Student Investigator Travel Awards for OHBM 2016

人脑图谱组织 (OHBM) 是致力于非侵入性神经影像研究和人脑功能组织的主要国际组织。 OHBM 年会被认为是创新脑成像方法和认知神经科学相结合的首要场所，其成立是为了满足脑图谱科学界对论坛的需求，以传播研究结果并促进利用新兴的基于成像的方法研究大脑功能组织的科学家之间的互动。自 1994 年以来，OHBM 已赞助了 21 场非常成功的会议，与会者可以接触到最先进的神经影像数据采集方法、大规模神经影像数据分析的新兴方法、结果可视化及其在健康和疾病中的应用。该奖项将为有资格参加在瑞士日内瓦举行的 2016 年年会的学生和学员提供旅费。旅行奖将颁发给摘要排名最高的 25 名学生。其中至少 15 个旅行奖将颁发给在 3 个目标群体（女性、少数民族、残疾人）中摘要排名靠前的学生。年会为神经影像学专业的学生提供了一种参加教育课程、聆听顶尖大脑研究人员的讲座、形成新的合作以及展示他们的原创研究的途径。从历史上看，数学和计算科学领域的女性代表性一直很低。 相比之下，在神经科学和心理学领域，这一比例相对较高。 因此，在统计学、计算机科学、心理学和神经科学等交叉领域工作的能力有望为不同的受众提供计算培训，并有助于弥合 STEM 领域的性别差距。此外，提高对人脑组织的了解与治疗神经和精神疾病直接相关，并且非侵入性成像方法的使用对于临床神经科学的转化研究和培训越来越重要。由于神经影像学应用于广泛的科学学科，我们期望在经济和社会政策到医疗、教育和心理干预等领域为社会带来好处。

The Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) is the primary international organization dedicated to non-invasive neuroimaging research and the functional organization of the human brain. The Annual Meeting of OHBM is regarded as the premier venue for the integration of innovative brain imaging methods and cognitive neuroscience, and has emerged to address the need of the brain-mapping scientific community for a forum to disseminate findings and enable interactions among scientists investigating the functional organization of the brain with emerging imaging-based methods. Since 1994, the OHBM has sponsored twenty-one highly successful meetings, where attendees are exposed to cutting-edge neuroimaging data acquisition methods, emerging approaches to large-scale neuroimaging data analysis, the visualization of results, and their applications in health and disease. This award will fund travel awards for deserving students and trainees to attend the 2016 Annual Meeting to be held in Geneva, Switzerland. Travel awards will be given to the 25 students with the highest-ranked abstracts. Of these at least 15 travel awards will be awarded to the students with the top-ranked abstracts among 3 targeted groups (women, minorities, disabled). The Annual Meeting provides a means for students of neuroimaging to attend educational courses, hear lectures from leading brain researchers, form new collaborations, and to present their original research. Historically, female representation in the mathematical and computational sciences has been low. In contrast, in both neuroscience and psychology it has been relatively very high. Hence, the ability to work in the cross-section of statistics, computer-science, psychology, and neuroscience promises to provide computational training to a diverse audience and help bridge the gender gaps in the STEM fields. In addition, improved understanding of the organization of the human brain is directly relevant to treating neurological and psychiatric disease, and the use of non-invasive imaging methods is increasingly important to translational investigation and training in clinical neuroscience. As neuroimaging is used in a wide-range of scientific disciplines, we would expect benefits for society in areas ranging from economic and social policies to medical, educational and psychological interventions.
