Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for 2023 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI)

2023年电气和电子工程师学会(IEEE)医学工程和生物学会(EMBS)生物医学和健康信息学国际会议(BHI‘23)是关于医疗保健和生命科学中的信息学和计算的主要旗舰会议。BHI‘23将于2023年10月15日至18日在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡举行。BHI‘23的主题是“用人工智能(AI)改变医疗保健和医学”。它将为跨学科研究人员提供一个独特的平台，展示他们在应对生物医学挑战的大数据分析和机器学习方面的研究。BHI‘23的一项重要使命是促进本科生和研究生的参与和参与，特别是妇女和来自代表性不足群体的学生。国家科学基金会(NSF)学生旅行奖将通过向来自代表不足群体的合格学生和没有资金参加会议的学生提供旅行奖励来支持这一目标。在NSF的支持下，调查人员预计将向大约30名学生提供旅行奖励，以鼓励他们参加BHI‘23。BHI‘23将为学生获奖者提供展示他们的研究、扩大知识、与世界级研究人员建立网络和扩大合作的机会。此外，与会者将有机会获得主题演讲、职业和技术小组讨论、特别会议、研讨会和教程。调查人员将通过保留至少25%的奖项给代表不足的群体的学生来促进多样性和公平性，并支持首次参加会议的人。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 2023 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBS) International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI’23) is a premier flagship conference on informatics and computing in healthcare and life sciences. BHI’23 will take place from October 15 to 18, 2023 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The theme of BHI’23 is “Transforming healthcare and medicine with artificial intelligence (AI).” It will provide a unique platform for cross-disciplinary researchers to showcase their research on big data analytics and machine learning that addresses challenges in biomedicine. An important mission of BHI’23 is to promote participation and engagement of undergraduate and graduate students, especially women and students from under-represented groups. The National Science Foundation (NSF) Student Travel Award will support this goal by providing travel awards to qualified students from under-represented groups and students who lack funds to attend the conference.With the NSF support, the investigators expect to provide travel awards to approximately 30 students to encourage their participation in BHI’23. BHI’23 will provide the student awardees with opportunities to present their research, expand knowledge, network with world-class researchers, and broaden collaborations. Furthermore, participants will have access to keynote speeches, career and technology panels, special sessions, workshops, and tutorials. The investigators will promote diversity and equity by reserving at least 25% of the awards to students from under-represented groups and support first-time attendees to the conference.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.
