This award provides support for a three year continuing award, a renewal of the NIBIB-NSF Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institutes (BBSI) Program, entitled, Bioinformatics and Computational Systems Biology Summer Institute (CSBSI) at Iowa State University (ISU) under the direction of Dr. Robert Jernigan. The Departments of Biochemistry, Biophysics and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Development and Cell Biology, Statistics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Plant Pathology, and the Laurence H. Baker Center for Bioinformatics and Biological Statistics (BCBBS) at ISU will continue to host the previously funded NIH-NSF Bioinformatics and Computational Systems Biology Summer Institute and host a nine week summer education and research program for three years. The Institute will support 15 upper level undergraduates and lower-level graduate students each summer for a total of 45 students throughout the duration of the award. The intellectual merit of this program lies in its goal is to introduce upper level undergraduate and lower level graduate students to the use of computer science, statistics and mathematics in answering systems-wide biological questions emerging in integrated biology. The wider goal is to give these students the ability to identify and tackle important research problems in computational and systems biology and to encrouage them to pursue careers in these fields. The institute will feature a two week intensive instructional course focusing on genomics, bioinformatics, and computational biology with applications to genetics, molecular biology, and systems biology. The broader impacts of the CSBSI will be demonstrated in its ability to increase the pool of trained people in bioinformatics and computational biology by instructing students in the fundamentals of systems and computational biology, providing extended research experiences, and by training other academics so that they can instruct their students in these subjects. The course materials, laboratory projects and other didactic materials developed by the investigators for use in the Institute will be freely available to engineers, scientists and educators over the Internet. The project team will also use this material to offer tutorials and workshops at conferences and to give lectures at selected 4-year colleges.This program is being co-funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO)/Division of Biological Infrastructure (DBI)/Plant Genome Research Program, the Directorate for Engineering (ENG)/Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC), and the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB).

该奖项为为期三年的连续奖项提供支持，该奖项是 NIBIB-NSF 生物工程和生物信息学夏季研究所 (BBSI) 项目的更新，该项目名为爱荷华州立大学 (ISU) 的生物信息学和计算系统生物学夏季研究所 (CSBSI)，由 Robert Jernigan 博士指导。 ISU 的生物化学、生物物理学和分子生物学、遗传学、发育和细胞生物学、统计学、电气和计算机工程、计算机科学和植物病理学系以及劳伦斯·H·贝克生物信息学和生物统计学中心 (BCBBS) 将继续主办先前资助的 NIH-NSF 生物信息学和计算系统生物学暑期研究所，并举办为期 9 周的暑期教育和研究 计划为期三年。 该研究所每年夏天将支持 15 名高年级本科生和低年级研究生，整个获奖期间总共有 45 名学生。 该项目的智力价值在于其目标是向高年级本科生和低年级研究生介绍如何使用计算机科学、统计学和数学来回答综合生物学中出现的全系统生物学问题。更广泛的目标是让这些学生有能力识别和解决计算和系统生物学中的重要研究问题，并鼓励他们在这些领域追求职业生涯。 该研究所将举办为期两周的强化教学课程，重点关注基因组学、生物信息学和计算生物学及其在遗传学、分子生物学和系统生物学中的应用。 CSBSI 的更广泛影响将体现在其通过指导学生系统和计算生物学的基础知识、提供扩展的研究经验以及培训其他学者以便他们能够指导学生这些学科，从而增加生物信息学和计算生物学领域受过培训的人才库的能力。 研究人员开发的供研究所使用的课程材料、实验室项目和其他教学材料将通过互联网免费提供给工程师、科学家和教育工作者。 项目团队还将使用该材料在会议上提供教程和讲习班，并在选定的四年制大学进行讲座。该计划由生物科学理事会 (BIO)/生物基础设施部 (DBI)/植物基因组研究计划、工程理事会 (ENG)/工程教育和中心部 (EEC) 以及美国国立卫生研究院/国立卫生研究院共同资助 生物医学成像和生物工程（NIBIB）。
