Student Support RECOMB 2016

RECOMB是一个连接计算、数学和生物科学的国际科学会议。RECOMB会议系列成立于1997年，旨在为计算生物学的理论进展及其在分子生物学和医学中的应用提供一个科学论坛。Recomb 2016将是第20届年会。RECOMB的特色是杰出科学家的主旨演讲，以及计算生物学中被引用的研究论文的演示，特别会议和海报会议。这项提议要求为美国会议参与者提供旅行支持，优先考虑将发表论文或帖子的研究生。这项提议的更广泛的影响目标是通过为学生提供旅行资金来增加学生参与RECOMB会议的人数。将给予妇女、少数群体和残疾人最高优先的旅费资助，以增加他们参加科学会议的机会，并扩大他们对RECOMB的参与。所有提交海报或论文的个人都将收到电子邮件，让他们意识到学生支持的可能性。RECOMB是顶级计算生物学会议之一。RECOMB的众多活动为学生提供了一个接触新的令人兴奋的研究领域和学习尖端技术的绝佳途径。此外，学生的参与对该领域的发展和延续至关重要。

RECOMB is an international scientific conference bridging the computational, mathematical, and biological sciences. The RECOMB conference series was founded in 1997 to provide a scientific forum for theoretical advances in computational biology and their applications in molecular biology and medicine. Recomb 2016 will be the 20th Annual Meeting. RECOMB features keynote talks by preeminent scientists, together with presentations of refereed research papers in computational biology, special sessions and poster sessions. This proposal requests travel support for US conference participants, with priority going to graduate students who will be presenting paper or posters.The broader impact goal of this proposal is to increase the participation of students at the RECOMB conference by giving travel funding to students. Women, minorities and persons with disabilities will be given the highest priority for travel funding, in order to increase their access to scientific meetings and to broaden participation at RECOMB. All individuals presenting posters or papers will be sent email making them aware of the student support possibilities. RECOMB is one of the top computational biology conferences. The many events at RECOMB provide an excellent way for students to be exposed to new and exciting research areas, and learn of cutting-edge advances. Further, student participation is vital for the growth and continuation of the field.
