Travel: IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (IEEE ICHI 2024) Doctoral Consortium Travel Scholarship

该奖项支持美国教育机构的10名博士生参加在美国佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的IEEE国际医疗信息学会议(ICHI 2024)博士生联盟计划。被选中的学生将获得资助，以支付他们的注册、旅行和住宿费用。学生们将被安排进行快速演讲，介绍他们的工作概要，这为专家和同行提供了一个论坛，批评学生的研究，目的是提高他们的科学水平。获奖学生还将有机会获得国际公认专家的网络支持和职业建议。该联盟还举办了一场小组讨论，涵盖与博士生相关的主题(例如，论文提案、论文执行、求职和拨款申请)。该奖项促进了对下一代领导人和劳动力的培训和发展，并加强了妇女和少数族裔学生在这一关键领域的参与。因此，该奖项通过邀请来自不同领域的学生参与者在计算机和健康信息学的交叉点推进研究来促进跨学科研究。总体而言，奖项支持将学生与专家聚集在一起，否则他们可能不会相互接触，并参与健康领域的多学科科学。ICHI 2024是首屈一指的社区论坛，专注于应用计算机科学原理、信息科学原理、信息技术和通信技术来解决医疗保健、公共卫生和日常健康方面的问题。这次会议强调了面向计算机的健康信息学中最新的技术贡献以及相关的社会和伦理影响。ICHI 2024使与会者接触到不同的科学学科方法，支持与与会者建立网络联系，旨在支持健康和生物信息学方面的下一代学者的发展。本次会议感兴趣的特定主题涵盖了卫生信息学研究的各个方面，分为三个轨道：分析轨道、人为因素轨道和系统轨道。ICHI会议有以下目标：(1)在医疗保健信息学学生、研究人员和从业者中促进跨学科教育。(2)推动新兴领域的研究设计和方法开发。(3)整合学术界和产业界/政府之间的知识转化。自2010年在美国华盛顿特区(Ichi 2010)，2012年在美国佛罗里达州迈阿密(Ichi 2012)，2013年在美国宾夕法尼亚州费城(Ichi 2013)，2014年在意大利维罗纳(Ichi 2014)，2015年在美国得克萨斯州达拉斯(Ichi 2015)，2016年在美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥(Ichi 2016)，2017年在美国犹他州帕克城(Ichi 2017)，2018年在美国纽约市(Ichi 2018)，2019在西安，中国(Ichi 2019)，2020年在德国奥尔登堡(Ichi 2020)，2021年在美国犹他州帕克城(Ichi 2017)，2019年在美国纽约(Ichi 2018)，2019年在德国西安市中国(Ichi 2020)，2021年在维多利亚州维多利亚(Ichi 2020)加拿大(ICHI 2021)、明尼苏达州罗切斯特(ICHI 2022)和美国得克萨斯州休斯顿(ICHI 2023)。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力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 award supports ten doctoral students in educational institutions in the United States' to participate in IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI 2024) Doctoral Consortium Program in Orlando, Florida, USA. Students who are selected will receive funding to cover their expenditures on registration, travel, and lodging. Students will be scheduled for a rapid-fire talk to present a synopsis of their work, which provides a forum for expert and peer critique of students' research with the goal of improving their science. Awardee students will also have the opportunity to receive networking support and career advice from internationally recognized experts. The consortium also features a panel discussion covering topics relevant to doctoral students (e.g., dissertation proposal, dissertation execution, job search, and grant seeking). This award promotes the training and development of the future generation of leaders and workforce, as well as enhances the participation of women and minority students in this critical field. Therefore, this award promotes interdisciplinary research by inviting student participants from diverse fields to advance the research at the intersection of computing and health informatics. Overall, the award support brings together students with experts who might not otherwise engage with one another and engage in multidisciplinary science in the area of health. ICHI 2024 is the premier community forum focusing on the application of computer science principles, information science principles, information technology, and communication technology to address problems in healthcare, public health, and everyday wellness. The conference highlights the most novel technical contributions in computing-oriented health informatics and the related social and ethical implications. ICHI 2024 exposes participants to different scientific disciplinary approaches, supports networking with conference attendees and is designed to support the development of the next generation of scholars in health- and bioinformatics. Specific topics of interest for this conference cover various facets of health informatics research grouped into three tracks: analytics track, human factors track, and system track. The ICHI conference has the following goals: (1) Foster interdisciplinary education among healthcare informatics students, researchers, and practitioners. (2) Promote research design and methodology development in the emerging fields. (3) Coalesce knowledge translation between academia and industry/government. The conference has been organized successfully every year since 2010 in Washington DC, USA (ICHI 2010), 2012 in Miami, Florida, USA (ICHI 2012), 2013 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA (ICHI 2013), 2014 in Verona, Italy (ICHI 2014), 2015 in Dallas, Texas, USA (ICHI 2015,), 2016 in Chicago, Illinois, USA (ICHI 2016), 2017 in Park City, Utah, USA (ICHI 2017), 2018 in New York City, USA (ICHI 2018), 2019 in Xi’an, China (ICHI 2019), 2020 in Oldenburg, Germany (ICHI 2020), 2021 in Victoria, Canada (ICHI 2021), 2022 in Rochester, Minnesota (ICHI 2022), and 2023 in Houston, Texas, USA (ICHI 2023).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.
