Travel: Group Travel Grant for the Doctoral Consortium of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

该奖项部分支持来自美国机构的学生参加将于2022年6月19日至24日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行的IEEE/CVF计算机视觉和模式识别会议（CVPR）的博士生联盟。CVPR是计算机视觉领域首屈一指的年度会议，有9,000多名高年级、低年级和学生参加。它在北美举行，由国际研究界的成员参加。博士联盟的目标是突出高年级博士生的工作谁是在六个月内获得学位（包括应届毕业生），并给这些学生一个机会，讨论他们的研究和职业选择与教师和研究人员谁拥有相关的专业知识和经验。在自己的机构内部，往往没有机会听取来自不同机构、观点可能不同的专家对自己的研究工作和职业规划的意见。该项目将支持计算机视觉领域一些最聪明的初级研究人员的职业发展，通过关注研究生发展的一个重要方面，为研究界做出贡献，可能增加STEM领域活跃的研究人员和教育工作者的数量，并确保计算机视觉社区通过其最近的毕业生，在解决造福社会的问题方面取得快速进展。通过团体旅行补助金，该项目确保有机会参与不同机构的学生，包括来自代表性不足群体的学生，否则他们将无法参加，并提高了所有与会者对该推广计划的可见度。该奖项涵盖了15-20名选定的美国研究生的部分会议出席费用。旅行支持的参与者和接受者由2022年CVPR博士联盟联合主席选择。旅费赔偿部分涵盖与会议有关的可受理费用，如登记、机票、住宿和膳食，最高可达1200美元。该预算还包括在博士生联盟活动期间为60人（学生参与者和导师）提供一顿简单的午餐。今年的博士生联盟是一个混合活动（允许亲自和远程参与），具有海报会议，一对一或小组辅导和小组讨论。博士生联盟旨在从性别、种族背景、学术机构和地理位置等不同的参与者群体中获得代表性。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。

This award partially supports the participation of students from US institutions in the Doctoral Consortium at the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), to be held from June 19 to 24, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana. CVPR is the premier annual conference in computer vision with over 9,000 senior, junior and student participants. It is held in North America and attended by members of the international research community. The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to highlight the work of senior PhD students who are within six months of receiving their degrees (including recent graduates), and to give these students an opportunity to discuss their research and career options with faculty and researchers who have relevant expertise and experience. The opportunity to receive advice on their research work and career plans from experts from different institutions, and with potentially different perspectives, is often not available internally at one's own institution. The project will support the career development of some of the brightest junior researchers in computer vision, contribute to the research community in general by drawing attention to an important aspect of graduate student development, potentially increasing the number of active researchers and educators in STEM, and ensure that the computer vision community, through its recent graduates, makes fast advances in solving problems that will benefit society. Through a group travel grant, this project ensures the opportunity to participate for students at diverse institutions, including students from underrepresented groups who would otherwise not be able to attend, and enhances the visibility of this outreach program to all attendees. The award covers some of the conference attendance costs for 15-20 selected US-based graduate students. Participants and recipients of travel support are selected by the 2022 CVPR Doctoral Consortium co-chairs. Travel awards partially cover any admissible conference-related costs such as registration, airfare, lodging, and board, up to $1200. The budget also includes support for a light lunch during the Doctoral Consortium event for 60 people (student participants and mentors). This year’s Doctoral Consortium is a hybrid event (allowing in-person and remote participation), features a poster session, one-on-one or small group mentoring, and panel discussion. The Doctoral Consortium aims to have representation from a diverse group of participants in terms of gender, ethnic background, academic institution, and geographic location.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.
