$24,000 DAC scholarships to support
graduate research and study
DEADLINE: January 28, 2002
The 39th Design Automation
Conference plans to award scholarships to support graduate
research and study in electronic design automation and circuit
design.
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

Applications for the scholarships,
either new or renewal, should be submitted by the faculty
investigator and must include:

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.
Please submit four hard copies

Prof. Robert Walker
Kent State University
Dept. of Computer Science
351 Math & CS Bldg.
Kent, OH 44242
OR email a PDF or Word file to Prof. Walker at walker@cs.kent.edu.
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.
