DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): NIH support is requested to provide student travel grant support for attendance of a series of symposia at the 2005 annual meeting of the American Electrophoresis Society (AES) focusing on advances in bio-MEM and microfluidic technology in the areas of genomic and proteomic analysis. Focused sessions in these areas have not been previously offered. This conference is held annually in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Institute for Chemical Engineers (AlChE), and uniquely brings together a diverse range of researchers from the fields of biology, engineering, and computational science. We plan to use the requested funds to further encourage attendance from those outside of engineering disciplines by, for the first time, offering approximately 20 travel grants to graduate students and post-doctoral researchers in these areas. These travel grants will be instrumental in (i) allowing a broad cross section of researchers to benefit from the cross-fertilization of technical content and professional interactions available to attendees at this meeting, (ii) catalyzing interdisciplinary collaborations necessary to enable the development of next-generation genomic and proteomic analysis technology, and (iii) encouraging participation by young investigator PIs who would not normally be able to send graduate students to the conference due to limited travel fund availability. These travel grants will also allow us to greatly enhance the technical and professional content of these symposia by accomplishing the following key objectives: 1. Enhance participation by the next generation of researchers involved in the development of bio-MEMS and microfluidic technologies for genomic and proteomic analysis, particularly women and under-represented minorities. 2. Strengthen the technical content of meeting programming. 3. Establish an NIH presence at the AES and AlChE meetings. NIH has not traditionally had a strong presence at this conference, and support of these symposia will be an important step in establishing and maintaining these interactions.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国国立卫生研究院的支持，要求提供学生旅费补助金支持出席一系列专题讨论会在2005年年会的美国电泳学会（AES），重点是在生物MEM和微流体技术的进展，在基因组和蛋白质组学分析领域。以前没有在这些领域举办过有重点的会议。该会议每年与美国化学工程师协会（AlChE）的年会一起举行，独特地汇集了来自生物学，工程和计算科学领域的各种研究人员。我们计划利用所申请的资金，进一步鼓励工程学科以外的人参加，首次向这些领域的研究生和博士后研究人员提供约20笔旅费赠款。这些旅费赠款将有助于（i）使广泛的研究人员能够从本次会议与会者可获得的技术内容和专业互动的交叉施肥中受益，（ii）促进必要的跨学科合作，以实现下一代基因组学和蛋白质组学分析技术的发展，及（iii）鼓励年轻的研究专业主任参与会议，因为他们通常不能派研究生出席会议，因为他们的旅费有限。这些旅费赠款还将使我们能够通过实现以下关键目标，大大提高这些专题讨论会的技术和专业内容： 1.加强参与生物微机电系统和微流体技术开发的下一代研究人员的参与，特别是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族。 2.强化会议节目编排的技术含量。 3.在AES和AlChE会议上建立NIH的存在。美国国立卫生研究院在这次会议上传统上没有一个强有力的存在，这些研讨会的支持将是建立和维持这些互动的重要一步。
