Conference: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2023 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM 2023)

计算生物学和生物信息学提供了工具和方法，加速了所有生物尺度的生物学研究。2023年IEEE国际生物信息学和生物医学会议(BIBM2023)将为定量科学、生命科学及其接口领域的多学科和跨学科研究人员提供一个独特的机会，以互动的方式合作和分享想法。会议将涵盖六个协同主题，以促进思想的交流，弥合知识差距，并促进新的研究合作。作为促进职业早期研究人员和学生成长的一项努力，向他们提供旅行奖励至关重要，特别是为那些来自代表人数不足的社区的学生提供旅行奖励，否则他们可能没有机会参加。作为BIBM2023 S承诺的核心，会议将通过支持下一代研究人员的出席、演讲和合作来促进科学进步、促进多样性和造福社会。这笔赠款的目标是为职业生涯早期的研究人员和学生提供旅行奖励，特别是那些来自代表不足的社区的学生，他们已经注册参加BIBM2023。它选择一个合格的队列来接受旅行奖励，并分配资金来支持和支付他们的旅行费用。将使用的方法和途径包括宣传旅行奖励机会，审查申请，并根据标准、财务需求和研究价值选择获奖者。这笔赠款将为培养生物信息学和生物医学领域的下一代研究人员的目标做出重大贡献，支持他们参与BIBM2023专家的工作，并获得各自领域的经验和经验，这最终将促进反映NSF使命的科学、教育、多样性和社会效益的进步。会议网站是“https://bidma.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/IEEE-BIBM-2023/”.This奖，反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Computational Biology and Bioinformatics provide tools and methodologies, which fastens biological research across all biological scales. The 2023 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM2023) will provide a unique opportunity for multi- and interdisciplinary researchers in quantitative sciences, life sciences, and their interfaces to collaborate and share ideas interactively. The conference will cover six synergistic themes to facilitate the cross-fertilization of ideas, bridge knowledge gaps, and promote new research collaborations. As an effort to foster the growth of early-career researchers and students, providing them with travel awards, especially to those from underrepresented communities who may not otherwise have had the opportunity to participate, is crucial. At the heart of BIBM2023's commitment, the conference will promote scientific progress, advance diversity, and benefit society by supporting the attendance, presentation, and collaboration of the next generation of researchers.The goal of this grant is to provide travel awards to the early-career researchers and students, especially those from underrepresented communities, who have registered to attend the BIBM2023. It selects a qualified cohort to receive the travel awards and distributes the fundings to support and cover their travel expenses. The methods and approaches to be used include advertising the travel award opportunity, reviewing applications, and selecting the awardees based on the criteria, financial need, and research merit. The grant will contribute significantly to the goal of fostering the next generation of researchers in the fields of Bioinformatics and Biomedicine by supporting their involvement with experts in the BIBM2023 and gaining experience and exposure in their areas, which would ultimately advance the progress of science, education, diversity, and societal benefits that reflect the NSF's mission.
