The International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI) is an annual scientific symposium for research on the computational and algorithmic aspects of biological/biomedical imaging, representing a joint initiative of 2 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) technical societies. In conjunction with IEEE's overall goal to advance society by advancing technology, biomedical imaging refers to imaging technology, data, and analyses that encompass molecular imaging to whole-body imaging in both clinical and research settings. Most importantly, ISBI's goal centers on knowledge transfer spanning these various imaging communities, which ultimately reflects an integrative approach to biomedical imaging that is not present at other biomedical imaging conferences. Accordingly, ISBI's (and IEEE's) goals are particularly well suited to the mission of NIBIB, which represents advancing biomedical technologies and integrating physical with natural sciences to enhance understanding of human health and disease/prevention: In other words, the application of and research gained from advancements of biomedical technology (as presented at ISBI) is at the heart of ISBI's, NIBIB's, and NIH's mission. Here, we request financial support to fund travel awards for US-based research trainees from underrepresented backgrounds to present their research at ISBI's 2023 meeting in Cartagena, Colombia (i.e., the first time that ISBI will meet in Latin America). Typically, budgets of NIH grants are underfunded for conference travel, as the ever-rising costs of registration, lodging, and travel pose difficulties for proper budget allocation; notably, such financial limitations are especially burdensome for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. Accordingly, awarding $1000 travel grants to research trainees from underrepresented backgrounds will significantly offset costs of attendance. In doing so, ISBI 2023 will offer opportunities for these trainees to attend oral and poster presentations, tutorials, plenary talks, challenges, and special sessions, as well as ISBI's 4th Clinical Day (i.e., a day-long event designed to promote exchange of emerging biomedical-imaging knowledge in the clinical fields) and its 1st ever Industrial Day (i.e., another day- long event featuring presentations by industry leaders about the field's latest products, “success stories” of medical-imaging startups, and a startup pitch competition). Overall, ISBI's innovative structure and diverse breadth of attendees offer several opportunities for travel-supported research trainees to expand their collaborative networks, seek job opportunities, and advance their research programs. As applicants will be asked, as part of their travel-grant applications, to describe (1) their understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the research setting, (2) how their lived experiences have shaped their research careers, and (3) how they themselves have personally helped foster a sense of belonging for those around them in the research environment, we believe that funding of our proposal will allow a diverse group of research trainees from underrepresented backgrounds to attend, network, and present their work at ISBI 2023.

国际生物医学成像研讨会 (ISBI) 是一年一度的生物医学成像研究科学研讨会 生物/生物医学成像的计算和算法方面，代表 2 的联合倡议 电气和电子工程师协会 (IEEE) 技术协会 与 IEEE 的整体联合。 以通过先进技术推动社会发展为目标，生物医学成像是指成像技术、数据和 分析涵盖临床和研究环境中的分子成像到全身成像。 重要的是，ISBI 的目标集中在跨这些不同成像社区的知识转移，这 最终，生物医学成像的综合方法不存在反映在其他生物医学领域 因此，ISBI（和 IEEE）的目标特别适合其使命。 NIBIB，代表新兴生物医学技术，将物理与自然科学相结合， 增强对人类健康和疾病/预防的了解：换句话说，应用和 从生物医学技术进步中获得的研究（如 ISBI 上介绍的）是 ISBI 的核心， NIBIB 和 NIH 的使命在此，我们请求财政支持，为美国研究提供旅行奖励。 来自代表性不足背景的学员将在 ISBI 2023 年卡塔赫纳会议上展示他们的研究成果， 哥伦比亚（即 ISBI 首次在拉丁美洲举行会议） 通常，NIH 拨款的预算是 会议差旅资金不足，因​​为注册、住宿和差旅费用不断上涨造成困难 对于适当的分配预算；值得注意的是，这种财务限制对于来自以下国家的个人来说尤其是负担： 因此，向研究实习生提供 1000 美元的旅费补助。 代表性不足的背景将大大抵消出席费用，ISBI 2023 将提供这一点。 这些学员有机会参加口头和海报演示、教程、全体会议、挑战和 特别会议，以及 ISBI 的第四个临床日（即旨在促进交流的为期一天的活动） 临床中新兴的生物医学成像知识）及其第一个工业日（即另一天- 长活动，由行业领导者介绍该领域的最新产品、“成功案例” 总体而言，ISBI 的结构创新且多元化。 与会者的广泛性为旅行支持的研究实习生提供了多种扩大他们的机会 合作网络，寻找工作机会，并推进他们的研究项目。 作为旅行补助金申请的一部分，要求描述 (1) 他们对多样性、公平性和 融入研究环境，(2) 他们的生活经历如何塑造他们的研究生涯，以及 (3) 他们自己如何亲自帮助周围的人培养归属感 研究环境，我们相信我们提案的资助将允许多元化的研究实习生群体 来自代表性不足的背景人士参加 ISBI 2023，建立联系并展示他们的作品。
