DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference is the annual meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in the United States in 1997. In 2008 ISMB will be held in Toronto, Canada as a conference of approximately 2000 attendees, including up to 40% students/post doctoral researchers. As a multidisciplinary conference rich in diversity, ISMB brings together graduate students, post doctoral researchers, faculty, research staff and senior scientists of many different nationalities, all of whom are studying or working in computer science, molecular biology, mathematics and/or statistics. The ISMB meeting series bring biologists and computational scientists together to focus on research centered on actual biological problems rather than simply theoretical calculations. The combined focus on "intelligent systems" and actual biological data makes ISMB a unique and highly relevant meeting, and many years of experience in producing the event has resulted in a consistently well organized, well attended, and highly respected annual conference. The scientific program for each ISMB meeting comprises research papers selected by a rigorous peer review process. As an example, for ISMB 2007 417 papers were submitted and 66 were selected for presentation at the meeting. Each accepted paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the program committee, and approved by a topic Area Chair, insuring that the highest possible standards are achieved and the highest quality of work is presented. The specific areas represented in the conference vary each year depending on the areas that researchers find most interesting and innovative, and therefore submit as papers. The core of ISCB's mission is, "To advance the scientific understanding of living systems through computation." The ISMB conference has provided an annual forum for disseminating the latest developments in bioinformatics since 1993, thus serving as a key vehicle for achievement of the Society's mission. Past ISMB conferences have drawn attendees from as many as 48 countries, and attendance has grown from 130 at the first meeting, to 2136 at the 2004 conference. Since 2000 the conference location has been purposefully alternated between North America, Europe, and non-North American/non-European sites to foster international exchange and collaboration. This proposal seeks to secure funding to assist students and junior researchers in attending the conference, thus enabling them to quickly come up to speed in the latest research of their own areas as well as areas that may be new to them. 1 Public Health Benefits The ISMB conference presents the latest research methods and results developed through the application of computer programming to the study of biological sciences, including advances in sequencing genomes that may lead to a better understanding of how, for instance, cells interact for the treatment of diseases such as cancer. Additionally, presentations may describe methods and biological advances associated with the analysis of the existing biological literature, including benchmarking experiments, to create a better public understanding of scientific research reports. Overall, the ISMB conference serves to educate attendees on the latest developments that will further drive the research methods and results of the field of computational biology, and those students and scientists in attendance will be able to return to their labs to apply what they have learned as they advance their own research efforts.

描述（由申请人提供）：分子生物学的智能系统（ISMB）会议是国际计算生物学学会（ISCB）的年度会议，501（c）（3）1997年在美国成立的非营利组织。在2008年，ISMB将在加拿大多伦多举行，大约2000名参与者，包括大约2000名参与者，包括上UP 40％的学生/邮政研究员，包括40％的Poars/Portail Soartail/postail/postail/postail/postail/postail/post of Poars/poctoar corport of Poars/port tocear corpor coart of Poars/port tocear corport in. 40％的研究员/邮政研究所/邮政科会。作为多元化的多学科会议，ISMB汇集了许多不同民族的研究生，博士研究人员，教职员工，研究人员和高级科学家，他们都在计算机科学，分子生物学，数学和/或统计学研究或工作。 ISMB会议系列将生物学家和计算科学家聚集在一起，专注于以实际生物学问题为中心的研究，而不仅仅是理论计算。对“智能系统”和实际生物学数据的综合关注使ISMB成为独特且高度相关的会议，并且在生产该活动方面的多年经验导致了一个始终如一，井井有条，参加良好的人会议且受人尊敬的年度会议。每次ISMB会议的科学计划包括由严格的同行评审过程选择的研究论文。例如，对于ISMB 2007，提交了417篇论文，并在会议上选择了66篇论文。每本被接受的论文将由计划委员会的至少两个成员审查，并由主题区主席批准，确保达到最高标准，并提出最高的工作质量。会议中代表的特定领域每年因研究人员认为最有趣和创新的领域而有所不同，因此作为论文。 ISCB使命的核心是：“通过计算提高对生活系统的科学理解”。 ISMB会议提供了一个年度论坛，用于传播自1993年以来生物信息学的最新发展，从而成为实现社会使命的关键工具。过去的ISMB会议吸引了多达48个国家 /地区的与会者，出勤率从第一次会议上的130个增加到2004年会议上的2136。自2000年以来，会议地点在北美，欧洲和非美国/非欧洲网站之间有目的地交替，以促进国际交流与合作。该提案旨在获得资金，以帮助学生和初级研究人员参加会议，从而使他们能够迅速在自己的领域以及可能是新的领域的最新研究中加快速度。 1公共卫生受益于ISMB会议提出了通过将计算机编程应用于生物科学研究而开发的最新研究方法和结果，包括在测序基因组中的进步，这可能会更好地了解细胞如何以治疗诸如癌症等疾病的治疗。此外，演讲可以描述与分析现有生物学文献（包括基准测试实验）相关的方法和生物学进步，以对科学研究报告有更好的公众了解。总体而言，ISMB会议旨在教育与会者有关最新发展的教育，这些发展将进一步推动计算生物学领域的研究方法和结果，而参加会议的学生和科学家将能够返回他们的实验室来运用他们在推进自己的研究工作时所学到的知识。
