Travel Grant: Conference Support for the Python in Heliophysics Community (PyHC) 2024 Summer School; Boulder, Colorado; May 20-24, 2024

该奖项将为20多名选定的参与者提供旅行支持，参加将于5月20日至24日在博尔德的大气和空间物理实验室（LASP）举行的20-24年太阳物理学社区Python（PyHC）暑期学校，PyHC 2024暑期学校将为与会者提供一个平台，以了解更多关于开源软件（OSS）的信息。与太阳物理学和空间物理学社区合作，获得与OSS软件项目合作的知识，并讨论和合作开放软件包和技术。 该项目旨在提高妇女和其他少数民族、学生、早期职业和博士后开发人员和科学家以及来自较小机构的潜在与会者的代表性。 演示文稿，教程和演示的数字副本将被收集并在线保存在PyHC的YouTube频道上供公众观看，材料将存储在PyHC GitHub存储库中供公众访问。 PyHC 2024暑期学校将作为太阳物理学社区的聚会，聚集在一起，了解更多关于现有开源Python软件的信息。与会者将通过PyHC软件包的透镜获得开源Python太阳物理学软件的概述。将涵盖的主题包括PyHC核心软件包介绍，时间，坐标和SPICE内核以及PyHC软件如何处理这些，相关软件主题的“如何”会议，参与者提交问题的小组会议，由PyHC软件包开发人员回答，互操作性会议，利用PyHC软件的学生小组活动，以及介绍太阳物理学中的人工智能和机器学习。暑期学校的参与者将使用NASA HelioCloud平台，为他们提供云软件方面的经验。旅行奖励标准将由暑期学校组织委员会制定和审查，并将基于需求，相关性，职业阶段和公平考虑。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力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 award will provide travel support up to 20+ selected participants to participate in the 2024 Python in Heliophysics Community (PyHC) summer school to be held on May 20-24 at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) in Boulder, CO. The PyHC 2024 summer school will provide a platform for attendees to learn more about Open-Source Software (OSS) efforts with the Heliophysics and space physics communities, gain knowledge in working with OSS software projects, and discuss and collaborate on open software packages and techniques. The project seeks to boost representation of women and other minorities, students, early career and post-doctoral developers and scientists, and potential attendees from smaller institutions. Digital copies of presentations, tutorials, and demonstrations will be collected and kept online on PyHC’s YouTube channel for public viewing and the material will be stored in the PyHC GitHub repository for public access. The PyHC 2024 Summer School will serve as a gathering for the Heliophysics community to come together and learn more on the existing open-source Python software available for their use. Attendees will receive an overview of open-source Python Heliophysics software through the lens of PyHC packages. Topics to be covered include PyHC core package introductions, a look into time, coordinates and SPICE kernels and how PyHC software handles those, a “how to” session for relevant software topics, a panel session where participants submit questions to be answered by the PyHC package developers, interoperability sessions, student group activities leveraging PyHC software, and an introduction to artificial intelligence and machine learning in Heliophysics. Summer school participants will work with the NASA HelioCloud platform, providing them with experience on cloud software. Travel award criteria will be developed and vetted by the Summer School organizing committee and will be based on need, relevance, career stage, and equity for considerations.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.
