Conference: International Symposium on Biomathematics and Ecology, Education and Research-BEER-XVI ASPIRE Advancing Sustainable Partnerships Integrating Research and Education

该奖项将支持2023年11月3日至5日在弗吉尼亚州弗吉尼亚联邦大学里士满举行的会议（https：//about.illinoisstate.edu/beer/）。生物数学与生态学，教育和研究国际研讨会（BEER）为本科生，研究生和早期职业研究人员提供了一个机会，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体，以推进他们在健康和数据科学数学和计算建模领域的研究和指导组合。它将促进在国际和多元化环境中的互动和讨论，以启动涵盖健康和数据科学的跨学科合作，并激励参加NSF指定为少数民族机构的大学的学生和/或来自经济弱势家庭以及当地社区学院的代表性不足的群体的学生进行研究生学习并了解更多有关资助机会的信息。此外，更广泛的生物数学研究人员和教师社区将通过会议了解该领域的最新发展。BEER旨在为本科生，研究生和早期职业研究人员提供机会，以推进他们在健康和数据科学领域的数学和计算建模方面的研究和指导组合。在啤酒小组讨论将包括跨学科研究，职业和职业发展的早期职业研究人员和教师。会议和讨论在促进领先和年轻研究人员的互动和合作方面是新颖的，包括代表性不足的少数民族，他们在数学，生物学，建模，健康和数据科学的界面上具有不同的专业领域。今年的主题是ASPIRE（推进可持续的伙伴关系整合研究和教育）将庆祝研究的多样性，连接来自代表性不足的背景，种族，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过评估被认为值得支持。使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

This award will support a conference on November 3-5, 2023 to be held in Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia (https://about.illinoisstate.edu/beer/). The International Symposium on Biomathematics and Ecology, Education and Research (BEER) provides an opportunity for undergraduate students, graduate students, and early career researchers, especially those from underrepresented groups, to advance their research and mentoring portfolio in the area of mathematical and computational modeling in health and data science. It will facilitate interactions and discussions in an international and diverse environment for initiating interdisciplinary collaboration covering health and data science and motivate students who attend universities designated by NSF as minority institutions and/or students from underrepresented groups who come from economically disadvantaged families as well as from local community colleges to pursue graduate studies and know more about funding opportunities. In addition, the broader community of Biomathematics researchers and teachers will become aware of the latest developments in the area through the proceedings.BEER aims to provide an opportunity for undergraduate students, graduate students, and early career researchers to advance their research and mentoring portfolio in the area of mathematical and computational modeling in health and data science. The panel discussions in BEER will include interdisciplinary research, career and professional development for early career researchers and faculty. The sessions and discussions are novel in promoting interactions and collaborations of leading and young researchers including underrepresented minorities with different areas of expertise at the interface of mathematics, biology, modeling, health, and data science. This year's theme ASPIRE (Advancing Sustainable Partnerships Integrating Research and Education) will celebrate diversity in research by connecting members from underrepresented backgrounds, ethnicity, and genders while obtaining advice and inspiration from leaders in academia and industry at the interface of applied mathematics and public health and data sciences fields.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.
