RECOMB is an international scientific conference bridging the computational, mathematical, and biological sciences. The RECOMB conference series was founded in 1997 to provide a scientific forum for theoretical advances in computational biology and their applications in molecular biology and medicine. RECOMB 2023 will be the 27th Annual Meeting, held in Istanbul, Turkey. RECOMB features keynote talks by preeminent scientists, together with presentations of refereed research papers in computational biology, special sessions, and poster sessions. This project requests travel support for student conference participants from any US university, with priority going to graduate students who will be presenting paper or posters. Overall, students will be educated on cutting-edge developments that will further drive the research methods and results of the field of computational biology. Students and scientists will return to their labs to apply what they have learned as they advance their own research efforts or begin investigating new areas, they were exposed to because of attending RECOMB. NSF investment in this project will help further students’ careers and our nation’s competitiveness in an expanding, global industry, and will benefit the public through new discoveries made by highly trained scientists. The meeting and proposed travel fellowships will have value for educational purposes, creating a unique training opportunity for 10 U.S.-based students of computational biology. Awarded travel fellowships will cover registration, hotel, and travel costs for a selected group of student presenters. Preference will be given to students with proceedings papers that are accepted for oral presentation at the conference and secondarily to those making poster presentations of accepted abstracts. Selection will be made by the conference chairs based on letters of application submitted via the conference website and reviewers’ evaluations of the work to be presented. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities will be especially encouraged to apply with the goal of achieving diversity at the meeting and directly benefitting diverse groups. As much as possible, participant support cost requested in this grant will be used specifically to fund the travel expenses of students from these three underrepresented groups to increase their access to training opportunities. By attending the RECOMB meeting, students will gain the latest skills in computational biology, the field that has the potential to unlock the secrets for understanding life. The field comprises a vibrant, growing industry, with skilled computational scientists in high demand at pharmaceutical, agricultural, environmental, consumer products, biotech, software, hardware, and service companies. Students’ participation is vital for the growth and continuation of the field.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.

重梳是一次国际科学会议，桥接计算，数学和生物科学。重梳会议系列成立于1997年，旨在为计算生物学的理论进步及其在分子生物学和医学中的应用提供科学论坛。 Recomb 2023将是在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行的第27届年会。重新梳理着杰出科学家的主题演讲，以及计算生物学，特殊会议和海报会议中的参考研究论文的演讲。该项目要求对任何美国大学的学生会议参与者提供旅行支持，并优先考虑将介绍纸张或海报的研究生。总体而言，学生将接受有关尖端发展的教育，这将进一步推动计算生物学领域的研究方法和结果。学生和科学家将返回实验室，以应用自己的研究工作或开始调查新领域时所学到的知识，他们因参加重新梳理而受到暴露。 NSF对该项目的投资将有助于进一步的学生职业生涯和我们国家在不断扩展的全球行业中的竞争力，并通过训练有素的科学家的新发现使公众受益。会议和拟议的旅行奖学金将具有教育目的的价值，为10个美国计算生物学学生创造了独特的培训机会。授予的旅行奖学金将涵盖一组选定的学生演示者的注册，酒店和旅行费用。偏爱将偏向于会议上接受口头陈述的诉讼论文的学生，其次是对公认摘要进行海报演示的人。会议主席将根据会议网站提交的申请书以及审稿人对要介绍的工作的评估进行选择。特别鼓励妇女，少数民族和残疾人申请在会议上实现多样性并直接使多样性群体受益。尽可能多的参与者支持本赠款中要求的成本将专门用于资助这三个代表性不足的小组的学生的旅行费用，以增加他们获得培训机会的机会。通过参加重梳会议，学生将获得计算生物学方面的最新技能，该领域有可能解锁理解生活的秘密。该领域包括一个充满活力的行业，在制药，农业，环境，消费品，生物技术，软件，硬件和服务公司的熟练计算科学家需求高度需求。学生的参与对于该领域的增长和延续至关重要。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影响的评论标准来评估值得支持的。
