BBSI: Summer Institute in Bioengineering and Health Informatics

奥克兰大学将在Fatma Mili博士的指导下举办为期十周的NIBIB-NSF生物工程和生物信息学暑期研究所（BBSI）生物工程和健康信息学课程。 该研究所将支持总共60名本科生和研究生，每年15名，总共四年。 该研究所的主要目标是促进生物工程和生物信息学的研究生学习和职业生涯，以追求计算机，自然，健康科学和其他相关专业学位的聪明和有才华的学生，重点是提高非洲裔美国人和其他少数民族学生在生物工程和健康信息学领域的就业机会。 学生将沉浸在一个全面的学习和研究环境中，并将接受为期两周的重点培训课程，然后进行为期八周的全职研究。 研究将在一个多学科团队中进行，包括从定义研究问题，探索多种解决方案，与同行和更广泛的受众讨论进展，以及制定调查结果和得出结论的整个生命周期。 该项目由数学和物理科学理事会（MPS）/数学科学部（DMS），MPS/多学科活动办公室（OMA），计算机和信息科学与工程理事会（CISE）/信息和智能系统部（IIS）以及美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）/国家生物医学成像和生物工程研究所（NIBIB）共同资助。

Oakland University will host a ten week NIBIB-NSF Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institutes (BBSI) Program in Bioengineering and Health Informatics under the direction of Dr. Fatma Mili. This Institute will support a total of 60 undergraduate and graduate students, 15 per year for a total of four years. The primary object of this Institute is to promote graduate studies and careers in bioengineering and bioinformatics to bright and talent students pursuing degrees in Computer, Natural, Health Sciences, and other related majors with a focus on enhancing career opportunities for African American and other minority students in the fields of bioengineering and health informatics. The students will be immersed in a comprehensive learning and research environment and will receive a two-week focused training session followed by eight weeks of full time research. Research will be conducted within a multidisciplinary team and encompasses the full life-cycle from defining the research problem, exploring multiple solutions, discussing progress with peers and wider audiences, and formulating findings and making conclusions. This project is being co-funded by the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS)/Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS), the MPS/Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA), the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)/Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (IIS), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB).
