Student Travel Grants for ISPASS 2017 (due April 3)

Supported by NSF, TCCA, and TCuARCH

2017 IEEE International Symposium on Performance Analysis of Systems and Software (ISPASS) Santa Rosa, CA, USA April 24-25, 2017

ISPASS is now offering travel support to encourage student participation at the conference. Applications and the grant amount will be decided on a case-by-case basis (i.e., funding is NOT guaranteed). Priority will be granted to:

• Students presenting research at the conference
• Students from small institutions and universities that do not have a strong tradition in the ISPASS research domain
• Students who do not have support from their advisors through other grants
• US citizens/permanent residents (for NSF funds)
• Attendees who belong to underrepresented groups (including women)

The deadline for submitting travel funding applications is April 3rd. Please send them by email to the Student Travel Grant Chair, Professor Kelly Shaw (kshaw@richmond.edu). Use the subject line "ISPASS 2017 Student Travel Grant Application."

The travel grant application must include:

• The name of the student, the student's institution and advisor
• US citizenship or residency information
• Membership in an underrepresented group if applicable
• A resume (including IEEE and/or ACM student membership numbers if available)
• A cover letter stating the reason for attending ISPASS and a description of research interests
• A statement from the student's advisor confirming the student's eligibility and recommending the student to attend ISPASS
• Information about other sources of funding
• Estimate of conference-related expenses

Students with disabilities or those attending with a child under one year of age may request additional funds to support a travel companion in their application.

In order to be reimbursed, the student will have to present original receipts and fill out the travel expense claim form (we will provide the form at a later time).
