Workshop Proposal IMAG Futures Meeting

项目摘要

It is now an opportune time to assess the current state of modeling in biomedical, biological and behavioral research. In 2003, a small trans-agency working group resulted in the formation of the Inter-agency Modeling and Analysis Group (IMAG) and the first inter-agency solicitation formultiscale modeling of biomedical, biological and behavioral systems. That solicitation funded 24 projects, creating the Multiscale Modeling Consortium (MSM). The IMAG MSM Consortium is now in its fourth year and the awards made through the original MSM solicitation are expiring. Since then many other initiatives have emerged from the eight IMAG government agencies thathave a focus on multiscale modeling (e.g., NIH, NSF, DOE). As the original MSM projects expire and new MSM projects are introduced to the MSM Consortium, IMAG has determined that this year, in lieu of the annual MSM grantee meeting, IMAG will hold an IMAG Futures Meeting featuring twenty invited broad thinkers in biology representing different biology disciplines(see attached Agenda) to brainstorm ideas concerning the future of biomedical, biological and behavioral modeling, including an assessment of current progress, both successes and failures. Specifically, the meeting will provide an opportunity for IMAG to assess to what extent computational modeling has succeeded or failed to make a difference in the broader research endeavor, and to discuss these issues in the context of current challenges and opportunities for biomedical, biological and behavioral modeling.The twenty invited scientists representing diverse areas of biology, and representatives from NIH, NSF, and DOE, will discuss the impact of computing on biology and biomedicine to identify failures and successes and direct future work through a report generated from the meeting.

现在是评估生物医学、生物学和行为研究建模现状的最佳时机。 2003 年，一个小型跨机构工作组成立了机构间建模和分析小组 (IMAG)，并首次针对生物医学、生物和行为系统的多尺度建模进行机构间征集。此次招标资助了 24 个项目，创建了多尺度建模联盟 (MSM)。 IMAG MSM 联盟现已进入第四个年头，通过最初的 MSM 征集获得的奖项即将到期。从那时起，八个专注于多尺度建模的 IMAG 政府机构（例如 NIH、NSF、DOE）提出了许多其他举措。随着原来的 MSM 项目到期，新的 MSM 项目被引入 MSM 联盟，IMAG 决定，今年，IMAG 将举办一次 IMAG 未来会议，以代替年度 MSM 受资助者会议，邀请 20 名代表不同生物学的广泛生物学思想家参加学科（见附件议程）集思广益有关生物医学、生物和行为建模的未来的想法，包括对当前进展、成功和失败的评估。具体来说，这次会议将为 IMAG 提供一个机会，评估计算模型在更广泛的研究工作中成功或失败的程度，并在生物医学、生物学和行为学当前挑战和机遇的背景下讨论这些问题。代表不同生物学领域的 20 名受邀科学家以及来自 NIH、NSF 和 DOE 的代表将讨论计算对生物学和生物医学的影响，以确定失败和成功，并通过会议生成的报告指导未来的工作。
