$24,000 scholarships to support
graduate research and study
DEADLINE: January 29, 2001
The 38th Design Automation Conference
plans to award up to three $24,000 scholarships to support graduate
research and study in electronic design automation and circuit
design. In addition, the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society has
agreed to provide funds for two additional scholarships.
These scholarships are intended to support graduate students
of Faculty Investigators at universities trying to establish
new programs in electronic design automation or circuit design
and/or graduate students of young Faculty Investigators (assistant
rank, non-tenured) working in electronic design automation or
circuit design.
These
scholarships are awarded directly to a university for the Faculty
Investigator to expend in accordance with his or her proposal.
The university is free to use the scholarship funds in direct
support of one or more of the graduate students named in the
proposal, in the manner outlined in the proposal, except that
the funds shall not be used to support indirect costs or overhead.
PROPOSAL
FORMAT
Applications for the scholarship,
either new or renewal, should be submitted by the Faculty
Investigator and must include:
-
A brief (3 pages maximum) curriculum vitae of the Faculty
Investigator;
-
A brief (2 pages maximum) biography of each student proposed
for the scholarship presenting their credentials and outlining
their career goals and objectives;
-
A brief (5 pages maximum) proposal describing the research
to be conducted and the way in which the scholarship funds
are to be expended;
-
A brief (1 page maximum) statement of the impact of the
scholarship on the design program at the Faculty Investigator's
institution;
-
A listing of all current and pending support (indicating
support provider, support duration, and support dollar amount)
for the Faculty Investigator and each student involved in
the proposal; and
-
An indication of any previous DAC Graduate Scholarship awarded
to the Faculty Investigator.
The
original and two copies of the application should be mailed
to by January 29, 2001:
James
P. Cohoon
University of Virginia
Department of Computer Science
151 Engineer's Way
204 Olsson Hall
Charlottesville, VA 22901
SELECTION
CRITERIA
Scholarships will be awarded based
on the following criteria:
- Quality
and applicability of the proposed research;
- Impact
of the award on the program at the Faculty Investigator's
institution;
- Academic
credentials of the student(s);
- Need
(preference will be given to students and programs that
can demonstrate financial need).
RESTRICTIONS
AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The scholarship funds must only be used
to support the students and research named in the winning proposals.
Because the award decisions are made based on the named students
and specified research, no substitutions may be made without
express written permission. Without such permission, the scholarship
recipient will forfeit the award if the conditions of the research
proposed change.
Scholarships
can be awarded in support of new projects or for one renewal
of a previous DAC Graduate Scholarship. An application from
either the same Faculty Investigator or student awardee from
a previous year is considered a renewal application.
The
Faculty Investigator must submit a brief report of the year's
activities supported by the scholarship for publication in the
newsletters of the sponsoring organizations (ACM/SIGDA and/or
IEEE/CAS). This report should be submitted at the conclusion
of the year supported.
