The Career Workshop is pleased to provide travel grants to broaden the participation in the workshop. Students as well as junior faculty and researchers in computer architecture are eligible to apply. Students are encouraged to submit applications to both this workshop and to the MICRO conference student travel grants.

This support is made possible by the generous support from ACM SIGMICRO, IEEE TCCA, JST, and IBM Research. The grants will partially cover an applicant's travel cost to Fukuoka, Japan where the MICRO Career Workshop will be held.

Priority for travel grants will be given to women and minority applicants, with a particular emphasis on student presenters at the MICRO Career Workshop and early tenure PhD students.

Special funding will be provided for Companion Travel Grants to support attendees with disabilities or a parent of an infant less than one year old who cannot travel without the infant and a care provider for the infant

1. Contact information, including the name of the student's institution
