TRAVEL GRANTS



The IRTF is pleased to be able to provide a limited number of travel grants and
other financial support to attend research group meetings and workshops. The
following types of support are available:

 * Diversity travel grants
 * Applied Networking Research Workshop travel grants
 * Support to attend co-located IRTF and IETF meetings


DIVERSITY TRAVEL GRANTS

We are pleased to offer a number of Diversity Travel Grants to support
early-career academics and PhD students from under-represented groups to attend
the IRTF meetings co-located with the IETF-113 Meeting in Vienna, Austria, in
March 2022 (provisional, depending on the health situation with COVID-19; see
COVID-related requirements for IETF-113).

The selection criteria for IRTF Diversity Grants will prioritize people who:

 * Are from a demographic that is under-represented in the IRTF;
 * Are PhD students or early-career academics (PhD students should have
   completed at least one year of full-time study in their PhD programme;
   early-career academics should be within their first four years of paid
   post-PhD employment at a University);
 * Can demonstrate engagement with research of relevance to the IRTF (work with
   a focus on congestion control, transport protocols, network measurement or
   path-aware networking is especially encouraged, but we will consider work of
   relevance to all areas of IRTF).

Interested applicants should submit an application letter and up-to-date CV as
PDF documents. The application letter should be clearly state the following
information:

 * the name of the applicant, their University, and whether they are a PhD
   student or early-career researcher;
 * a link to their personal or departmental webpage;
 * a summary of research interests and plans for future research;
 * an statement of why the attendance at the IRTF is important to the
   applicant’s research and how they will contribute to the research group
   meeting;
 * a cost estimate, including the cost of economy air or rail fare,
   accommodation, or other costs, and identifying the source of any price
   quotes; and
 * any additional information the applicant feels is relevant to support their
   case.

Send application materials »

If the applicant is a PhD student, their adviser must also send a letter of
support verifying the applicant’s good standing in the institution, and
confirming that they have completed at least one year of full-time (or
equivalent part-time) PhD study.

Applicants will be reviewed by a selection committee comprising:

Important dates are as follows:

Diversity grant application deadline January 25, 2022 Diversity grant
notification deadline February 1, 2021 IETF Meeting at IETF 113 in Vienna March
19-25, 2022

IRTF diversity travel grants for IETF 113 are supported by Netflix and Comcast.

 

     

 

Support for remote attendance during the COVID-19 pandemic: The focus of the
diversity travel grants is on in-person attendance at IRTF meetings co-located
with the IETF since we believe this offers the best opportunity to connect with
the community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, however, we will also consider
applications to offset reasonable costs incurred to support remote attendance
(e.g., childcare, travel to a local meeting hub, etc.) where such would
encourage diversity of participation. Such applications should be submitted
following the process for diversity travel grants outlined above. We are
grateful to Comcast for this support.

Fee waivers for remote attendance are available under a separate programme and
are not covered by these diversity grants.


APPLIED NETWORKING RESEARCH WORKSHOP TRAVEL GRANTS

The ACM/IRTF Applied Networking Research Workshop (ANRW) is an annual academic
workshop that provides a forum for researchers, vendors, network operators, and
the Internet standards community to present and discuss emerging results in
applied networking research, and to find inspiration from topics and open
problems discussed at the IETF.

A number of travel grants are available for students to attend the ANRW each
year. The requirements, application process, and deadline vary slightly each
year, so please see the ANRW webpage for details of the current workshop and its
travel grant programme.


SUPPORT TO ATTEND CO-LOCATED IRTF AND IETF MEETINGS

Many IRTF Research Groups meet co-located with IETF standards meetings.
Registration for these meetings is handled by the IETF, and a single
registration permits attendance at the IETF working groups and at any co-located
IRTF research group meetings. The IETF offers a substantial discount on the
registration fee for full-time students, and a discounted pass for one day
attendance.

Live streaming and remote attendance at such meetings is also available. This is
free of charge, but requires advance registration.

Details are provided on the IETF Registration Page.

The IRTF has a limited number of complementary one day passes available to cover
registration costs for those who would not otherwise be able to attend an IRTF
research group meeting co-located with the IETF. Contact the IRTF chair for
details, explaining why you need such a pass, and stating what research group(s)
you wish to attend, at what meeting, and what contribution you will make to the
group.
