The purpose of this award is to support travel expenses for students to attend HARMONY 2018 to be hosted by University of Oxford in Oxford, UK from June 18th to 22nd. This workshop is instrumental in making progress in the development of standards in synthetic biology. Currently, most standardization efforts are either unfunded or only have very limited support. The success of these standards hinges on the donation of time from many individuals to participate in discussions, write specifications, serve as standards editors, and attend workshops. Many of these individuals working on the development of standards are students based in the US who would find it difficult to find the funds to attend this meeting. Therefore, this award helps support travel, lodging, and registration expenses for US based students working on systems and synthetic biology standards. Not only would this be a valuable experience for these participants, but it would also greatly enhance the COMBINE goal of bringing together researchers in synthetic biology with those working in systems biology leading to integrated standards and shared software and infrastructure.Standards for data exchange are critical to the development of any field since they enable researchers and practitioners to exchange information reliably, apply a variety of tools to their problems, and reproduce scientific results. The COmputational MOdeling in Biology NEtwork (COMBINE) was created in 2010 to organize standardization efforts for systems biology. The HARMONY workshop is organized by COMBINE and will be held at the University of Oxford in the UK, from June 18th to 22nd 2018. The major goals of this workshop will be: (a) Develop synergistic relationships between systems and synthetic biology researchers. (b) Produce a tighter integration of standard development for systems and synthetic biology. (c) Engage in outreach to modelers and experimentalists. (d) Develop a coordinated effort to advocate the use of standards in publications and archival databases.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.

该奖项的目的是支持学生参加2018年和谐的旅行费用，由6月18日至22日由英国牛津大学牛津大学主办。该研讨会有助于在合成生物学的标准发展方面取得进展。当前，大多数标准化工作要么是无资金的，要么只有非常有限的支持。这些标准的成功取决于许多人捐赠时间，以参加讨论，编写规格，作为标准编辑并参加研讨会。这些从事标准发展的人中的许多人都是美国的学生，他们发现很难找到参加这次会议的资金。因此，该奖项有助于支持从事系统和合成生物学标准的美国学生的旅行，住宿和注册费用。对于这些参与者而言，这不仅将是一项宝贵的经验，而且还将大大提高将研究人员与系统生物学工作的研究人员融合在一起的组合目标，从而实现整体标准，共享软件和基础架构。数据交换的标准对于任何领域的发展至关重要，因为他们使研究人员和实践者能够使信息变得可靠地交流，以使其与其他工具相处融合，并将其应用于各种工具。生物学网络中的计算建模（联合）于2010年创建，以组织系统生物学的标准化工作。和谐研讨会由联合收割机组织，将于2018年6月18日至22日在英国牛津大学举行。该研讨会的主要目标是：（a）建立系统与合成生物学研究人员之间的协同关系。 （b）对系统和合成生物学的标准开发产生更严格的整合。 （c）与建模者和实验家进行宣传。 （d）制定协调的努力，以倡导在出版物和档案数据库中使用标准。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持的。
