The Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Wake Forest University School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences (SBES) and the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) are undertaking a collaborative ten week NIBIB-NSF Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institutes (BBSI) Program entitled, "BBSI Summer Institute for Quantitative and Integrative Bioengineering (SIQIB) to be held at Virginia Tech. This Institute will support a total of 53 undergraduate and graduate students over the four year award period. The intellecutal focus of the program--integrated and quantitative bioengineering--is a common thread throughout both biomedical engineering and bioinformatics, therefore, this Institute will emphasize three major thrusts: computation systems biology, computational bio-imaging, and computational physiology.The objectives of SIQIB are to: 1) provide targeted students, particularly from underrepresented groups, with quantitative and integrated bioengineering/bioinformatics related educational and research experiences to complement the students existing single discipline programs, and 2) motivate and enable these students to pursue graduate degrees and careers in biomedical engineering and bioinformatics related fields.SIQIB students will be provided with a ten week, two year multifaceted educational experience that will include in the first year a didactic course in quantitative and integrative analysis; interdisciplinary team projects with faculty mentors from SBES and VBI; workshops on interdisciplinary teams, cyberinfrastructure, professional development, and state-of-the-art computation issues; and a student seminar series and final presentation. Second year activities will focus on a specific thrust area, with advanced course work and workshops, and leadership roles on research projects and seminars.This project is being co-funded by the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR)/Division of Graduate Education (DGE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB).

弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学，维克森林大学生物医学工程与科学学院（SBES）和弗吉尼亚生物信息学研究所（VBI）正在进行为期十周的合作NIBIB-NSF生物工程和生物信息学暑期研究所（BBSI）计划，题为“BBSI定量和综合生物工程暑期研究所（SIQIB）将在弗吉尼亚理工大学举行。 该研究所将在四年的奖励期内支持总共53名本科生和研究生。 该计划的重点-集成和定量生物工程-是贯穿生物医学工程和生物信息学的共同主线，因此，该研究所将强调三个主要方向：计算系统生物学，计算生物成像和计算生理学。SIQIB的目标是：1）提供有针对性的学生，特别是来自代表性不足的群体的学生，与定量和综合生物工程/生物信息学相关的教育和研究经验，以补充学生现有的单一学科课程，以及2）激励和使这些学生能够追求生物医学工程和生物信息学相关领域的研究生学位和职业生涯。SIQIB学生将提供为期十周，为期两年的多方面教育经验，其中包括第一年的定量和综合分析教学课程;与SBES和VBI教师导师的跨学科团队项目;关于跨学科团队，网络基础设施，专业发展和最先进的计算问题的研讨会;以及学生研讨会系列和最终演示。 第二年的活动将集中在一个特定的重点领域，与先进的课程工作和研讨会，并在研究项目和研讨会的领导作用。这个项目是由教育和人力资源局（EHR）/研究生教育司（DGE）和国立卫生研究院（NIH）/国立生物医学成像和生物工程研究所（NIBIB）共同资助。
