Doctoral Symposium at the 2019 Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention Conference (MICCAI 2019)

该资助部分支持来自美国机构的学生参加2019年医学图像计算和计算机辅助干预（MICCAI）会议的博士研讨会。MICCAI是MICCAI协会的年度会议，预计2019年将有来自世界各地的1000多名与会者。这项资助将帮助参加会议的MICCAI领域的一些最聪明的初级研究人员的职业发展，通过引起对研究生发展的一个重要方面的关注，为研究界做出贡献。博士研讨会委员会将选择获奖者，优先考虑来自代表性不足的种族和族裔群体，残疾人和弱势背景的个人。申请的资金将部分用于支持10名美国学生参加MICCAI 2019和参加博士研讨会的旅费。拟议的研讨会将包括受邀和选定的研究报告，重点是MICCAI主题。MICCAI协会致力于促进、保存和促进医学图像计算和计算机辅助医疗干预领域的研究、教育和实践，包括生物医学成像和机器人技术。这些新兴领域的多学科性质将临床医生、生物科学家、计算机科学家、工程师、物理学家和其他研究人员聚集在一起，他们正在为方法和应用方面的进步做出贡献，并需要与时俱进。这次博士研讨会为学生提供了一个机会，包括来自美国机构的学生，他们可以在更广泛的社区内展示、讨论和接收原创性研究的反馈。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 grant partially supports the participation of students from US-based institutions in the Doctoral Symposium at the 2019 Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) conference. MICCAI is the annual conference of MICCAI society with expected over 1,000 attendees in 2019 from all the world. This grant will help the career development of some of the brightest junior researchers in MICCAI fields attending the conference, contributes to the research community in general by drawing attention to an important aspect of graduate student development. The doctoral symposium committee will select awardees, with priority given to those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.The requested funding will partially support travels for 10 US-based students to attend MICCAI 2019 and participate in the doctoral symposium. The proposed symposium will feature both invited and selected research presentations that focus on MICCAI topics. The MICCAI Society is dedicated to the promotion, preservation and facilitation of research, education and practice in the field of medical image computing and computer assisted medical interventions including biomedical imaging and robotics. The multidisciplinary nature of these emerging fields brings together clinicians, bioscientists, computer scientists, engineers, physicists, and other researchers who are contributing to, and need to keep abreast of, advances in the methodology and applications. This doctoral symposium provides an opportunity to students including students from US based institutions to present, discuss, and receive feedback on original research within the broader community.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.
