Bioinformatics and Biomedicine research requires close collaboration among multi-disciplinary researchers from quantitative sciences, life sciences, and their interfaces. The research is essential to the understanding of complex biological systems, which impacts the science and technology of fields ranging from agricultural and environmental sciences to pharmaceutical and medical sciences. The IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine 2021(BIBM-2021) will provide an open and interactive forum to promote multidisciplinary research and education in Bioinformatics and Biomedicine, facilitate cross-fertilization of ideas, and bridge knowledge gaps. The scientific program will cover six synergistic themes on i) Bioinformatics and Computational Biology of Molecular Structure, Function, and Evolution; ii) Computational Systems Biology; and iii) Next-Generation Sequencing and High-throughput Methods, which are all relevant to NSF research areas. A special panel, the Bioinformatics Educational Workshop, will foster discussion on education opportunities and barriers. As an effort to engage young researchers, especially students from underrepresented groups, BIBM-2021 plans to involve them in the meeting organization and will include mentoring activities in the conference program. The conference travel grant aims to provide the crucial funding needed to support the participation of early-career researchers and graduate students, especially those from underrepresented groups, as a training opportunity for the next generation of scientists, thereby, broadening the scientific impact of this international conference.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.

生物信息学和生物医学研究需要来自定量科学，生命科学及其接口的多学科研究人员之间的密切合作。该研究对于理解复杂的生物系统至关重要，这影响了从农业和环境科学到制药和医学科学等领域的科学和技术。IEEE 2021年生物信息学和生物医学国际会议（BIBM-2021）将提供一个开放和互动的论坛，以促进生物信息学和生物医学的多学科研究和教育，促进思想的交流，弥合知识差距。科学计划将涵盖六个协同主题：i）分子结构，功能和进化的生物信息学和计算生物学; ii）计算系统生物学; iii）下一代测序和高通量方法，这些都与NSF研究领域相关。一个特别小组，生物信息学教育研讨会，将促进对教育机会和障碍的讨论。 为了吸引年轻研究人员，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生，BIBM-2021计划让他们参与会议组织，并将在会议计划中包括指导活动。会议旅费补助金旨在提供支持早期职业研究人员和研究生，特别是来自代表性不足群体的研究生参与所需的关键资金，作为下一代科学家的培训机会，从而，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。
