Biological networks are vital tools for modeling and analyzing complex phenomena in systems biology. Computational network biology, an interdisciplinary field encompassing biology, computer science, and modeling, has witnessed substantial growth in recent years. The Eighth International Workshop on Computational Network Biology: Modeling, Analysis, and Control (CNB-MAC 2023) will take place in Houston, Texas, on September 3, 2023. This award will support conference travel for a minimum of eight graduate students to attend CNB-MAC. By participating in this workshop, students will gain firsthand knowledge of recent advancements in computational network biology, which will have a lasting impact on their research careers. They will also have the opportunity to present and discuss their own research findings, benefiting from valuable feedback and mentorship from established researchers. Furthermore, CNB-MAC will facilitate networking and collaboration among attendees, fostering meaningful connections within the computational network biology community. This travel support award will offer graduate students valuable opportunities to engage with the computational network biology community at CNB-MAC.CNB-MAC 2023 will be held alongside ACM's Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics, the flagship conference of the ACM Special Interest Group in Bioinformatics. The workshop aims to provide an international scientific platform for presenting recent advances in computational network biology while emphasizing the importance of rigorous mathematical modeling in transforming large biomedical data into reproducible and meaningful scientific knowledge. CNB-MAC invites original research papers reporting new findings that have not been published elsewhere, highlights abstracts showcasing recent journal publications' advancements, and poster abstracts for rapid dissemination of the latest research results in computational network biology. CNB-MAC workshops serve as an excellent venue for young researchers in computational network biology to share ideas and engage in deep scholarly discussions, ultimately contributing to the field's advancement. This NSF award supporting travel to CNB-MAC for a minimum of eight graduate students will provide essential networking and professional development opportunities for the awardees, significantly alleviating the financial burden associated with conference attendance, particularly for students whose mentors are unable to cover registration and travel expenses.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.

生物网络是建模和分析系统生物学复杂现象的重要工具。计算网络生物学是一个跨学科领域，包括生物学，计算机科学和建模，近年来已经看到了大幅增长。第八届计算网络生物学国际研讨会：建模，分析和控制（CNB-MAC 2023）将于2023年9月3日在德克萨斯州休斯敦举行。该奖项将为会议旅行提供至少八位研究生参加CNB-MAC的旅行。通过参加该研讨会，学生将获得有关计算网络生物学最新进步的第一手知识，这将对他们的研究职业产生持久的影响。他们还将有机会介绍和讨论自己的研究结果，从已建立的研究人员的宝贵反馈和指导中受益。此外，CNB-MAC将促进与会者之间的网络和协作，从而在计算网络生物学社区内建立有意义的联系。该旅行支持奖将为研究生提供宝贵的机会，可以在CNB-MAC上与计算网络生物学社区互动。CNB-MAC 2023将与ACM的生物信息学，计算生物学和健康信息学会议一起举行，ACM特殊利益集团在生物信息信息学的ACM特殊利益集团旗舰会议。该研讨会旨在提供一个国际科学平台，以介绍计算网络生物学的最新进展，同时强调严格的数学建模在将大型生物医学数据转换为可重复且有意义的科学知识中的重要性。 CNB-MAC邀请了原始研究论文报告尚未在其他地方发表的新发现，突出显示了摘要展示了最近的期刊出版物的进步，以及快速传播计算网络生物学最新研究结果的海报摘要。 CNB-MAC研讨会是计算网络生物学年轻研究人员的绝佳场所，以分享思想并进行深入的学术讨论，最终为该领域的进步做出了贡献。这项支持CNB-MAC旅行至少八名研究生的NSF奖项将为获奖者提供重要的网络和专业发展机会，并大大减轻了与会议出勤相关的财务负担，特别是对于他们无法涵盖注册和旅行费用的学生，这是NSF的法定任务，并通过评估范围来进行评估的范围。
