This award funds a CISE REU program entitled Research on Biomedical Informatics at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The objectives of this program are to expose students to the concepts, techniques, applications, excitement and rewards of Computer Science (CS) and Biomedical Informatics research, to stimulate the students interests in these fields, to improve students research and communication skills, and to encourage them to pursue a career in CS. The three year program will support the research activities of ten undergraduate students per year for a nine week period. Each student project is derived from on-going faculty-led research projects. The research activities in this proposal will contribute to the understanding of the fundamental theory, principles, and techniques in data mining, information retrieval, networking, security, and privacy. Immediate impacts of these research activities include: (1) enhanced and supported decision making and data mining for clinicians and biomedical researchers; (2) new computing resources for the biomedical network platform and telemedicine; and (3) new protections against potential security breaches leading to improved patient privacy and safety. The research areas in this program cover some of the most challenging research questions in Biomedical Informatics, and each project has the long-term potential to improve the quality of health care, reduce medical errors, provide safer care at a lower cost, and advanced biomedical research. This program helps prepare a workforce of young scientists in CS. This program also allows a diverse group of talented undergraduates to gain valuable research and communication skills and improve self-confidence, creative thinking, and independent problem solving.

该奖项资助田纳西大学查塔努加分校的一项名为“生物医学信息学研究”的 CISE REU 项目。该项目的目标是让学生接触计算机科学（CS）和生物医学信息学研究的概念、技术、应用、兴奋和奖励，激发学生对这些领域的兴趣，提高学生的研究和沟通技巧，并鼓励他们从事 CS 职业。这个为期三年的计划将每年支持十名本科生为期九周的研究活动。每个学生项目都源自正在进行的教师主导的研究项目。本提案中的研究活动将有助于理解数据挖掘、信息检索、网络、安全和隐私方面的基本理论、原理和技术。这些研究活动的直接影响包括：（1）增强和支持临床医生和生物医学研究人员的决策和数据挖掘； （2）生物医学网络平台和远程医疗的新计​​算资源； (3) 针对潜在安全漏洞的新保护措施，从而改善患者的隐私和安全。该计划的研究领域涵盖了生物医学信息学中一些最具挑战性的研究问题，每个项目都具有提高医疗保健质量、减少医疗错误、以更低的成本提供更安全的护理以及先进的生物医学的长期潜力。研究。该计划帮助培养计算机科学领域的年轻科学家队伍。该项目还让多元化的才华横溢的本科生获得宝贵的研究和沟通技能，并提高自信心、创造性思维和独立解决问题的能力。
