The Wireless Health Conference Series is now in its fifth year and provides the highest profile academic and industrial research forum for the Wireless, Mobile and Connected Health fields. This year, the conference will be held October 29-31, 2014 at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Washington, DC. Wireless and mobile health involves a broad ecosystem of researchers whose expertise spans health and health care, engineering, computer science, behavioral and social sciences, as well as businesses partners. The Wireless Health conference series is currently the only dedicated academic/research conference that brings together leaders in the field across the entirety of the interdisciplinary wireless and mobile health community. This mentoring and travel grant will support travel and lodging for 15 doctoral students to attend the Wireless Health 2014 conference. Students will attend the full Wireless Health conference, present their projects and receive feedback and individual mentoring sessions from conference attendees who are leaders in the field. The fifteen students who will be supported on this grant to attend Wireless Health 2014 will benefit from: (1) unique international experience where they associate with scientists from different countries while visiting NIH; (2) exposure to new application areas of computer science and engineering where their skills are particularly needed, for students in medicine and other areas of public health, exchanging ideas with engineers; (3) learning about new types of computational thinking when applying technologies to wireless health applications; (4) exposure to some of the latest types of devices, robots, sensors or networks, and new mobile technologies; (5) experience in giving presentations, explaining their work, and discussing with persons in other disciplines; and (7) the opportunity to discuss how to succeed in an interdisciplinary field. This award will facilitate the establishment of research and education collaborations with students and/or faculty who are members of underrepresented groups. Another main aim of this award will be mentoring a diverse group of early-career health scientists and engineers in research proposal preparation. Finally, this award will facilitate the establishment of collaborations between disciplines and institutions, among the U.S. academic institutions, industry and government and with international partners.The 5th Wireless Health Conference Series will be hosted by the Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance (WLSA), in conjunction with a Steering Committee comprised of leaders from the global academic and industrial research communities. More information on the conference, conference leadership, and the conference program can be found at the conference website (http://www.wirelesshealth2014.org). Foundational to the conference is the understanding that facilitating interdisciplinary communication, collaboration and cooperation among participants from academia, public health, clinical practice, government and industry is crucial to address real-world issues of the healthcare industry. Wireless Health 2014 will offer an outstanding set of peer-reviewed papers and abstracts, interactive workshops, demonstrations, and world-renowned invited speakers and facilitate formulation of future research directions and collaborative efforts in wireless health.

无线健康会议系列现已进入第五个年头，为无线、移动的和互联健康领域提供了最高规格的学术和工业研究论坛。今年，会议将于2014年10月29日至31日在华盛顿的美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）举行。无线和移动的健康涉及广泛的研究人员生态系统，他们的专业知识涵盖健康和医疗保健、工程、计算机科学、行为和社会科学以及商业合作伙伴。无线健康会议系列是目前唯一一个专门的学术/研究会议，汇集了整个跨学科无线和移动的健康社区的领导者。这个指导和旅行补助金将支持旅行和住宿的15名博士生参加无线健康2014年会议。学生将参加完整的无线健康会议，介绍他们的项目，并从会议与会者谁是在该领域的领导者收到反馈和个人辅导会议。谁将在此资助参加无线健康2014年的15名学生将受益于：（1）独特的国际经验，他们与来自不同国家的科学家，同时访问美国国立卫生研究院;（2）接触到计算机科学和工程的新应用领域，他们的技能是特别需要的，为医学和公共卫生的其他领域的学生，与工程师交换意见;（3）在将技术应用于无线健康应用时学习新型计算思维;（4）接触一些最新类型的设备、机器人、传感器或网络以及新的移动的技术;（5）有演讲、解释其工作以及与其他学科人员讨论的经验;以及（7）有机会讨论如何在跨学科领域取得成功。该奖项将促进与学生和/或教师谁是代表性不足的群体成员的研究和教育合作的建立。该奖项的另一个主要目的是指导一组不同的早期职业健康科学家和工程师准备研究提案。第五届无线健康大会系列将由无线生命科学联盟（WLSA）主办，由全球学术界和工业界研究界的领导者组成的指导委员会协办。有关会议、会议领导和会议计划的更多信息，请访问会议网站（http：www.wirelesshealth2014.org）。会议的基础是理解促进学术界，公共卫生，临床实践，政府和行业参与者之间的跨学科沟通，协作与合作对于解决医疗保健行业的现实问题至关重要。无线健康2014将提供一套优秀的同行评审论文和摘要，互动研讨会，演示和世界知名的特邀演讲者，并促进制定未来的研究方向和无线健康的合作努力。
