DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The need for dedicated educational short programs in biomedical computing was identified by the Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative at the NIH, which stated an "extraordinary demand for people with good education in both biomedicine and computing" but "only a few cross-disciplinary training programs exist". Twelve years later and after some progress, the situation described in the report is essentially unchanged. The Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute at the University of Utah (www.sci.utah.edu) houses programs that seek to meet the need for tools and education in biomedical computing. The Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing (CIBC, cibc.sci.utah.edu), an NIH funded center is dedicated to creating and freely disseminating software and knowledge that will enable biomedical scientists through computation software that supports a complete image based modeling and simulation pipeline. In a parallel development, the Musculoskeletal Research Laboratories (MRL, mrl.sci.utah.edu) have created under NIH funding the FEBio software suite to carry out patient specific simulations for biomechanical applications. By expanding 1-3 days workshops carried out by the SCI Institute over the past 10 years to a two weeks course, and holding it during the summer, a much deeper and lasting educational impact is possible. The goal of this proposed program is to expand the scope of current CIBC and MRL training to create a dedicated two-week course in the area of image based modeling and simulation applied to bioelectricity and biomechanics, providing a unique opportunity for students with background in mathematics, physics, and computer science to apply computing to biomedical science. The specific aims are to 1. Build on the existing knowledge of the participants in mathematics and physics to create field specific expertise and hands-on experience in bioelectric or biomechanical problems that arise in current biomedical research and clinical practice. 2. With a strong emphasis on practical use cases, provide participants with training in the numerical methods, image analysis, and computational tools necessary to carry out end-to-end, image based, subject specific simulations in bioelectricity or orthopedic biomechanics, using freely available software. 3. By hosting the course in the Intermountain West, facilitate a cohesive and supportive learning environment, attractive and effective for students from underrepresented groups and institutions, whose participation we will support through travel fellowships and access to pre-configured, portable computers. To maximize the impact of this unique curriculum, and for participants unable to attend, Internet based dissemination and media tools will be used to provide lasting access to the course content. Program evaluation during, after, and at regular intervals over the following years will be pursued to continuously determine effectiveness of the program and enhance it.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国国立卫生研究院的生物医学信息科学与技术倡议确定了生物医学计算领域专门教育短期项目的需求，该倡议指出“对在生物医学和计算方面受过良好教育的人员有着非凡的需求”，但是“只有少数跨学科培训方案”。十二年后，经过一些进展，报告中描述的情况基本没有变化。 犹他大学科学计算和成像 (SCI) 研究所 (www.sci.utah.edu) 设有旨在满足生物医学计算工具和教育需求的项目。综合生物医学计算中心（CIBC，cibc.sci.utah.edu）是 NIH 资助的中心，致力于创建和自由传播软件和知识，使生物医学科学家能够通过支持完整的基于图像的建模和模拟管道的计算软件。在并行开发中，肌肉骨骼研究实验室（MRL，mrl.sci.utah.edu）在 NIH 的资助下创建了 FEBio 软件套件，以针对生物力学应用进行患者特定的模拟。 通过将 SCI 研究所过去 10 年举办的 1-3 天的研讨会扩大为两周的课程，并在夏季举办，可能会产生更深入、更持久的教育影响。该计划的目标是扩大当前 CIBC 和 MRL 培训的范围，在生物电和生物力学中基于图像的建模和模拟领域创建为期两周的专门课程，为具有数学背景的学生提供独特的机会、物理学和计算机科学，将计算应用于生物医学。具体目标是： 1. 以参与者现有的数学和物理知识为基础，针对当前生物医学研究和临床实践中出现的生物电或生物力学问题创造特定领域的专业知识和实践经验。 2. 重点强调实际用例，为学员提供数值方法、图像分析和计算工具方面的培训，以自由使用生物电或骨科生物力学中进行端到端、基于图像、特定主题的模拟可用的软件。 3. 通过在 Intermountain West 举办课程，营造一个有凝聚力和支持性的学习环境，对来自代表性不足的群体和机构的学生有吸引力且有效，我们将通过旅行奖学金和使用预先配置的便携式计算机来支持他们的参与。 为了最大限度地发挥这一独特课程的影响，对于无法参加的参与者，将使用基于互联网的传播和媒体工具来提供对课程内容的持久访问。将在接下来的几年中、之后和定期进行计划评估，以不断确定并提高计划的有效性。
