The BioInformatics and Bio-Modeling (BIBM) conference focuses on leading edge questions in the field. The conference agenda is a varied program with topic paper areas, tutorial programs, and special interest group meetings that align with recent funding trends within the ABI program. In addition to research findings, the program also incorporates hands-on workshops of the newest informatics tools to be developed. The conference provides an interactive forum in which researchers can share ideas, learn new techniques, and forge professional relationships with other colleagues. A panel on Bioinformatics Training and Education at the conference will help to share resources and lessons learned in bioinformatics training and workforce development. The panel will feature representatives from academics, industry and government to discuss different career paths. The conference program also includes mentoring activities. The organizers will invite 20-30 (20 funded by this award) students and postdoctoral researchers to attend the conference, with a well-articulated diversity recruitment plan that targets gender, minority, and disability participation.

生物信息学和生物建模(BIBM)会议聚焦于该领域的前沿问题。会议议程是一个多样化的计划，有主题论文区域、教程计划和特殊兴趣小组会议，这些会议与ABI计划内最近的资金趋势保持一致。除了研究成果，该计划还包括将开发的最新信息学工具的动手研讨会。会议提供了一个互动论坛，研究人员可以在其中分享想法，学习新技术，并与其他同事建立专业关系。会议上的生物信息学培训和教育小组将有助于分享生物信息学培训和劳动力发展方面的资源和经验教训。小组将由来自学术界、工业界和政府的代表组成，讨论不同的职业道路。会议计划还包括指导活动。组织者将邀请20-30名(由该奖项资助的20名)学生和博士后研究人员参加会议，并制定一项针对性别、少数族裔和残疾参与的明确的多元化招聘计划。
