The 11th International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA) 2019 takes place in Cambridge UK July 8th to July 12th and will bring together researchers from electronic design automation (the practice of using computer software to build complex electronics) and synthetic biology (the forward design of novel biological systems using engineering principles). The goal of IWBDA is to make biology more easily, robustly, reliably, and predictably engineered and therefore, tackle challenges in biology and medicine, leading to advances in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. This award provides travel assistance for ten undergraduate and graduate students to attend this workshop to present research, participate in a computer programming competition, and network with a large community of industrial and academic researchers. These participants will go on to form the foundation of the field in the future. Specifically these students will join a wide variety of researchers (120+) from electronic design automation and synthetic biology in a unique context which does not exist elsewhere. They will have access to between twelve and fifteen technical talks, two invited lectures, ten to twenty posters, multiple group discussion sessions, and a featured student programming competition (BDAthlon). This award covers the registration for the workshop as well as partial support for travel and housing.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.

2019年第11届生物设计自动化国际研讨会（IWBDA）将于7月8日至7月12日在英国剑桥举行，将汇集来自电子设计自动化（使用计算机软件构建复杂电子产品的实践）和合成生物学（使用工程原理正向设计新型生物系统）的研究人员。IWBDA的目标是使生物学更容易，更强大，更可靠，更可预测地工程化，从而应对生物学和医学的挑战，从而推动疾病诊断，治疗和预防的进步。该奖项为10名本科生和研究生提供旅行援助，参加研讨会，展示研究成果，参加计算机编程竞赛，并与工业和学术研究人员的大型社区建立联系。这些参与者将继续在未来形成该领域的基础。具体来说，这些学生将加入各种各样的研究人员（120+）从电子设计自动化和合成生物学在一个独特的背景下，这是不存在的其他地方。他们将有机会参加12到15场技术讲座，2场特邀讲座，10到20张海报，多个小组讨论会和一场特色学生编程竞赛（BDathlon）。该奖项涵盖了研讨会的注册以及旅行和住房的部分支持。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。
