The 2023 AfroBiotech Conference will be held October 22-24, 2023. The conference highlights the achievements of African Americans in biotechnology, inspires a new generation of diverse biotechnology professionals and identifies, communicates, and explores current advancements in various aspects of Biotechnology. This forum organizes African-American scientific talent from across the U.S. at a single event and aims to enable the biotech industry to hire diverse professionals, inspire organizers of other scientific conferences to invite diverse speakers and inspire the next generation of diverse students and scholars to join this community. The conference provides forums for scientific presentations, posters, networking, extended discussions, presentations and is inclusive of early-career researchers, postdoctoral associates and graduate students.Biotechnology continues to be a rapidly developing field, and it is critical to ensure that innovations are equitable and that they serve all people. An effective way to stop ongoing marginalization of historically underserved communities is to empower an inclusive workforce in which diverse personal experiences and perspectives inform technology development and applications. Tools continue to improve efficiency and accuracy; new companies are using biotechnology to solve challenges in therapeutics, health and agriculture; and government funding of biotechnology and bio-based industries all make it an important time for members of the community to engage and collaborate, moving the technology forward as quickly, safely and effectively as possible. The AfroBiotech conference will creates a forum for African American biological engineers to become organized to focus on this growing opportunity and at the same time address advances and prospects in scientific areas pertinent to biological engineering. The conference has a diverse agenda that is inclusive of early-career and postdoctoral researchers as well as graduate students.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.

2023年非洲生物技术会议将于2023年10月22日至24日举行。会议重点介绍非裔美国人在生物技术方面的成就，激励新一代多元化生物技术专业人士，并识别、交流和探索生物技术各个方面的当前进展。该论坛在一次活动中组织了来自美国各地的非裔美国科学人才，旨在使生物技术行业能够聘请多元化的专业人士，激励其他科学会议的组织者邀请多元化的演讲者，并激励下一代多元化的学生和学者加入这个社区。该会议为科学演讲、海报、网络、扩展讨论、演示提供了论坛，包括早期职业研究人员、博士后和研究生。生物技术仍然是一个快速发展的领域，确保创新的公平性至关重要他们为所有人服务。阻止历史上服务不足的社区持续边缘化的一个有效方法是增强包容性的劳动力队伍，让不同的个人经历和观点为技术开发和应用提供信息。工具不断提高效率和准确性；新公司正在利用生物技术来解决治疗、健康和农业方面的挑战；政府对生物技术和生物基产业的资助都使其成为社区成员参与和协作的重要时刻，从而尽可能快速、安全和有效地推动技术向前发展。 AfroBiotech 会议将为非裔美国生物工程师创建一个论坛，组织起来关注这一不断增长的机会，同时讨论与生物工程相关的科学领域的进展和前景。该会议有一个多元化的议程，包括早期职业生涯和博士后研究人员以及研究生。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。
