The Annual ACM International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ACM BCB) is the premier conference in the areas of bioinformatics, computational biology, and biomedical informatics. The 7th ACM BCB 2016 will be held in Seattle WA, Oct.2-5, 2016, (http://acm-bcb.org/). The award will provide support for female keynote speaker and 25 selected students with high priority given to female and minority students and young professionals to participate in the conference. ACM-BCB conference provides a common platform to bridge important interdisciplinary research areas in computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, and biomedicine and an interactive forum which brings together experienced researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world to promote scientific understanding and findings in bioscience. Students will learn about advanced knowledge in bioinformatics and computational biology, enhance their knowledge in the cutting edge inter/multidisciplinary fields, and participate in special student activities aimed. To promote broad participation in this event, ACM BCB includes the "women in bioinformatics" initiative that aims to recruit and engage young female students and researchers in this interdisciplinary area. ACM BCB 2016 is inviting a distinguished female keynote speaker whose experience and success may inspire many students, especially underrepresented minorities and women, to enter this exciting field.The ACM-BCB conference is a leading venue for presenting results and building a bioinformatics and computational biology community. The presented papers will appear will be included in the ACM BCB 2016 proceedings published by ACM Digital Library. To enhance the results dissemination, the authors of selected papers will be invited to adapt their papers for publication in a special issue of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (TCBB), or a special issue of IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (J-BHI).

ACM生物信息学和计算生物学国际年会（ACM BCB）是生物信息学，计算生物学和生物医学信息学领域的首要会议。第七届ACM BCB 2016将于2016年10月2 -5日在华盛顿州西雅图举行（http：//acm-bcb.org/）。该奖项将为女性主旨发言人和25名选定的学生提供支持，并优先考虑女性和少数民族学生以及年轻专业人员参加会议。ACM-BCB会议提供了一个共同的平台，连接计算机科学，数学，统计学，生物学，生物信息学和生物医学的重要跨学科研究领域，以及一个互动论坛，汇集了来自世界各地的经验丰富的研究人员，从业人员和学生，以促进生物科学的科学理解和发现。学生将学习生物信息学和计算生物学的先进知识，提高他们在前沿跨/多学科领域的知识，并参加旨在特别学生活动。为了促进对这一活动的广泛参与，ACM生物信息学委员会包括“生物信息学中的妇女”倡议，旨在招募和吸引这一跨学科领域的年轻女学生和研究人员。ACM BCB 2016邀请了一位杰出的女性主讲人，她的经验和成功可能会激励许多学生，特别是代表性不足的少数民族和女性，进入这个令人兴奋的领域。ACM-BCB会议是展示成果和建立生物信息学和计算生物学社区的领先场所。提交的论文将被收录在ACM数字图书馆出版的ACM BCB 2016会议录中。为了加强结果的传播，选定论文的作者将被邀请调整他们的论文发表在IEEE/ACM计算生物学和生物信息学（TCBB）的特刊，或生物医学和健康信息学（J-BHI）的IEEE杂志的特刊。
