DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): ISMB 2011 Conference Travel Support for Students and Young Scientists. The Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference in 2011 will be held in Vienna, Austria, as a conference of approximately 1,500-1,700 attendees, including 33-38% students/post doctoral researchers. ISMB brings together graduate students, post doctoral researchers, faculty, research staff and senior scientists of many different nationalities, all of whom are studying or working in computer science, molecular biology, mathematics and/or statistics. The conference brings biologists and computational scientists together to focus on research centered on actual biological problems rather than simply theoretical calculations. The combined focus on "intelligent systems" and actual biological data makes ISMB a highly relevant meeting, and many years of producing the event has resulted in a well organized, well attended, and respected annual conference. The ISMB conference presents the latest research methods and results developed through the application of computer programming to the study of biological sciences, including advances in sequencing genomes that may lead to a better understanding of how, for instance, cells interact for the treatment of diseases such as cancer. Additionally, presentations may describe methods and advances associated with the analysis of existing biological literature, including benchmarking experiments, to create a better public understanding of scientific research reports. Overall, ISMB serves to educate attendees on the latest developments that will further drive the research methods and results of the field of computational biology. Students and scientists are able to return to their labs to apply what they have learned as they advance their own research efforts. The scientific program for each ISMB meeting comprises parallel presentation tracks of original research papers, highlights of recently published research, topically focused special sessions on emerging topics, technology demos, tutorial workshops, special interest group meetings and a student symposium organized by and for students. As an example, for ISMB 2010, 234 original research papers were submitted and 48 selected for the Proceedings Track; 126 published papers were submitted and 42 selected for the Highlights Track; nine proposals were submitted and four selected for presentation along with two invited for the Special Sessions Track. In all, well over 200 talks were presented during the course of the 2010 conference, and similar numbers are anticipated for 2011. In all cases, submissions are rigorously reviewed, typically by three members of each track's committee before approval by the track chair, insuring the highest possible quality of work is presented. The specific areas represented in the conference vary each year depending on the areas that researchers find most interesting and innovative, and therefore submit as papers and proposals. This proposal seeks funding to assist students and junior researchers in attending the conference, thus exposing them to the latest research of their own areas as well as areas that may be new to them. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Relevance Bioinformatics is well established as an essential tool for understanding biological systems. The widespread recognition of bioinformatics has been largely driven by genomic sequence efforts, because laboratory scientists recognize that the usefulness of genomic data in the quest to develop new and improved treatments for and prevention of disease is highly dependent on one's ability to electronically access and manipulate it. Biologists are routinely integrating computational tools into their research programs and creating large predictive models based on information found in databases and other electronic resources. The Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference series directly addresses these questions by showcasing the latest advances in the field, as well as exposing what's on the horizon of future discoveries.

描述（由申请人提供）：ISMB 2011 学生和青年科学家会议旅行支持。 2011年分子生物学智能系统（ISMB）会议将在奥地利维也纳举行，会议约有1,500-1,700名与会者，其中33-38%是学生/博士后研究人员。 ISMB 汇集了来自许多不同国家的研究生、博士后研究人员、教师、研究人员和资深科学家，他们都在计算机科学、分子生物学、数学和/或统计学领域学习或工作。这次会议将生物学家和计算科学家聚集在一起，重点关注以实际生物学问题为中心的研究，而不仅仅是理论计算。对“智能系统”和实际生物数据的共同关注使 ISMB 成为一个高度相关的会议，多年来举办该活动的结果是一次组织良好、出席人数众多且受人尊敬的年度会议。 ISMB 会议介绍了通过计算机编程在生物科学研究中的应用而开发的最新研究方法和成果，包括基因组测序方面的进展，这可能有助于更好地理解细胞如何相互作用以治疗疾病，例如作为癌症。此外，演示文稿可以描述与现有生物学文献分析相关的方法和进展，包括基准测试实验，以使公众更好地理解科学研究报告。总体而言，ISMB 旨在向与会者介绍最新的发展，这将进一步推动计算生物学领域的研究方法和成果。学生和科学家能够返回实验室，在推进自己的研究工作时应用他们所学到的知识。每次 ISMB 会议的科学计划包括原创研究论文的并行演示、最近发表的研究亮点、新兴主题的专题特别会议、技术演示、辅导研讨会、特殊兴趣小组会议以及由学生组织并为学生组织的学生研讨会。例如，在 ISMB 2010 中，共提交了 234 篇原始研究论文，其中 48 篇被选为会议论文集；提交发表论文126篇，其中42篇入选Highlights Track；提交了九项提案，其中四项被选中进行演示，另外两项被邀请参加特别会议。 2010 年会议期间总共提出了 200 多场演讲，预计 2011 年的演讲数量也将与此类似。在所有情况下，提交的内容都会经过严格审查，通常由每个分会委员会的三名成员进行审查，然后再由分会主席批准，以确保呈现尽可能最高的工作质量。会议中代表的具体领域每年都会有所不同，具体取决于研究人员发现最有趣和最具创新性的领域，因此以论文和提案的形式提交。该提案寻求资金帮助学生和初级研究人员参加会议，从而让他们接触到自己领域以及对他们来说可能陌生的领域的最新研究。 公共卫生相关性：相关性生物信息学已成为理解生物系统的重要工具。生物信息学的广泛认可很大程度上是由基因组序列工作推动的，因为实验室科学家认识到，基因组数据在寻求开发新的和改进的疾病治疗和预防方面的有用性在很大程度上取决于人们以电子方式访问和操纵它的能力。生物学家经常将计算工具集成到他们的研究项目中，并根据数据库和其他电子资源中的信息创建大型预测模型。分子生物学智能系统 (ISMB) 系列会议通过展示该领域的最新进展以及揭示未来发现的内容，直接解决这些问题。
