This award will enable up to 12 students from educational institutions in the US to attend the 12th Annual Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bio-medicine (BIBM 2018). The conference is one of the premier research conferences in bioinformatics and bio-medicine. The BIBM community strives to build an international platform to foster experience sharing of multi-disciplinary research, education, and outreach activities through scientific presentations, keynote speeches, and workshop and panel discussions. Cutting-edge research shared at the conference will impact the science and technology of many fields, from agricultural and environmental to pharmaceutical and medical sciences. Due to the high cost of international travel, which often precludes student authors from participation due to insufficient support from their mentors and institutions, the travel grants will greatly encourage students, especially under-represented and disabled participants, from US institutions to attend the meeting. The student awardees will have the opportunity to present their research, listen to talks, both keynotes and regular paper presenters, from the scientific program, which will highlight the following seven themes: 1. Bioinformatics and Computational Biology of Molecular Structure, Function and Evolution, 2. Computational Systems Biology, 3. Next Generation Sequencing and High-throughput Methods, 4. Cheminformatics and pharmacogenomics, 5. Cross-Cutting Computational Methods and Bioinformatics Infrastructure, 6. Medical Informatics and Bioinformatics of Disease, and 7. Healthcare Informatics. These themes are designed to provide breadth, depth and synergy for research collaboration. In addition, to foster open discussions about research, education, and outreach opportunities and barriers, the students will join special panels in topics related to Big Data, Actionable AI, and Consumerable Discoveries. The panels will cover opportunities for young investigators and provide tips to early career researchers and encourage the sharing of informatics tools dissemination.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.

该奖项将使来自美国教育机构的12名学生能够参加第12届电气和电子工程师学会（IEEE）生物信息学和生物医学国际会议（BIBM 2018）。该会议是生物信息学和生物医学领域最重要的研究会议之一。BIBM社区致力于建立一个国际平台，通过科学报告、主题演讲、研讨会和小组讨论来促进多学科研究、教育和推广活动的经验分享。会议上分享的前沿研究将影响许多领域的科学和技术，从农业和环境到制药和医学科学。由于高昂的国际旅行费用，往往使学生作者无法参加，因为他们的导师和机构的支持不足，旅行补助金将极大地鼓励来自美国机构的学生，特别是代表性不足和残疾的参与者参加会议。学生获奖者将有机会展示他们的研究成果，听取来自科学项目的演讲，包括主题演讲和常规论文演讲，该项目将突出以下七个主题：1。生物信息学与计算生物学：分子结构、功能与进化，2。计算系统生物学，3。3 .新一代测序与高通量方法；化学信息学与药物基因组学，5。跨领域计算方法与生物信息学基础设施，6。医学信息学和疾病生物信息学；医疗保健信息。这些主题旨在为研究合作提供广度、深度和协同作用。此外，为了促进关于研究、教育、拓展机会和障碍的公开讨论，学生们将参加与大数据、可操作人工智能和可消费发现相关主题的特别小组。小组讨论将为年轻研究人员提供机会，为早期职业研究人员提供建议，并鼓励分享信息学工具的传播。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。
