  • Please submit near-complete versions of required materials #1-5, except for #4 (letters of recommendation): you may submit only the names of expected external references (external letters needed for the solicitation are not required for the internal submission).
  • Please also include your primary choice of research area, and optionally a secondary choice, from the following 12 areas (see attachment for more information): Privacy Preserving Machine Learning, Human Centered AI, AI for Ethics and Fairness, AI for Accessibility, AI for Health and Wellness, ML Theory, ML Algorithms and Architectures, Embodied ML, Speech and Natural Language, Computer Vision, Information Retrieval and Knowledge, Data-Centric AI.
  • Please indicate whether the nominated student identifies as a member of a traditionally underrepresented group in the technology industry.

Number of nominations per School/Department:

  • Schools/Departments should coordinate to submit internally no more than the number of nominations that GT may submit collectively.
  • Each university is limited to 3 nominations; it is encouraged that at least one nomination be used for a student who identifies as a member of a traditionally underrepresented group in the technology industry.
  • Each university is also limited to one nomination per area from the 12 areas listed, so the submissions to CoC from a given School/Department should represent distinct areas. For submissions that overlap areas, we can consider primary and secondary areas and adjust as needed.
