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）：生物医学计算中专门的教育简短计划的需求是由NIH的生物医学信息科学技术计划确定的，该计划称，该计划“对生物医学和计算中具有良好教育的人的非凡需求”，但“仅存在一些跨学科培训计划”。十二年后，经过一些进展，报告中描述的情况基本不变。 犹他大学（www.sci.utah.edu）的科学计算与成像学院（SCI）研究所设有计划，旨在满足生物医学计算中对工具和教育的需求。 NIH资助的中心致力于创建和自由传播软件和知识，将通过支持完整的基于图像基于图像的建模和仿真管道来促进生物医学科学家。在平行的发展中，肌肉骨骼研究实验室（MRL，MRL.SCI.UTAH.EDU）在NIH资助Febio软件套件的基础上创建了，以进行特定于患者的生物力学应用模拟。 通过扩大SCI研究所在过去10年中进行的1-3天的研讨会，并在夏季举行的课程中，可以进行更深入和持久的教育影响。该建议计划的目的是扩大当前CIBC和MRL培训的范围，以在基于图像的建模和模拟领域创建专门的为期两周的课程，该课程适用于生物电力和生物力学，为具有数学，物理学和计算机科学背景的学生提供了独特的机会，以将计算计算用于生物医学科学。具体的目的是1。基于数学和物理学参与者的现有知识，以创建现场特定的专业知识和动手实践经验，这些经验是在当前的生物医学研究和临床实践中出现的生物电力或生物力学问题。 2。强烈重视实际用例，为参与者提供了使用免费可用的软件，在生物电性或骨科生物力学中进行端到端，基于图像的，基于图像的，基于图像的，特定主题的模拟所需的培训。 3。通过在West Intermountain West举办课程，促进了一个有凝聚力和支持性的学习环境，对来自代表性不足的团体和机构的学生有吸引力和有效，我们将通过旅行奖学金和获得预先配置的便携式计算机来支持他们的参与。 为了最大程度地提高此独特的课程的影响，对于无法参加的参与者，将使用基于Internet的传播和媒体工具来提供对课程内容的持久访问。在接下来的几年中，定期和定期间隔期间的计划评估将不断确定程序的有效性并增强该程序的有效性。
