Apply for ART@SC24: Survey to Assess Interest and Eligibility (US candidates)

Please respond by April 30, 2024. Successful applicants will be notified by May 30, 2024.

Survey feedback will help us plan an event surrounding the Supercomputing Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, November 15-22 (Nov. 15-16 is the pre-conference workshop, and SC runs Nov. 17-22).

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

1. Applications are welcome from US research computing and data (RCD) professionals who actively work with high-performance computing clusters (HPC), support people who use HPC, in academic, industrial or government lab settings or conduct outreach to K-20 communities in underserved regions. Applications from minority-serving institutions, EPSCoR states, and demographics that are under-represented in RCD careers will be favored. Funds pending, we will have limited support for a number of delegates' US flight, lodging, registration and per diem. The conference has donated a limited number of full tech program registrations (workshops and tutorials included - the full meal deal!).
1.US applicants: Are you planning to attend SC24 and are supported by your institution to do so?
2.US applicants: If you answered "yes," are you able to pay for your own expenses, and apply for a reimbursement from NSF funds after the conference (noting that short staffing and winter break may delay reimbursements)?
3.US applicants: If you answered "No" would your institution approve time off for you to attend SC24 and a pre-conference workshop (Nov. 15-16) if you had NSF support in the form of a post-conference reimbursement for your registration (if you don't receive a donated registration), flight, lodging and per diem expenses?
4.Please let us know who you are: Name, institution, snail-mail and email addresses.
5.BUDGET:

Please provide an itemized budget of anticipated expenses. Include lodging (GSA rate if possible), travel (flight or mileage comparable to flight cost), per diem (US GSA rate for Atlanta - meals that are not provided by the workshop or conference), and registration (tech program with workshops and tutorials - if one is not provided by ART@SC24). This will help us determine how many can be supported from limited funds.

If you are granted a full registration (workshops and tutorials), and participant support, you are expected to participate in the full conference and pre-conference workshop. All who accept participant support are required to pay-it-forward by blogging for STEM-Trek, or by hosting a workshop at home (and blogging about it for STEM-Trek). Blogs are required if you are to be considered for support in the future. Those who have blogged in the past are favored for reconsideration each year.

Blogs about the activity will be accepted within three months after the conference.
