Students are the lifeblood of ISIF and the future of information fusion. Tammy Blair played a key role in the organizing committee for multiple FUSION conferences and was passionate about involving students. Tammy died in San Diego, California during the week following the 2009 FUSION conference, where she contracted the Swine Flu. The ISIF Tammy Blair Best Student Paper Award encourages the involvement of young researchers and scientists in information fusion. It honors Tammy Blair's commitment to ISIF and her efforts to involve students in the annual FUSION conference. In addition to the best student paper, as judged by the ICIF organizing committee, two runners-up are recognized annually. All awardees receive certificates and honorariums. Student authors of finalist papers are required to attend the ICIF. In 2020, Tammy Blair Student best paper award went to Keith LeGrand and Silvia Ferreira for their work on “The Role of Bounded Fields-of-View and Negative Information in Finite Set Statistics (FISST)”
