This award provides partial support for the first International BioCurator Meeting (IBCM), to be held on December 8-11, 2005 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, CA. The overall objective of this conference is to bring together the diverse group of scientists worldwide who create and maintain the content of the biological databases so vital to modern biomedical and biological research. The majority of the audience will be database curators and curator assistants. Database curators are typically scientists with Ph.D. in biology or a related field, often with some years of post-doctoral research experience. Curator assistants are typically graduate undergraduate students, or recent graduates with a B.A. or M.A. in biology or a related field. We also expect participation by projects heads (professors, project managers, lead scientists), postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and database and software developers. The conference will convene over a period of two and a half days and will consist of daytime oral sessions and evening poster sessions covering four major topics: literature curation and collection, genome sequence annotation and comparative genomics, ontology development, and curation of large-scale functional genomics data. Oral sessions will include three hour-long plenary lectures and 20 shorter talks (20 or 30 minutes each). Twelve of the shorter talks will be given by invited speakers, and the remainder will be chosen from the abstracts submitted. There will be a moderated discussion session at the end of each day. The poster sessions will be dedicated to developments in curation tools, techniques, and quality control, and will also include demonstrations of informatics resources. The objectives for this meeting are to stimulate communication within the biocurator community in order to enhance the quality of these database resources, and to promote the recognition of biological curation as a profession. As the sheer volume of biological information increases exponentially, the importance of databases in keeping it organized and easily accessible to the entire international research community also increases. Thus although the direct audience for this meeting may be currently composed of several hundred people, the implications of this meeting for improved curation and integration of biological data reach to the entire international biomedical and biological research community.

该奖项为2005年12月8日至11日在加利福尼亚太平洋格罗夫的Asilomar会议场地举行的首次国际生物库会议（IBCM）提供了部分支持。这次会议的总体目的是将各种各样的科学家组融合在一起，这些科学家在全球范围内创建和维护对现代生物医学和生物学研究至关重要的生物数据库的内容。大多数受众将是数据库策展人和策展人助手。数据库策展人通常是博士学位的科学家。在生物学或相关领域，通常具有多年的博士后研究经验。策展人助理通常是毕业生的本科生，或近期毕业生的学士学位。或生物学或相关领域的硕士。我们还希望项目负责人（教授，项目经理，主要科学家），博士后研究人员，研究生以及数据库和软件开发人员的参与。会议将在两天半的时间内召集，并包括白天的口头会议和晚间海报会议，其中涵盖了四个主要主题：文献策展和收集，基因组序列注释和比较基因组学，本体论发展以及大规模功能基因组学数据的策划。口头会议将包括三个小时的全体会议和20个较短的会谈（每次20分钟或30分钟）。被邀请的演讲者将进行十二个简短的谈判，其余的将从提交的摘要中选择。每天结束时将举行一个调节会议。海报会议将致力于策展工具，技术和质量控制的发展，还将包括信息学资源的演示。这次会议的目标是刺激生物效力研究员社区内的沟通，以提高这些数据库资源的质量，并促进对生物策划作为一种职业的认识。随着庞大的生物信息量成倍增加，数据库在保持其组织和易于访问的数据库中的重要性也会增加。因此，尽管这次会议的直接受众目前可能由数百人组成，但这次会议的含义是改善生物数据覆盖范围与整个国际生物医学和生物学研究界的策划和整合。
