The 11th International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA) 2019 takes place in Cambridge UK July 8th to July 12th and will bring together researchers from electronic design automation (the practice of using computer software to build complex electronics) and synthetic biology (the forward design of novel biological systems using engineering principles). The goal of IWBDA is to make biology more easily, robustly, reliably, and predictably engineered and therefore, tackle challenges in biology and medicine, leading to advances in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. This award provides travel assistance for ten undergraduate and graduate students to attend this workshop to present research, participate in a computer programming competition, and network with a large community of industrial and academic researchers. These participants will go on to form the foundation of the field in the future. Specifically these students will join a wide variety of researchers (120+) from electronic design automation and synthetic biology in a unique context which does not exist elsewhere. They will have access to between twelve and fifteen technical talks, two invited lectures, ten to twenty posters, multiple group discussion sessions, and a featured student programming competition (BDAthlon). This award covers the registration for the workshop as well as partial support for travel and housing.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.

2019 年第 11 届生物设计自动化国际研讨会 (IWBDA) 将于 7 月 8 日至 12 日在英国剑桥举行，届时来自电子设计自动化（使用计算机软件构建复杂电子产品的实践）和合成生物学（前沿技术）的研究人员将齐聚一堂。使用工程原理设计新型生物系统）。 IWBDA 的目标是使生物学设计更加容易、稳健、可靠和可预测，从而应对生物学和医学领域的挑战，从而推动疾病诊断、治疗和预防方面的进步。该奖项为 10 名本科生和研究生提供交通补助，让他们参加研讨会、展示研究成果、参加计算机编程竞赛，并与众多工业和学术研究人员建立联系。这些参与者将继续为未来该领域奠定基础。具体来说，这些学生将在其他地方不存在的独特环境中加入来自电子设计自动化和合成生物学的各种研究人员（120 多名）。他们将有机会参加 12 到 15 场技术讲座、两场邀请讲座、十到 20 张海报、多次小组讨论会以及特色学生编程竞赛 (BDAthlon)。该奖项涵盖研讨会的注册以及对旅行和住宿的部分支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
