WORKSHOP: Doctoral consortium at the ASSETS 2022 conference

这笔资金用于支持一个由大约15名有前途的研究生（最多10名来自美国，他们将由该奖项资助）组成的博士生联合会（讲习班），沿着还有大约5名杰出的研究教员。 该活动将于10月22日至23日举行，紧接着将于2022年10月24日至26日在希腊雅典举行的第24届国际ACM SIGACCESS计算机和无障碍会议（ASSETS 2022）。 ASSETS会议是介绍主流和专业辅助技术的设计和使用的创新研究的首要论坛，以支持与言语，运动，听力和视力障碍，认知限制，情感和学习障碍，老龄化和计算无障碍教育相关的需求，以及与这些人群合作的专业人员。 来自世界各地的学术界和工业界的研究人员和开发人员将在ASSETS 2022上会面，交流想法并展示他们的最新工作。 有关会议的更多信息可在http://assets22.sigaccess.org/上找到。 建设任何社区的一个关键组成部分是通过青年。 博士生联合会将帮助扩大在这一领域攻读研究生课程的年轻研究人员的参与，为他们提供机会，使他们在社区中更广泛地接触他们的创新工作，并从高级研究人员和同行那里获得反馈和指导。 它将通过让这些年轻研究人员在其专业发展的关键阶段创建一个社交网络来培养他们的社区意识。 由于学生和教师构成了一个跨各种维度的多元化群体，包括国籍/文化和科学学科，学生的视野被拓宽到该领域的未来利益。 为了实现博士生联盟的目标，即提供一个跨学科的氛围，将跨越对资产2022至关重要的多样性领域，学生将被选中跨越一系列的研究兴趣和方法。 组织者将采取特别措施，促进代表性不足群体的学生人数较多的机构参加，并且不会邀请同一教育机构的一名或两名以上的学生参加;如果选择来自同一教育机构的两个学生，至少有一个将来自STEM中代表性不足的少数民族。ASSETS 2022博士联盟将是一个研究-一个由选定的博士组成的国际小组的重点会议候选人的PI和杰出的研究教师小组的指导下。 该活动将由两部分组成：介绍和对话的非正式晚餐（10月22日），随后是一个更正式的全天研讨会，其中包括学生演讲，反馈和小组讨论的混合物，最终在第二次晚餐（10月23日）。 学生参与者将收到来自教师小组关于他们的演示文稿的建设性反馈，这些演示文稿旨在帮助他们理解和阐明他们的工作相对于相关研究的定位，他们的主题是否足够集中于论文研究项目，他们的方法是否正确选择和应用，以及他们的结果是否得到适当的分析和呈现。 因此，博士生联合会将帮助制定旨在辅助技术和普及的正在进行和未来的研究项目;它将促进这些跨学科领域的新研究人员之间的奖学金和网络，并将使年轻研究人员接触更大的社区。 与会者将在会议期间的海报会议上展示他们的工作，并进一步将他们融入研究社区，在技术计划中留出了一个会议，所有人都可以在整个会议上展示他们的研究。 此外，教师小组将为学术界和工业界的研究人员提供就业机会，以便在考虑职业选择时更好地告知学生。 将对该联盟进行评估，并将结果提供给未来此类活动的组织者。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 is funding to support a Doctoral Consortium (workshop) of approximately 15 promising graduate students (up to 10 from the United States, who will be funded by this award), along with about 5 distinguished research faculty. The event will take place on October 22-23, immediately preceding and in conjunction with the 24th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2022), to be held October 24-26, 2022, in Athens, Greece. The ASSETS conferences are the premier forum for presenting innovative research on the design and use of both mainstream and specialized assistive technologies in support of the needs associated with speech, motor, hearing, and vision impairments, cognitive limitations, emotional and learning disabilities, aging and education in computing accessibility, as well as the professionals who work with these populations. Researchers and developers from around the world, in both academia and industry, will meet at ASSETS 2022 to exchange ideas and present their latest work. More information about the conference may be found online at http://assets22.sigaccess.org/. A key component of building any community is through its youth. The Doctoral Consortium will help expand the participation of young researchers pursuing graduate studies in this field, by providing them an opportunity to gain wider exposure in the community for their innovative work and to obtain feedback and guidance from senior researchers and peers. It will foster a sense of community among these young researchers by allowing them to create a social network at a critical stage in their professional development. Because the students and faculty constitute a diverse group across a variety of dimensions, including nationality/cultural and scientific discipline, the students' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field. To fulfill the Doctoral Consortium’s goal of providing an interdisciplinary atmosphere that will span the areas of diversity critical to ASSETS 2022, students will be selected to span a range of research interests and approaches. The organizers will take special steps to promote participation from institutions with relatively large numbers of students from underrepresented groups, and will not invite more than one or two students from the same educational institution; if two students from the same educational institution are selected, at least one will be from an underrepresented minority in STEM.The ASSETS 2022 Doctoral Consortium will be a research-focused meeting of an international group of selected Ph.D. candidates under the guidance of the PI and a panel of distinguished research faculty. The event will be composed of two parts: an informal dinner for introductions and conversation (October 22), followed by a more formal all-day workshop which will include a mixture of student presentations, feedback, and small group discussions culminating in a second dinner (October 23). Student participants will receive constructive feedback from the faculty panel regarding their presentations that is designed to help them understand and articulate how their work is positioned relative to related research, whether their topics are adequately focused for thesis research projects, whether their methods are correctly chosen and applied, and whether their results are appropriately analyzed and presented. Thus, the Doctoral Consortium will help shape ongoing and future research projects aimed at assistive technologies and universal access; it will promote scholarship and networking among new researchers in these interdisciplinary fields, and will also expose the young researchers to a larger community. Participants will showcase their work in a poster session during the conference, and to further integrate them into the research community a session has been set aside in the technical program where all of them can present their research to the full conference. In addition, the faculty panel will give a presentation on job opportunities for researchers both in academia and in industry, to better inform the students when considering career options. An evaluation of the consortium will be carried out and the results made available to the organizers of future such events.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.
