混合活动，包括定期和邀请会议的演讲、辅导课、特别会议以及研讨会和展览。本次会议考虑的控制理论和控制应用，包括能源、交通、制造业，涵盖了与美国国家科学基金会使命相关的研究领域。该奖项将扩大女性、少数族裔、残疾人、退伍军人、第一代学生和非R1机构学生在控制科学和工程领域的机会。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This grant will provide the opportunity for between 40 and 200 students from groups underrepresented in control science and engineering to attend the 2021 American Control Conference (ACC), either physically or virtually, where they will attend lectures, present their research, and network with other students, faculty, and professionals in the field. The American Control Conference is internationally recognized as a premier scientific and engineering conference, dedicated to the advancement of control theory and practice. The 2021 ACC technical program will comprise physical, virtual, or hybrid activities, including presentations in regular and invited sessions, tutorial sessions, and special sessions along with workshops and exhibits. Control theory and control applications considered in this conference, including energy, transportation, manufacturing, span research areas relevant to the mission of the National Science Foundation. This award will expand the opportunities in the fields of control science and engineering for women, minorities, persons with disabilities, veterans, first-generation students, and students from non R1 institutions.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.
