This award provides support for a three year renewal of the BBSI: Southern California Bioinformatics Summer Institute (SoCalBSI), at California State University at Los Angeles (CSULA), under the direction of Dr. Jamil A. Momand. The Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Biological Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering at CSULA, and the Los Angeles/Orange County Biotechnology Center at Pasadena City College will host a ten week summer program for a total of 45 undergraduate and graduate students, 15 per year, for a total of three years. The students will have backgrounds in molecular life science and computer programming.The objective of the SoCalBSI is to identify and prepare college students for a successful career in the bioinformatics field. The intellectual focus of the institute is on sequence comparison, microarrays analysis and research. The SoCalBSI will consist of three phases presented to students during the summer program: a didactic phase, a professional development phase, and a research phase. The broader impact of the SoCalBSI on the students is to provide the necessary background that will encourage students to become bioinformaticians or to use bioinformatics in their carreers. The SoCalBSI is unique in that it provides valuable connections between students and researchers at the forefront of the bioinformatics field since it offers a variety of internships from seven different institutions. This project is being co-funded by 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BBSI的三年更新提供了支持：南加州生物信息学暑期研究所（SoCalBSI），位于洛杉矶的加州州立大学（CSULA），在Jamil A博士的指导下。妈妈 CSULA的化学和生物化学、生物科学、电气和计算机工程系以及帕萨迪纳城市学院的洛杉矶/橙子县生物技术中心将为总共45名本科生和研究生举办为期10周的暑期课程，每年15名，为期三年。 学生将有分子生命科学和计算机编程的背景。SoCalBSI的目标是确定和准备大学生在生物信息学领域的成功职业生涯。 该研究所的智力重点是序列比较，微阵列分析和研究。 该SoCalBSI将包括三个阶段呈现给学生在暑期课程：教学阶段，专业发展阶段，和研究阶段。 SoCalBSI对学生的更广泛的影响是提供必要的背景，鼓励学生成为生物信息学家或在他们的职业生涯中使用生物信息学。 SoCalBSI的独特之处在于，它为生物信息学领域前沿的学生和研究人员提供了宝贵的联系，因为它提供了来自七个不同机构的各种实习机会。 该项目由工程局（ENG）/工程教育和中心司（EEC）和国立卫生研究院/国立生物医学成像和生物工程研究所（NIBIB）共同资助。
