The 6th Global Bioinformatics Education Summit will take place in New York City, to address the challenges of fostering a data-literate life sciences workforce. The Summit will feature world leaders in education policy and practice, and will include sessions focused on how policymakers, funders and industry partners can work together to create national strategies that support bioinformatics education and training. Bioinformatics-skilled individuals are critical to meet 21st century US needs for a changing workforce active in the bioeconomy. Scientific progress in biology is increasingly data-rich and model-driven, requiring skills currently outside of the standard biology curriculum. Data science programs alone cannot supply the need because domain-specific knowledge is essential for deriving understanding from information. Summit activities are focused on supporting working groups tasked with creating and sustaining the development of products such as curricula, competency frameworks, roadmaps and policy papers. A broad range of participants will be recruited, in order to ensure that perspectives from many affected groups are incorporated in the planning documents. The long-term goal is to create a comprehensive, broadly available, inclusive and actionable bioinformatics education strategy.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.

第六届全球生物信息学教育峰会将在纽约市举行，以应对培养数据识别生命科学劳动力的挑战。峰会将以教育政策和实践领域的世界领导人为特色，并包括专注于政策制定者，资助者和行业合作伙伴如何共同努力的会议，以制定支持生物信息学教育和培训的国家战略。生物信息学的人群对于满足21世纪美国对活跃于生物经济的劳动力的需求至关重要。生物学方面的科学进步越来越多地数据富含数据，并且需要目前在标准生物学课程之外的技能。仅数据科学计划就无法满足需求，因为特定领域的知识对于从信息中得出理解至关重要。首脑会议活动的重点是支持负责创建和维持课程，能力框架，路线图和政策论文等产品开发的工作组。将招募广泛的参与者，以确保将许多受影响群体的观点纳入计划文件中。长期目标是创建一个全面，可用，包容和可行的生物信息学教育策略。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
