Conference on Biology and Medicine through Mathematics 2022

该奖项支持参加 2022 年通过数学进行生物学和医学 (BAMM) 会议，该会议于 2022 年 5 月 18 日至 20 日在弗吉尼亚州里士满的弗吉尼亚联邦大学举行。会议的目的是强调数学生物学和医学领域的最新发展。该会议将： i) 举办一次区域生物数学会议，以促进初级研究人员（研究生、博士后研究员和初级教师）； ii) 使人们了解数学生物学中的一系列应用和方法； iii) 为初级和高级研究人员之间的交流提供良好的环境。 会议将接待大约 100 名与会者。会议将包括全体会议、分组会议和海报会议。 差旅支持将增加初级研究人员参加会议的机会。初级研究人员（本科生和研究生、博士后学者和早期职业教师）将从参加本次会议中受益。 BAMM 将提供一个私密的会议环境，为各级研究人员提供展示海报或演讲的机会。新进入该领域的学生研究人员将有绝佳的机会参加许多子领域的讲座。将鼓励和支持妇女和少数族裔成员参与数学和科学领域。 2019 年会议的参与者人口统计数据表明，旅行奖励对参与者的多样性做出了积极贡献。组织者预计今年的活动将产生类似的积极影响。会议网站：https://siam.vcu.edu/bamm/该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports participation in the 2022 Biology and Medicine through Mathematics (BAMM) conference, held May 18-20, 2022, at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. The aim of the conference is to highlight recent developments in the fields of mathematical biology and medicine. The meeting will: i) provide a regional biomathematics conference that promotes junior investigators (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty); ii) give visibility to a range of applications and methods in mathematical biology; and iii) provide a good environment for networking between junior and senior researchers. The conference will host approximately 100 attendees. The conference will be a mix of plenary talks, break-out sessions, and a poster session. Travel support will increase the accessibility of the conference by junior researchers.Junior researchers (undergraduates and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and early career faculty) will benefit from participating in this meeting. BAMM will provide an intimate conference environment with opportunities to present a poster or give a talk for researchers at all levels. Student researchers new to the field will have excellent opportunities to attend talks from many sub-fields. Participation of women and members of minorities underrepresented in mathematics and science will be encouraged and supported. The participant demographics from the 2019 conference indicate that travel awards have a positive contribution to the diversity of the participants. The organizers anticipate a similar, positive impact on this year's event.Conference web site: https://siam.vcu.edu/bamm/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.
