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. It was started more than 20 years ago to provide a forum for the brain-mapping scientific community to disseminate findings and enable interactions among scientists investigating the functional organization of the brain with emerging imaging methods. Since 1994, the OHBM has sponsored twenty-two 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 2017 Annual Meeting to be held in Vancouver, Canada. Travel awards will be given to 30 students with high-ranking 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.

人类大脑测绘组织（OHBM）是致力于非侵入性神经成像研究和人类大脑功能组织的主要国际组织。OHBM年会被认为是整合创新脑成像方法和认知神经科学的首要场所。它成立于20多年前，旨在为脑成像科学界提供一个论坛，以传播研究结果，并使科学家们能够利用新兴的成像方法研究大脑的功能组织。自1994年以来，OHBM主办了22次非常成功的会议，与会者接触到尖端的神经成像数据采集方法，大规模神经成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。该奖项将为参加在加拿大温哥华举行的2017年年会的优秀学生和学员提供旅行奖励。旅行奖将颁发给30名具有高水平摘要的学生。其中至少15个旅游奖项将颁发给在3个目标群体（女性、少数民族、残疾人）中获得最佳摘要的学生。年会为神经成像专业的学生提供了一个机会，让他们参加教育课程，听取顶尖大脑研究人员的演讲，形成新的合作关系，并展示他们的原创研究。从历史上看，女性在数学和计算科学领域的代表性一直很低。相比之下，在神经科学和心理学中，这一比例相对较高。因此，在统计学、计算机科学、心理学和神经科学的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，提高对人脑组织的理解与神经和精神疾病的治疗直接相关，非侵入性成像方法的使用对临床神经科学的转化研究和培训越来越重要。由于神经成像在广泛的科学学科中得到应用，我们期望从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。
