The ACM Special Interest Group on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Biomedical Informatics (SIGBioinformatics; http://www.sigbioinformatics.org/) has been instituted in 2010 with the aim of focusing on theory and practice of processing, storing, analyzing, mining and knowledge management of biological and biomedical data. The mission of ACM SIGBioinformatics is to support advanced research, training, and outreach in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Biomedical Informatics by stimulating interactions among researchers, educators and practitioners from related multi-disciplinary fields. The third ACM Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology will be held in Orlando, Florida in October 2012. As a flagship conference of ACM SIG Bioinformatics, it provides a premier forum for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research encompassing disciplines of computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, and biomedicine. This award provides travel support for 20 graduate students to attend the conference. This will allow the students to participate in the conference, workshop and tutorials. Additionally special activities such as a doctoral consortium and student poster session will be specifically targeted for them. Participation in premier research conferences in bioinformatics and computational biology is an integral component of doctoral research-based training. It will allow them to interact and network with and potentially collaborate with leading researchers in the discipline. In addition, it will provide them access to potential career opportunities for full time employment after graduation in industry, academia and government.

ACM 生物信息学、计算生物学和生物医学信息学特别兴趣小组 (SIGBioinformatics; http://www.sigbioinformatics.org/) 于 2010 年成立，旨在重点关注处理、存储、分析、挖掘的理论和实践以及生物和生物医学数据的知识管理。 ACM SIGBioinformatics 的使命是通过促进相关多学科领域的研究人员、教育工作者和从业者之间的互动，支持生物信息学、计算生物学和生物医学信息学的高级研究、培训和推广。 第三届 ACM 生物信息学和计算生物学会议将于 2012 年 10 月在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行。作为 ACM SIG 生物信息学的旗舰会议，它为涵盖计算机科学、数学、统计学、生物学等学科的跨学科和多学科研究提供了首要论坛。 、生物信息学和生物医学。该奖项为 20 名研究生参加会议提供旅费支持。这将使学生能够参加会议、研讨会和教程。此外，还将专门针对他们举办博士联盟和学生海报会议等特殊活动。 参加生物信息学和计算生物学领域的重要研究会议是博士研究培训的一个组成部分。它将允许他们与该学科的领先研究人员互动、建立联系，并有可能进行合作。 此外，它还将为他们提供毕业后在工业界、学术界和政府部门从事全职工作的潜在职业机会。
