Student Travel Grants for WUWNet'11
Overview
WUWNet 2011 has received travel grants from National Science
Foundation (NSF), to support student authors to present
their work in the regular sessions, and the work-in-progress
poster and demo session at 2011 ACM International Workshop
on UnderWater Networks (WUWNet'11) in Seattle, Washington,
USA, December 1-2, 2011.
The goal is to broaden participation in the workshop by
supporting students with interests in underwater network
research who would otherwise be unable to attend.
The Call for Work-in-progress Posters and The Call for Demo
/Doctoral Symposium are at
http://wuwnet.acm.org/2011/posters.php
The extended abstract due dates are Oct. 14 (Fri), 2011
Please consider a submission.
The amount of support provided to each student will be up to
a maximum of $900 if they are not local (more than three
hours of driving distance from the workshop site) and up to
$600 otherwise. The support is intended to defray, but not
necessarily to cover entirely, the costs of attending the
workshop. The costs include workshop registration (at the
student rate), hotel, and transportation.
A total of about 15 ~ 20 students will be supported.
The award will be handled via reimbursements. Each
legitimate expense must be documented with an original
official receipt (e.g., air ticket and hotel receipt).
Further details of the reimbursement procedure will be
communicated to the award recipients.
Applications
When applying for the WUWNet 2011 travel grant, a graduate
student needs to submit his/her vita, a short personal
statement, and a supporting email from the student's
advisor.
The personal statement (half to one page) should include:
1. A brief summary of research interests and
accomplishments to date;
2. A description of areas in the ACM WUWNet 2011 program
that would impact the student's research;
3. The paper/poster/demo that the student is an author
on, if applicable.
In addition, the student's advisor should send an email to
confirm that the student is a bona fide Ph.D. or M.S.
candidate in good standing.
Applications and the support letters should be emailed by
the applicant and the applicant's advisor, respectively, to
shengli at engr.uconn.edu with subject line "WUWNet11 Student
Travel Grant Application" or "WUWNet Student Travel Grant
Support Letter". ASCII format is strongly preferred,
although PDF format is acceptable.
The travel grant committee is headed by Prof. Shengli Zhou
and Dr. Payman Arabshahi.
Eligibility: students must be from U.S. based institutions.
Priority will be given to students who are authors of
regular papers, short papers, or posters, and team members
of the demos. Depending on the funding, other student
attendants will also be considered.
