Travel Grants

The organizing committee of the SP 2008 is pleased to announce the availability of funds to support student and junior faculty/researcher travel and registration to attend this year's symposium and workshops. We would like encourage student and junior faculty/researcher participation by subsidizing the travel costs of individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.

Grants are supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), and the U.S. Army Research Office (ARO).



Application Process

Requests for funding will be accepted up until the last day of the conference as funding allows, but will begin making awards on April 18, 2008. To increase your chance, requests for funding should be sent to oakland08-generalchair @ ieee-security.org before April 15, 2008.

The organizing committee of the SP 2008 is pleased to announce availability of funds to support student and junior faculty/researcher travel and registration to attend this year's symposium and workshops. Students receiving funding will receive up to $900, and junior faculty/researcher will receive up to $1200, to offset reasonable expenses associated with attendance. Grants are available to students, junior faculty, and postdoctoral researcher from US schools only. The decision will be made by the SP 2008 Travel Grant Committee.

Eligibility Requirements

Any graduate student, junior faculty member or a postdoctoral researcher from US schools may apply. Any recipient of a travel grant must register for the symposium and/or workshops, and may be invited to help some conference/workshop events and/or registration desk as a volunteer. Awards will be made given on several factors and the priority will be given to a) historical under-represented and minority institutions, b) student authors presenting at the symposium or workshops, and c) economic need.

Application Materials

To apply, the student's advisor should send a one paragraph statement of economic need, student's progress toward graduation, student's CV, and research in areas related to S&P to: oakland08-generalchair @ ieee-security.org with the subject "SP 2008 Travel Grant Application". Junior faculty or postdoctoral researcher should send an email request including CV and short statement of economic need and research areas related to S&P to the same address.

Note: Please do not send email directly to the SP 2008 Travel Grant Committee members. If you are planning to attend one of the workshops on May 22, 2008, please specify which workshop (SADFE or W2SP) you will attend.

Important Dates

  • We anticipate that all funding will be allocated very soon after April 15, 2008, so it behooves students and junior faculty/researcher to ensure requests are sent in prior to that date.
  • Award announcements will be made on (or after) April 18, 2008.
  • Please forward any further questions to the email address above. We look forward to seeing you in Oakland!
