FOCUS TO OFFER PARTIAL TRAVEL SUPPORT
TO IFIP CONGRESS '94
IN HAMBURG, GERMANY
 
 
 
The Federation on Computing in the United States (FOCUS), organized jointly
by the IEEE Computer Society and the ACM, has requested a grant from the
National Science Foundation to provide partial travel support to U.S.
participants at the 13th World Computer Congress of the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).  IFIP Congress '94 will be
held in Hamburg, Germany, August 28 - September 2, 1994.
 
If the grant is approved, FOCUS will be able to support travel for
approximately 20 attendees.
Funding will be limited to $1000 maximum per attendee.  A review panel
consisting of a representative from the FOCUS Board of Directors and other
experts in the field will evaluate individual grant applications.  None of
the review panel members or members of the FOCUS Board of Directors will be
eligible for a travel grant under this program.  Applicants should provide
the selection committee with a current resume and relevant details of their
planned
conference activities (i.e., present papers, chair sessions, serve as panel
members, etc.) and/or how participation will benefit their current
activities and research.  Junior and minority faculty members are especially
encouraged to apply.
 
All award recipients must be residents of the U.S. and travel by U.S.
carriers.  In addition, they will be required to file a brief report
following the conference on their activities and experience at the Congress.
 
Individuals wishing to submit applications should contact the FOCUS
Secretariat, 1730 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20036-1992; phone
(202) 371-0101, fax (202) 728-9614; e-mail (internet:  grant@computer.org).
 
In addition to its U.S. representation in IFIP, FOCUS provides a forum for
its member societies to exchange views about U.S. and IFIP computing
activities. Other U.S. societies dedicated to its purposes may apply for
membership.
