The 10th Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and Health Informatics (ACMBCB2019), the flagship conference of the ACM SIGBio (Special Interest Group in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics), will be held in Niagara Falls, NY, on September 7-10, 2019. It is the premier dissemination forum for interdisciplinary research linking computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, biomedical informatics, and health informatics. Its mission is to support advanced research, training, and outreach. It brings together superb researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world to promote novel scientific findings in bioscience and to deliver new knowledge for societal impact. The past few decades have seen tremendous growth in the scale and complexity of biological and medical data including recent mainstream recognition of big data challenges. However, the development of synergy in bioinformatics, computational biology, and health informatics research has been difficult. Thus, it is important to train new researchers to achieve this synergy. This award will support up to 15 early-career professionals (students and recently graduated post-doctoral fellows) to share their travel costs to the conference. Senior researchers will serve as mentors to these early-career professionals to improve bioinformatics, computational biology, and health informatics community building. This award aims to increase the participation of students and recently graduated post-docs; train the next generation of researchers and educators in computer science, biological science, biomedical science and other related areas; and broaden diversity in bioinformatics and computational biology.The ACMBCB2019 conference will showcase leading-edge research on new technologies and techniques around gathering, processing, analyzing, and modeling of data and information for a variety of scientific, clinical, and healthcare applications from bench to bedside. It will provide activities such as workshops, tutorials, oral sessions, and poster sessions for researchers from different disciplines to interact, to discuss, and to collaborate. To be selected for participation, early-career professionals will need to submit a short research proposal containing Intellectual Merit, Broader Impact, and supporting information such as a resume and a letter of support from their advisors. A committee consisting of experienced researchers will review the research proposals and select the awardees with the support from the conference organizers. In addition, this award will enable ACMBCB2019 to expand "Women in Bioinformatics" to strongly encourage participation from more underrepresented groups by inviting senior researchers to share their experience and wisdom in career development, and to serve as mentors to facilitate early-career professional groups with the goal to continually build the community throughout the year.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.

第10届计算机协会（ACM）生物信息学、计算生物学和健康信息学国际会议（ACMBCB2019）是ACM SIGBio（生物信息学、计算生物学和健康信息学特别兴趣小组）的旗舰会议，将于2019年9月7日至10日在纽约州尼亚加拉瀑布举行。它是计算机科学、数学、统计学、生物学、生物信息学、生物医学信息学和健康信息学等跨学科研究的首要传播论坛。它的使命是支持先进的研究、培训和推广。它汇集了来自世界各地的优秀研究人员、从业者和学生，以促进生物科学领域的新科学发现，并为社会影响提供新知识。在过去的几十年里，生物和医疗数据的规模和复杂性都有了巨大的增长，包括最近主流对大数据挑战的认识。然而，生物信息学、计算生物学和健康信息学研究的协同发展一直是困难的。因此，培养新的研究人员来实现这种协同作用是很重要的。该奖项将支持最多15名早期职业专业人士（学生和刚毕业的博士后研究员）分担他们参加会议的旅费。资深研究人员将担任这些早期职业专业人员的导师，以改善生物信息学，计算生物学和健康信息学社区建设。该奖项旨在增加学生和刚毕业的博士后的参与；培养下一代计算机科学、生物科学、生物医学和其他相关领域的研究人员和教育工作者；扩大生物信息学和计算生物学的多样性。ACMBCB2019会议将展示围绕从实验室到床边的各种科学、临床和医疗保健应用的数据和信息的收集、处理、分析和建模的新技术和新技术的前沿研究。它将为来自不同学科的研究人员提供研讨会、教程、口头会议和海报会议等活动，以进行互动、讨论和合作。要被选中参与，早期职业的专业人士将需要提交一份简短的研究计划，其中包括智力优点，更广泛的影响，以及支持信息，如简历和顾问的支持信。由经验丰富的研究人员组成的委员会将在会议组织者的支持下审查研究提案并选择获奖者。此外，该奖项将使ACMBCB2019能够扩大“生物信息学中的女性”，通过邀请资深研究人员分享她们在职业发展方面的经验和智慧，强烈鼓励更多代表性不足的群体参与，并作为导师促进早期职业专业团体的发展，目标是全年不断建设社区。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。
