The 6th Global Bioinformatics Education Summit will take place in New York City, to address the challenges of fostering a data-literate life sciences workforce. The Summit will feature world leaders in education policy and practice, and will include sessions focused on how policymakers, funders and industry partners can work together to create national strategies that support bioinformatics education and training. Bioinformatics-skilled individuals are critical to meet 21st century US needs for a changing workforce active in the bioeconomy. Scientific progress in biology is increasingly data-rich and model-driven, requiring skills currently outside of the standard biology curriculum. Data science programs alone cannot supply the need because domain-specific knowledge is essential for deriving understanding from information. Summit activities are focused on supporting working groups tasked with creating and sustaining the development of products such as curricula, competency frameworks, roadmaps and policy papers. A broad range of participants will be recruited, in order to ensure that perspectives from many affected groups are incorporated in the planning documents. The long-term goal is to create a comprehensive, broadly available, inclusive and actionable bioinformatics education strategy.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.

第六届全球生物信息学教育峰会将在纽约市举行，以应对培养具有数据素养的生命科学工作者的挑战。峰会将邀请教育政策和实践领域的世界领导人参加，并将包括侧重于政策制定者、资助者和行业合作伙伴如何共同制定支持生物信息学教育和培训的国家战略的会议。生物信息技术熟练的个人是至关重要的，以满足21世纪世纪美国的需要不断变化的劳动力活跃在生物经济。生物学的科学进步越来越数据丰富和模型驱动，需要目前标准生物学课程之外的技能。数据科学项目本身无法满足需求，因为特定领域的知识对于从信息中获得理解至关重要。首脑会议活动的重点是支持负责创建和维持课程、能力框架、路线图和政策文件等产品开发的工作组。将招募广泛的参与者，以确保将许多受影响群体的观点纳入规划文件。长期目标是创建一个全面的，广泛可用的，包容性和可操作的生物信息学教育战略。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。
