IEEE CNS 2016-Travel Grants
IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security
Philadelphia, PA USA
17-19 October 2016
http://cns2016.ieee-cns.org/
IEEE CNS 2016, along with NSF, ARO, IEEE, and other sponsors, would like to
encourage student participation at the
conference. With the support of NSF and ARO, CNS 2016 will be able to partially
support the travel, accommodation,
and registration costs of student registrants who might otherwise be unable to
attend the conference.
All eligible applications will be considered, especially female and
under-represented minority students. We also
encourage those who do not have a paper in the conference, but wish to attend,
to submit a travel grant application.
We anticipate funding approximately 20-25 students at a rate of $800-$1,000 per
student. The number and amount of
awards will be determined based on the available funding and the applications
received.
Type of Grants
The IEEE CNS 2016 conference is pleased to announce the availability of the
following types of student travel grants
(students are eligible to apply to both types):
A. NSF and ARO travel grant opportunity for US-based students and junior
researchers
B. Travel grants sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society for students
only.
Eligibility Requirements
Following the application guidelines below, a student or junior researcher may
apply to one or both categories for
which she/he is eligible. The eligibility criteria for each category are:
A. These student travel grants are sponsored by the U.S. National Science
Foundation and Army Research Office. To
qualify, a student must be a graduate student studying in an accredited U.S.
institution at the time of attending CNS
2016. Student recipients must submit valid receipts for reimbursement after the
conference. Only airfare on a US-
based carrier will be reimbursed by this type of support.
B. These student travel grants are sponsored by the IEEE Communications
Society. Applications are invited from
qualified full-time graduate students. To qualify, a student must (i) be an
author of an accepted conference paper
and presents the paper at the conference; (ii) be a valid Student Member of the
COMSOC at the time of application;
(iii) be a full-time student registered toward a Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D.
degree in engineering or related field
in a college or university when submitting the application; (iv) applicant may
not receive more than one IEEE ComSoc
STG in any 12-month period.
C. This year, we will have limited support for junior researchers (postdoctoral
researchers and junior faculty). A
junior researcher applying for the travel grant has to be affiliated with an
accredited U.S. institution at the time
of attending CNS 2016. Junior researcher travel is sponsored by the Army
Research Office.

Applicants should create their application as a single PDF file, following the
format described below. Direct links
to the submission (based on the eligibility criteria above) on the following

An application for a travel grant will consist of:
A request letter from the student or applicant (see below).
CV of the applicant.
A supporting letter from the graduate advisor (for graduate students and
postdoctoral researchers only; junior
faculty do not need to provide a supporting letter).
Expected expenses (broken down as registration, travel, and lodging). It is
anticipated that travel grants will
partially cover these overall costs.
Incomplete applications will not be considered.
The request letter from the student should include the following information:
Name
Affiliation
Address
Type of applicant (junior faculty, postdoc, PhD, MS, undergraduate, etc.)
A clear indication of the type(s) of travel grant the applicant is applying for
(A and/or B)
Number of years that the applicant has been in the current program, and
expected date of completion of degree (for
students only)
Name and email address of advisor (for students and postdoctoral researchers)
Title and Authors of paper presenting at CNS 2016 conference, if applicable.
A short statement (maximum 250 words) describing briefly why the applicant
wants to attend CNS 2016.
The advisor's recommendation letter for the student or postdoctoral researcher
should include:
Confirmation that junior researcher or student is a full-time postdoc, Ph.D.,
or M.S. candidate in good academic
standing at the given institution.
Explain how this particular researcher/student would benefit from attendance at
the conference.
The strengths and potential contributions of the student.
If an advisor prefers to submit the recommendation letter separately, please
ask her/him to email it (pdf file) to
the Student Travel Grant Chairs Aziz Mohaisen ([email protected]) and Wendy
Wang ([email protected]) by August
25, 2016.

in the US) if applicable.
