This proposal requests funding to subsidize student-related expenses (e.g., travel, registration,and accommodation) incurred by US students attending the 46th annual North American PowerSymposium (NAPS). NAPS 2014 will be hosted by Washington State University in Pullman, WA,from September 7 to September 9, 2014. NAPS is a nonprofit event with technical sponsorshipfrom IEEE and is aimed primarily at a student audience. Traditionally, the overwhelming majorityof papers in NAPS are presented by students. NAPS has been supported by the National ScienceFoundation in the past, which has positively influenced student participation. Based on theattendance trend from previous years, it is anticipated that the subsidy provided throughthis grant can significantly increase the number of students participating in NAPS in thisyear as well. In addition to providing subsidized accommodation for students, our effortsto foster and encourage student participation include a comprehensive student program, toursof nearby attractions, and a student paper competition. Moreover, measures will be taken toencourage participation of women and underrepresented minorities in NAPS.

该提案要求提供资金补贴参加第 46 届年度北美电力研讨会 (NAPS) 的美国学生产生的与学生相关的费用（例如旅行、注册和住宿）。 NAPS 2014 将于 2014 年 9 月 7 日至 9 日在华盛顿州普尔曼市由华盛顿州立大学主办。NAPS 是一项非盈利活动，由 IEEE 提供技术赞助，主要面向学生观众。传统上，NAPS 中的绝大多数论文都是由学生提交的。 NAPS过去一直得到美国国家科学基金会的支持，这对学生的参与产生了积极的影响。根据往年的出勤趋势，预计本次资助的资助也能大幅增加今年参加NAPS的学生人数。除了为学生提供住宿补贴外，我们还努力培养和鼓励学生参与，包括全面的学生计划、附近景点游览和学生论文竞赛。此外，还将采取措施鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数群体参与 NAPS。
