Bioinformatics and biomedicine research is fundamental to our understanding of complex biological systems, impacting the science and technology of fields ranging from agricultural and environmental sciences to pharmaceutical and medical sciences. This research requires close collaboration among multi-disciplinary teams of researchers in quantitative sciences, life sciences, and their interfaces. The 9th Annual IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM-2015; http://cci.drexel.edu/ieeebibm/bibm2015/) will provide an open and interactive forum to promote multi- and interdisciplinary research and education in Bioinformatics and biomedicine, facilitating the cross-fertilization of ideas and bridging of knowledge gaps.The scientific program of BIBM-2015 will cover synergistic themes on genomics, systems biology, translational bioinformatics, and cross-cutting bioinformatics infrastructure to promote new research collaborations. Two special panels, Big Data and Bioinformatics, and the Bioinformatics Educational Workshop will foster discussions on research and education opportunities and barriers. IEEE BIBM 2015 engages world-renowned scientists as keynote speakers and invited speakers, contributed talks at a highly competitive acceptance rate (the BIBM regular paper acceptance rate is always less than 20% since its inception), special issue publications in top scientific journals (so far, BIBM 2015 has confirmed the special issues publications with 6 journals: IEEE Transactions on NanoBiosciences, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, International Journal of Data Mining and Bioinformatics, BMC Bioinformatics, BMC Systems Biology, and BMC Genomics), as well as the board participation of the research community serving on the Program Committee and the organizing committees for workshops, tutorials and posters. As an effort to engage young researchers, IEEE BIBM 2015 has involved them in the meeting organization and has included mentoring activities in the conference program. This award provides the crucial funding needed to support the participation of early career researchers and graduate students, especially those from underrepresented groups, as a training opportunity for the next generation of scientists and engineers, thereby, broadening the scientific impact of this international conference.

生物信息学和生物医学研究是我们理解复杂生物系统的基础，影响着从农业和环境科学到制药和医学科学等领域的科学和技术。这项研究需要定量科学、生命科学及其接口领域的多学科研究人员团队之间的密切合作。第九届 IEEE 国际生物信息学和生物医学会议（BIBM-2015；http://cci.drexel.edu/ieeebibm/bibm2015/）将提供一个开放和互动的论坛，以促进生物信息学和生物医学领域的多学科和跨学科研究和教育，促进思想的交叉传播和缩小知识差距。BIBM-2015 的科学计划将涵盖以下方面的协同主题：基因组学、系统生物学、转化生物信息学和跨领域生物信息学基础设施，以促进新的研究合作。大数据和生物信息学以及生物信息学教育研讨会两个特别小组将促进有关研究和教育机会和障碍的讨论。 IEEE BIBM 2015聘请世界知名科学家作为主讲人和受邀演讲人，以极具竞争力的接受率发表演讲（BIBM常规论文接受率自创办以来始终低于20%），在顶级科学期刊上发表特刊（因此截至目前，BIBM 2015已确认6个期刊的特刊出版：IEEE Transactions on NanoBiosciences、IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics、国际数据挖掘和生物信息学杂志、BMC 生物信息学、BMC 系统生物学和 BMC 基因组学），以及在计划委员会和研讨会、教程和海报组委会任职的研究界的董事会参与。为了吸引年轻研究人员，IEEE BIBM 2015 让他们参与了会议组织，并在会议计划中纳入了指导活动。该奖项提供了支持早期职业研究人员和研究生（尤其是来自代表性不足群体的研究人员和研究生）参与所需的关键资金，作为下一代科学家和工程师的培训机会，从而扩大了本次国际会议的科学影响。
