马凯特大学教授Dennis Brylow获53.8万美元GAANN拨款：支持4名计算机科学博士研究员三年
位于威斯康星州密尔沃基县Milwaukee市的马凯特大学（Marquette University）宣布，该校计算机科学系教授兼系主任Dennis Brylow获美国教育部「国家需求领域研究生援助」（GAANN）项目资助538,000美元，用于该校计算机科学研究生教育。
这笔资助将支持该校计算机科学博士项目中的4名GAANN研究员，为期三年。校方表示，将为这些研究员提供资金与其他支持，帮助他们在这一全国性人才短缺的领域从事研究与教学。Brylow说，这笔钱意在打破经济壁垒：本科计算机科学毕业生本已能拿到不错的薪水，加上读研成本高，国内毕业生往往不被鼓励继续攻读研究生学位；博士生与教师中看得见的榜样不足，也让一些人却步。他希望这笔资助能扩大并多元化计算机科学博士人才的培养管道。
GAANN是美国教育部的研究生资助项目，面向国家需求领域，支持有经济需求的优秀研究生攻读学位，并帮助高校培养未来的教师与研究人员。

Marquette Professor Dennis Brylow Wins $538,000 GAANN Grant: Funding Supports Four Computer Science Doctoral Fellows for Three Years
Marquette University, in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, announced that Dennis Brylow, professor and chair of the university's Department of Computer Science, has been selected by the U.S. Department of Education for $538,000 in funding through the Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) program for graduate computer science education.
The grant will support four GAANN fellows for three years within the university's computer science doctoral program. Marquette says it will provide financial and other support for the fellows to pursue research and teaching in a field facing a national shortage. Brylow said the funding is meant to break down financial barriers: domestic computer science graduates are often not encouraged to pursue graduate study because of the high cost of education and the fair salary an undergraduate degree already commands, and a lack of visible role models among graduate students and faculty holds some back. He said the funding will help expand and diversify the pipeline of doctoral scholars in computer science.
GAANN is a U.S. Department of Education program that supports graduate students with financial need who are pursuing degrees in areas of national need, and helps institutions prepare future teachers and researchers.
