This award provides travel support for students to attend and present their work at the IEEE International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics, 2018 (BHI18). BHI18 is the premier flagship conference sponsored by IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) in the area of mHealth and health analytics. BHI18 will be held from March. 4-8, 2018 in Las Vegas and jointly organized with IEEE conference on Body Sensor Networks. The goal of the conference is to provide a unique platform to showcase novel sensors, systems, signal processing, analytics and data management services. BHI18 will offer the latest findings of researchers on efficient and innovative signal acquisition, transmission, processing, monitoring, storage, retrieval, analysis, visualization and interpretation of multi-modal signals including physiological, biomedical, biological, social, behavioral, environmental, and geographical data. It will also provide a forum for bioinformatics and computational biology researchers in especially EMBS and IEEE Signal Processing Society to interact and exchange research ideas among them and others in Biomedical and Health Informatics community and discuss future challenges in cutting edge areas including Precision Medicine. As integrated bioinformatics and medical informatics approaches become one of the focus areas in Precision Medicine, BHI18 is uniquely positioned to spark novel ideas and promote new collaborations between researchers in these communities. An important mission of the Workshop is to promote participation of graduate students, especial woman and minority students, and foster student education on computational biology for precision medicine. This award will be used to provide travel grants to qualified graduate students, whose papers are deemed of high quality, to support their participation in the conference. The Workshop organization includes the student award committee, which will be responsible for evaluation and selection of student awardees. Particularly, 20-30% of the awards are allocated to women and minority students to participate and submit papers to the Workshop.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为学生提供旅行支持，以参加2018年IEEE生物医学和健康信息学国际会议（BHI 18）并展示他们的工作。BHI 18是由IEEE医学和生物学工程学会（EMBS）在移动健康和健康分析领域赞助的首要旗舰会议。BHI 18将于3月举行。4-8，2018在拉斯维加斯，并与IEEE身体传感器网络会议联合举办。会议的目标是提供一个独特的平台来展示新型传感器、系统、信号处理、分析和数据管理服务。BHI 18将提供研究人员在高效和创新的信号采集，传输，处理，监测，存储，检索，分析，可视化和解释多模态信号，包括生理，生物医学，生物，社会，行为，环境和地理数据方面的最新研究成果。它还将为生物信息学和计算生物学研究人员提供一个论坛，特别是EMBS和IEEE信号处理协会，以便他们和生物医学和健康信息学社区的其他人之间进行互动和交流研究思想，并讨论包括精准医学在内的前沿领域的未来挑战。随着集成生物信息学和医学信息学方法成为精准医学的重点领域之一，BHI 18具有独特的优势，可以激发新的想法，促进这些社区研究人员之间的新合作。 讲习班的一项重要使命是促进研究生，特别是妇女和少数民族学生的参与，并促进学生关于精确医学计算生物学的教育。该奖项将用于为合格的研究生提供旅行赠款，其论文被认为是高质量的，以支持他们参加会议。工作坊的组织包括学生奖励委员会，该委员会将负责评估和选择学生获奖者。特别是，20-30%的奖项分配给妇女和少数民族学生参加讲习班并向讲习班提交论文，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
