NITRC Conferences, Workshops and Meetings Forum: open-discussion

NCBC Showcase Nov 8 & 9, 2012

David Kennedy — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 17:58:56 GMT

The NIH Project Team for the NIH Common Fund National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) calls your attention to a meeting showcasing the NCBC Centers on November 8-9 at NIH Natcher Conference Center. The meeting will be opened by Dr. Francis Collins. In addition Dr. James Anderson will present opening remarks about the NIH Common Fund. The registration site is now open at this URL:
http://meetings.nigms.nih.gov/meetings/ncbc/

Please share this information with colleagues who may be interested in attending.

Program Summary: The National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBCs) are intended to be part of the national infrastructure in Biomedical Informatics and Computational Biology. The consortium portal is http://www.ncbcs.org. There are eight Centers that cover biophysical modeling, biomedical ontologies, information integration, tools for gene-phenotype and disease analysis, systems biology, image analysis, and health information modeling and analysis. The centers create innovative software programs and other tools that enable the biomedical community to integrate, analyze, model, simulate, and share data on human health and disease. Each Center has Cores that are focused on (i) biomedical computational science and (ii) driving biological projects (DBPs) with the intent to drive the interaction between computational and biomedical computational science. There are numerous efforts in education and training that emanate from the Centers and there is an annual all hands meeting. In addition to the Centers, the NIH and other government agencies have a number of funding announcements that are summarized in the Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative (BISTI) Funding Page. This also includes a program for Collaborations with National Centers for Biomedical Computing. Under the collaborations program, over the course of the program 225 applications for funding have been reviewed at NIH and 33 have been awarded.

This meeting is the culmination of the Year of Outreach which has so far included a special session at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) meeting 2012 in Long Beach on July 16 that focused on NCBC accomplishments. In addition, a set of special articles was published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA).

The main goal of the meeting is to showcase not only the research, training, and outreach in biocomputational science but also highlight the impact that the program has on other researchers and users. The impact of this meeting is expected to be the lasting connections that are built up between programs in biomedical computing and computational biology at NIH.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide travel funds for this meeting. The meeting will not be videocast.

2011 INCF Neuroinformatics Congress

David Kennedy — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 14:11:10 GMT

The INCF Congress of Neuroinformatics will be held from September 4th to 6th at the Seaport Hotel in Boston, MA. They are currently collecting abstracts for poster presentations and computer demos.

The annual INCF Neuroinformatics Congress provides a meeting place for researchers in all fields related to neuroinformatics, including data- and knowledge-bases of the nervous system from molecular to behavioral levels; tools for the acquisition, analysis, and visualization of nervous system data; and theoretical, computational, and simulation environments for modeling the brain.

There is a current call for abstracts, deadline *April 19th, 2011*.

Submission Information: The abstract format will be the same as in previous years, i.e. maximum one page (A4 or US letter).
