IEEE ICDH 2022 - Student Grants & Awards

Student Grants & Awards

Funding for the ICDH student competition has been provided through the National Science Foundation and the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TCSVC).

The ICDH organizing committee is hosting a student competition event for US-based and global graduate students and support participant’s registration fees. The students will be selected based on a project idea submission which will be evaluated by distinguished judges. Winners also will receive mentoring from selected judges. The mentoring activities will explore and expand research ideas on digital health. Minorities and women graduate students from diverse institutes are encouraged to apply throughout the diffusion of the participation grant in minority-serving institutions. Post-doctoral students may also be considered for support on a case-by-case basis.
