To support and encourage graduate-level research in the area of Instrumentation and Measurement. Award Selection Committee Prize: Total yearly grant budget of $45,000 USD; Maximum of $15,000 USD per grant winner. Award certificate to each selected applicant. Complimentary Instrumentation and Measurement (I&M) Student Membership starting in September of the Grant year and including 2 subsequent years. Funding: Funded by the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society. Presentation: Grant recipients will be announced at the annual I²MTC Conference Awards Banquet. Formal notification of the grant will be sent to the recipients, department and university administrators by May 15 (grant year). Basis for Judging: • Nominating letter from candidate’s graduate advisor. • Two letters of recommendation from someone (other than the nominator) familiar with the candidate’s research and education qualifications. • One-page biographical summary of the candidate. Include the student’s IEEE membership number. • Two-page maximum professional/academic summary CV of the graduate advisor. Include the advisor’s IEEE membership number. • Unofficial copy of the candidate’s transcript. Include an explanation if the grading system differs from the A to F format. • One page (single-spaced) statement, written by the candidate, outlining the education and research goals and accomplishments. This can include summer internship experience, undergraduate, and graduate work. • Research proposal, no more than 5 single-spaced pages, that specifically provides the following information: • Title page containing the title, University name, and contact information of the faculty member submitting the nominating package and the candidate. Include email addresses and phone numbers. • Objectives, approach, and estimated start and completion dates. • The anticipated type of paper (short or full) for the final report must be identified. • Budget for the project. Explicitly outline how the funds from this Fellowship will be allocated. • A letter of support from the faculty member’s department/institution administrator must be submitted (not to be counted as part of the 5-page proposal). This letter must include an explicit statement about the fact that no institutional indirect cost (of any type) will be assessed by the recipient’s institution. Eligibility: • Candidate must be at minimum, a student member of the IEEE. Candidate’s advisor must be a member of the IEEE and the I&M Society. • Previous grant recipients are not eligible for a period of two years after receiving the grant. • No more than one nomination per graduate advisor will be considered. • Both candidate and Advisor must exhibit actions that reflect positively on and enhance the reputation of the I&M Society. Nomination Details: Nomination Deadline: 1 February 2022 Any variation during the timeframe of the grant support should be discussed/approved by the committee chair.
