The IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) is the premier international conference in information theory, the scientific discipline that studies the mathematical foundations of reliable communications, whether by telephony, television, wireless or optical systems, and the fundamental limits of data storage, such as CDs, DVDs, flash drives, or other semiconductor media. The symposium series has run since 1954, originally every two years, and yearly since 2000. This project funds the participation of US-based students in this event. Participation at this conference will enhance the research experiences for students and provide increased opportunities for new collaborations.Students form an integral part of the Information Theory community, and the IEEE ISIT Conference continues to promote student participation through the ISIT Jack Kiel Wolf Best Student Paper Award, the creation of the ISIT tutorial series, and the Information Theory Society Student Committee. Students comprise about one-third of the participants at ISIT, and the travel funds offered through this award will support the attendance at the 2019 ISIT by students enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program in the United States and whose papers have been accepted for presentation.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.

IEEE 国际信息论研讨会 (ISIT) 是信息论领域的首要国际会议，信息论是一门研究可靠通信（无论是通过电话、电视、无线还是光学系统）的数学基础的科学学科，以及数据存储的基本限制，例如 CD、DVD、闪存驱动器或其他半导体介质。该研讨会系列自 1954 年以来一直举办，最初每两年举办一次，自 2000 年起每年举办一次。该项目资助美国学生参加这一活动。参加本次会议将增强学生的研究经验，并为新的合作提供更多机会。学生是信息论社区不可或缺的一部分，IEEE ISIT 会议通过 ISIT Jack Kiel Wolf 最佳学生论文奖继续促进学生参与、ISIT教程系列的创建以及信息论学会学生委员会。学生约占 ISIT 参与者的三分之一，通过该奖项提供的旅行资金将支持在美国就读研究生或本科课程且论文已被接受发表的学生参加 2019 年 ISIT。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。
