This grant will provide funding for 30 people, many of which are from under-represented groups, the opportunity to attend a workshop on Bioinspiration and Biodiversity in Brunei, Borneo, 16-22 December 2019. Participants will attend plenary lectures on emerging topics in this area, participate in road mapping exercises, and conduct field work in the rich and diverse environment of Brunei, Borneo. There will be plenary lectures in emerging topics such as specimen digitization, data analytics, computational analysis of biological functions, and bioinspired robotics. Road mapping exercises will be conducted in the areas of foundations, digitization, data analytics, hardware paradigms, interdisciplinary education, and team building and research program development. The workshop will also include related field studies.This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for US researchers to form collaborations with some of the foremost biodiversity experts in Southeast Asia. Early career researchers will be trained at this workshop and will have outstanding networking opportunities.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.

这笔赠款将为 30 人提供资助，其中许多人来自代表性不足的群体，有机会参加 2019 年 12 月 16 日至 22 日在婆罗洲文莱举行的生物灵感和生物多样性研讨会。参与者将参加本次会议中有关新兴主题的全体讲座。地区，参加道路测绘练习，并在婆罗洲文莱丰富多样的环境中进行实地工作。大会将举办关于标本数字化、数据分析、生物功能计算分析和仿生机器人等新兴主题的全体讲座。路线图练习将在基础、数字化、数据分析、硬件范例、跨学科教育以及团队建设和研究项目开发等领域进行。该研讨会还将包括相关的实地研究。该研讨会将为美国研究人员提供一个与东南亚一些最重要的生物多样性专家合作的绝佳机会。早期职业研究人员将在该研讨会上接受培训，并将获得出色的交流机会。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。
