This proposal provides support for students, mentors, speakers, and postdoctoral attendees for professional development activities in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Digital Health (ICDH). ICDH and its associated activities will take place virtually, between September 5 and 10, 2021. The funds will be used to fund about 40 students’ registration fees, research competition prizes, and small stipends for faculty mentors, distinguished speakers, and postdoctoral scholars, with the goal of providing high-quality mentoring experiences and broadening participation in the conference to include more members of groups historically underrepresented in STEM fields. Doing this will serve both societal goals around broadening participation, enrich the intellectual diversity of the conference, improve dissemination of the latest results around digital health to a wider population, and further the training of the next generation of researchers interested in digital health. The mentoring will be structured around two main activities. The first is a research project-based competition targeting biomedical engineering and healthcare projects in the domains of diabetes, blood pressure management, cancer management, and independent living for older adults. Graduate students (and postdocs, on a case-by-case basis) will apply to conduct projects of their choice in the competition as either individuals or small teams, with the competition advertised widely including to minority-serving institutions. Accepted project proposals will be chosen by a panel of judges; these proposers will participate in a one day research workshop and presentation competition where they will receive feedback and mentoring from the panel of judges. Participating students will also have half-day virtual mentoring sessions guided by distinguished faculty speakers with expertise in the focal areas of the competition, in which students and mentors will collaboratively explore research challenges in the areas above. The funding will also support participation from experts that will broaden the ICDH in two conference-wide panels on the topics of AI-supported cancer and cardiology treatment.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.

该建议为学生，导师，演讲者和博士后与会者提供了支持，并与IEEE国际数字健康会议（ICDH）一起为专业发展活动提供了支持。 ICDH及其相关的活动将实际上是在2021年9月5日至10日之间进行。资金将用于资助约40个学生的注册费，研究竞赛价格以及对教师导师，杰出的演讲者和博士后学者的小压力，以提供高品质的体验体验体验和宽广的参与，包括更多的成员，包括更多的成员，包括更多的成员。这样做将围绕扩大参与，丰富会议的智力多样性，改善对数字健康的最新成果的传播，并进一步培训对数字健康感兴趣的下一代研究人员的培训。心理将围绕两个主要活动进行结构。首先是针对糖尿病领域生物医学工程和医疗项目的基于研究项目的竞争，血压管理，癌症管理和独立生活。研究生（和博士后，逐案）将适用于作为个人或小型团队在竞争中进行选择的项目，其中竞争广泛广泛传播到少数派服务机构。公认的项目建议将由法官小组选择；这些建议将参加一天的研究研讨会和演讲竞赛，在那里他们将收到法官小组的反馈和心理。参与的学生还将在竞争重点领域具有专业知识的杰出教师演讲者指导的半天虚拟指导会议，在该课程中，学生和入学人士将协作探索上述领域的研究挑战。这笔资金还将支持专家的参与，这些专家将在两个会议范围内就AI支持的癌症和心脏病治疗主题扩大ICDH的参与。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来评估的支持。
