The ACM Special Interest Group on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Biomedical Informatics (SIGBioinformatics; http://www.sigbioinformatics.org/) has been instituted in 2010 with the aim of focusing on theory and practice of processing, storing, analyzing, mining and knowledge management of biological and biomedical data. The mission of ACM SIGBioinformatics is to support advanced research, training, and outreach in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Biomedical Informatics by stimulating interactions among researchers, educators and practitioners from related multi-disciplinary fields. The third ACM Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology will be held in Orlando, Florida in October 2012. As a flagship conference of ACM SIG Bioinformatics, it provides a premier forum for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research encompassing disciplines of computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, and biomedicine. This award provides travel support for 20 graduate students to attend the conference. This will allow the students to participate in the conference, workshop and tutorials. Additionally special activities such as a doctoral consortium and student poster session will be specifically targeted for them. Participation in premier research conferences in bioinformatics and computational biology is an integral component of doctoral research-based training. It will allow them to interact and network with and potentially collaborate with leading researchers in the discipline. In addition, it will provide them access to potential career opportunities for full time employment after graduation in industry, academia and government.

生物信息学、计算生物学和生物医学信息学特别兴趣小组(SIG；http://www.sigbioinformatics.org/))成立于2010年，旨在关注生物和生物医学数据的处理、存储、分析、挖掘和知识管理的理论和实践。ACM SIGBioInformation的使命是通过促进相关多学科领域的研究人员、教育工作者和从业人员之间的互动，支持生物信息学、计算生物学和生物医学信息学的高级研究、培训和推广。第三届ACM生物信息学和计算生物学会议将于2012年10月在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行。作为ACM SIG生物信息学的旗舰会议，它为跨学科和多学科研究提供了一个主要论坛，涵盖了计算机科学、数学、统计学、生物学、生物信息学和生物医学等学科。该奖项为参加大会的20名研究生提供差旅支持。这将允许学生参加会议、研讨会和教程。此外，还将专门为他们举办博士联盟和学生海报会议等特别活动。参加生物信息学和计算生物学的主要研究会议是以博士研究为基础的培训的组成部分。它将允许他们与该学科的领先研究人员互动和建立网络，并可能与之合作。此外，它还将为他们提供在工业界、学术界和政府毕业后获得全职工作的潜在职业机会。
