Eighth International IEEE Conference on Computational Advances in Bio and Medical Sciences (ICCABS) - Travel Awards

国际生物和医学科学计算进展会议（ICCABS）将提供资金支付学生和博士后研究员的旅费。这些学生和研究员将有机会与资深研究人员和行业专家会面并了解研究成果。他们也将有机会展示自己的作品。会议记录将用于支持课程作业，选定的论文将用于开发BMC生物信息学和BMC基因组学期刊的两个特刊。ICCABS的目标是将这三个领域的科学家聚集在一起，从而作为一个合作平台。这次会议的优势在于它能够将生物和医学科学各个领域的科学家聚集在一起，并促进他们之间的合作。跨越这些领域的合作有一个记录，导致在计算和生物医学科学的界面上发现解决具有挑战性问题的新技术。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。

The International Conference on Computational Advances in Bio and medical Sciences (ICCABS will provide funds to cover the travel expenses of students and post-doctoral fellows. These students and fellows will have an opportunity meet senior researchers and industry experts and research results. They will also have an opportunity to present their own work. The conference proceedings are used to support course work and selected papers will be used to develop two special issues of BMC Bioinformatics and BMC Genomics journals.ICCABS has the goal of bringing together scientists in all the three areas and hence serving as a collaboration platform. The strength of this conference lies in its ability to bring together scientists in various areas of bio and medical sciences and fostering collaborations among them. Collaborations across these domains have a record of leading to the discovery of novel techniques for solving challenging problems at the interface of computing and the biomedical sciences.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.
