This project provides travel support for students (graduate, undergraduate, and high school) to attend ACM SIGBio (Associate Computing Machinery Special Interest Group in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics) annual International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACMBCB) in Washington DC during Aug. 29-Sept. 01, 2018 (http://acm-bcb.org/). ACMBCB2018 aims to provide an interactive forum that bridges computer science, mathematics, statistics, with biology and health, and to support advanced research, training, and outreach. It brings together top researchers, educators, practitioners, and students around the world to share innovative biological and medical discoveries, new informatics algorithms, new computational tools that will advance biological and health science, and improve national health. It consists of systematically organized activities such as plenary keynotes, workshops, tutorials, research oral sessions, poster sessions, and panels for researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to interact, to discuss, and to collaborate. It will encourage diverse groups of students, especially the underrepresented minority (women, minority, and disabled) to actively participate in conference activities, to grow ACM SIGBio community, and to advance the fast-growing interdisciplinary education and research. As part of this award activity, ACMBCB2018 will organize a Student Forum and "Women in Bioinformatics" panel with senior academic and industrial experts serving as the mentors. These mentors will provide feedback to attending students' research, and will share their personal experience and wisdom in career development. These students will write a short summary to report their ACMBCB2018 experience. Overall, the project will assist students in gaining knowledge, to improve their visibility and to advance novel advancements in bioinformatics, computational biology, and health informatics.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.

该项目为学生（研究生，本科和高中）提供了旅行支持，参加ACM Sigbio（副计算机机械机械特殊利益小组，生物信息学，计算生物学和健康信息学）年度国际国际生物信息信息，计算生物学和健康信息学和健康信息学（ACMBCB）的国际国际会议。 2018年1月1日（http://acm-bcb.org/）。 ACMBCB2018旨在提供一个互动论坛，该论坛将计算机科学，数学，统计学，生物学和健康融为一体，并支持高级研究，培训和外展。它汇集了世界各地的顶级研究人员，教育者，从业人员和学生，以共享创新的生物学和医学发现，新的信息学算法，新的计算工具，这些工具将推进生物学和健康科学，并改善国家健康。它由系统组织的活动组成，例如全体会议，讲习班，教程，研究口腔会议，海报会议和面板，以及来自不同学科的研究人员和从业人员进行互动，讨论和协作。它将鼓励各种各样的学生，特别是代表性不足的少数群体（妇女，少数民族和残疾人）积极参与会议活动，发展ACM Sigbio社区，并促进快速成长的跨学科教育和研究。作为这项奖项活动的一部分，ACMBCB2018将与高级学术和工业专家一起组织一个学生论坛和“生物信息学女性”小组。这些导师将为参加学生的研究提供反馈，并分享他们在职业发展方面的个人经验和智慧。这些学生将撰写简短的摘要，以报告其ACMBCB2018经验。 总体而言，该项目将帮助学生获得知识，提高其知名度，并提高生物信息学，计算生物学和健康信息学方面的新进步。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来获得支持的。
