Conference: Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics 2022

作为ACM SIGBio（生物信息学、计算生物学和健康信息学特别兴趣小组）的年度旗舰会议，ACM国际生物信息学、计算生物学和健康信息学会议（ACMBCB）旨在提供一个连接计算机科学、数学、统计学与生物学和健康的互动论坛。其使命是支持高级研究、培训和推广。它汇集了世界各地的顶尖研究人员、从业者和学生，分享信息学解决方案的创新发现、先进开发和交付，以促进计算科学、国家健康工程和社会影响的生物进步。 ACMBCB2022 将于 8 月 7 日至 9 月在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。 2023 年 1 月 1 日。这笔 NSF 拨款将为最多 10 名学生（研究生、本科生和高中）参加会议提供旅行和注册支持。学生需要提交一份关于他们正在进行的学术研究和参加 ACMBCB2022 的动机的简短描述（建议遵循 NSF 智力优点、广泛影响摘要），以及支持信息，例如生物草图、照片和来自顾问/导师的支持信以供选择。此外，国家科学基金会的这笔赠款将扩大代表性不足的群体（妇女、少数族裔和残疾人）参与的多样性，以加强会议之外的社区建设。21 世纪正在见证分子生物学、医学、健康、统计学、计算机科学、数据科学、信息学、云计算和人工智能等领域的创新所带来的许多变革。因此，培养年轻一代时培育新文化至关重要。 ACMBCB2022将为来自不同学科的研究人员和实践者提供系统组织的活动，如研讨会、教程、口头会议和海报会议等，以供互动、讨论和合作。 NSF 的支持将最大限度地提高学生的学习和研究成果。他们不仅将从会议中学习生物信息学、计算生物学和健康信息学方面的新进展并提高知识，而且还将在学生论坛上分享自己的研究想法，以获得知名度和反馈。此外，由于代表性不足的少数群体（女性、少数民族和残疾学生）的参与度相对较低，ACMBCB2022将通过学生论坛和“生物信息学中的女性”组织不断促进参与的多样性。将邀请高级研究人员提供反馈，并分享职业发展方面的经验和智慧，以在全年不断建设社区。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。

As the annual flagship conference of ACM SIGBio (Special Interest Group in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics), the ACM International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACMBCB) is aimed to provide an interactive forum that bridges computer science, mathematics, statistics, with biology and health. Its mission is to supportadvanced research, training, and outreach. It brings together top researchers, practitioners, and students around the world to share innovative discovery, advanced development and delivery of informatics solutions to promote computational science, engineering for national health and biological advancement for societal impact. The ACMBCB2022 will be in Chicago IL during Aug. 7th-Sept. 01, 2023. This NSF grant will provide travel and registration support for up to 10 students (graduate, undergraduate, and high school) to attend the conference. The students will need to submit a short description about their on-going academic study and motivation for attending ACMBCB2022 (suggested to follow NSF Intellectual Merit, Broad Impact summary), plus supporting information such as a biosketch, a photo, and a letter of support from their advisor/mentor for selection. In addition, this NSF grant will broaden the diversity of participation from underrepresented groups (women, minority, and disabled) to enhance the community-building beyond the conference.The 21st century is witnessing many transformations enabled by innovations happening at the interface of molecular biology, medicine, health, with statistics, computer science, data science, informatics, cloud computing, and AI. Thus, it is critical to cultivate the new culture when training younger generations. ACMBCB2022 will provide systematically organized activities such as workshops, tutorials, oral sessions, and poster sessions for researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to interact, to discuss, and to collaborate. NSF support will maximize both learning and research outcomes of students. Not only they will learn novel advancements in bioinformatics, computational biology, and health informatics from the conference and improve their knowledge, but also they will share their own research ideas in Student Forum to gain visibility and feedback. In addition, because underrepresented minority groups (women, minority, and students with disabilities) have relatively low participation, ACMBCB2022 will continually promote diversity in participation through both Student Forum and “Women in Bioinformatics” organization. Senior researchers will be invited to provide feedback , and to share experience and wisdom in career development 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.
