Travel: IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (IEEE ICHI 2024) Doctoral Consortium Travel Scholarship

该奖项支持10名美国教育机构的博士生参加在美国佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的IEEE医疗保健信息学国际会议（ICHI 2024）博士联盟项目。被选中的学生将获得资金来支付他们的注册费、旅费和住宿费。学生们将被安排一个快速的谈话来展示他们的工作概要，这为专家和同行提供了一个论坛来评论学生的研究，目的是提高他们的科学水平。获奖学生还将有机会获得国际公认专家的网络支持和职业建议。该联盟还设有一个小组讨论，涵盖与博士生相关的主题（例如，论文提案，论文执行，求职和寻求资助）。该奖项旨在促进下一代领导者和劳动力的培训和发展，并加强妇女和少数民族学生在这一关键领域的参与。因此，该奖项通过邀请来自不同领域的学生参与者来促进计算机和健康信息学交叉领域的研究，从而促进跨学科研究。总的来说，奖励支持将学生与专家聚集在一起，否则他们可能不会相互接触，并从事卫生领域的多学科科学。ICHI 2024是主要的社区论坛，专注于应用计算机科学原理、信息科学原理、信息技术和通信技术来解决医疗保健、公共卫生和日常健康方面的问题。会议强调了在面向计算的健康信息学方面最新颖的技术贡献以及相关的社会和伦理影响。ICHI 2024使参与者接触到不同的科学学科方法，支持与会议与会者建立网络，并旨在支持下一代健康和生物信息学学者的发展。本次会议感兴趣的具体主题涵盖了卫生信息学研究的各个方面，分为三个方向：分析方向、人为因素方向和系统方向。ICHI会议有以下目标：(1)促进医疗信息学学生、研究人员和从业人员之间的跨学科教育。(2)促进新兴领域的研究设计和方法发展。(3)整合学术界与产业界/政府之间的知识转化。会议已成功组织了自2010年以来每年都在华盛顿特区,美国(2010年ICHI), 2012年在迈阿密,佛罗里达,美国(2012年ICHI), 2013年在费城,宾夕法尼亚州,美国(2013年ICHI), 2014年在维罗纳,意大利(2014年ICHI), 2015年在达拉斯,德克萨斯,美国(2015年ICHI), 2016年在芝加哥,伊利诺斯州,美国(2016年ICHI),犹他州帕克城2017年美国(2017年ICHI), 2018年在纽约,美国(2018年ICHI), 2019年在西安,中国(2019年ICHI), 2020年奥尔登堡,德国(2020年ICHI), 2021年维多利亚,加拿大（ICHI 2021）， 2022年在明尼苏达州罗切斯特（ICHI 2022）， 2023年在美国德克萨斯州休斯顿（ICHI 2023）。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。

This award supports ten doctoral students in educational institutions in the United States' to participate in IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI 2024) Doctoral Consortium Program in Orlando, Florida, USA. Students who are selected will receive funding to cover their expenditures on registration, travel, and lodging. Students will be scheduled for a rapid-fire talk to present a synopsis of their work, which provides a forum for expert and peer critique of students' research with the goal of improving their science. Awardee students will also have the opportunity to receive networking support and career advice from internationally recognized experts. The consortium also features a panel discussion covering topics relevant to doctoral students (e.g., dissertation proposal, dissertation execution, job search, and grant seeking). This award promotes the training and development of the future generation of leaders and workforce, as well as enhances the participation of women and minority students in this critical field. Therefore, this award promotes interdisciplinary research by inviting student participants from diverse fields to advance the research at the intersection of computing and health informatics. Overall, the award support brings together students with experts who might not otherwise engage with one another and engage in multidisciplinary science in the area of health. ICHI 2024 is the premier community forum focusing on the application of computer science principles, information science principles, information technology, and communication technology to address problems in healthcare, public health, and everyday wellness. The conference highlights the most novel technical contributions in computing-oriented health informatics and the related social and ethical implications. ICHI 2024 exposes participants to different scientific disciplinary approaches, supports networking with conference attendees and is designed to support the development of the next generation of scholars in health- and bioinformatics. Specific topics of interest for this conference cover various facets of health informatics research grouped into three tracks: analytics track, human factors track, and system track. The ICHI conference has the following goals: (1) Foster interdisciplinary education among healthcare informatics students, researchers, and practitioners. (2) Promote research design and methodology development in the emerging fields. (3) Coalesce knowledge translation between academia and industry/government. The conference has been organized successfully every year since 2010 in Washington DC, USA (ICHI 2010), 2012 in Miami, Florida, USA (ICHI 2012), 2013 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA (ICHI 2013), 2014 in Verona, Italy (ICHI 2014), 2015 in Dallas, Texas, USA (ICHI 2015,), 2016 in Chicago, Illinois, USA (ICHI 2016), 2017 in Park City, Utah, USA (ICHI 2017), 2018 in New York City, USA (ICHI 2018), 2019 in Xi’an, China (ICHI 2019), 2020 in Oldenburg, Germany (ICHI 2020), 2021 in Victoria, Canada (ICHI 2021), 2022 in Rochester, Minnesota (ICHI 2022), and 2023 in Houston, Texas, USA (ICHI 2023).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.
