This project funds U.S. student participation at the 12th annual IEEE North American School for Information Theory (NASIT). Information Theory studies the transmission, processing, and use of information in many contexts; it draws from and contributes to a large number of disciplines in the engineering, computer, and mathematical sciences. The types of research topics presented by students at this summer school and the tutorial areas discussed by lecturers, will span foundational theory, algorithmic design, and implementation in practice. This travel award can help the participating students get a fuller understanding of the various facets of information theory, helping build out their professional networks and enrich their research experience overall.NASIT is an annual educational event initiated in 2008 by the IEEE Information Theory Society, and regularly involves between 60 to 100 graduate student participants from across North America. The format consists of several half-day tutorials delivered by high-profile researchers from within and adjacent to the information theory community. Students are also given an opportunity to present posters of their ongoing research and receive feedback from each other as well as tutorial speakers and faculty organizers. Approximately 60 students will receive partial travel support to cover their costs of attending this event.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.

该项目资助美国学生参加第 12 届年度 IEEE 北美信息论学院 (NASIT)。信息论研究多种情况下信息的传输、处理和使用；它借鉴并促进了工程、计算机和数学科学中的大量学科。本次暑期学校学生提出的研究主题类型和讲师讨论的教程领域将涵盖基础理论、算法设计和实践实施。该旅行奖可以帮助参赛学生更全面地了解信息论的各个方面，帮助他们建立专业网络并丰富他们的研究经验。NASIT是由IEEE信息论学会于2008年发起的年度教育活动，定期有来自北美各地的 60 至 100 名研究生参加。该格式包括几个为期半天的教程，由来自信息论界内部和邻近领域的知名研究人员提供。学生还有机会展示他们正在进行的研究的海报，并收到彼此以及教程演讲者和教师组织者的反馈。大约 60 名学生将获得部分旅行支持，以支付参加本次活动的费用。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，认为值得支持。
