Registration:
Please register here. The workshop travel funding support application is in the registration form. Travel funding is contingent on funding from the US Army Research Office.
Workshop Travel Funding Support:
We will not be able to offer travel support to attend the workshop for this year. However, we still plan on offering the workshop for interested participants and those who will attend SMB.
We are particularly thankful for those applicants who applied early and expressed interest in the program already, and we hope you can still attend.
Workshop Overview:
Mathematics has become a key technology for research life sciences and biomedicine. As these fields continue to become ever more data-rich, the workforce of mathematical modelers will need to expand considerably to keep pace with the demand for modelers and data scientists in academia, industry, and government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense. Academic research in this field plays an important role for two reasons. First, it is a major contributor to basic research in biology and biomedicine. Second, it is the most important contributor to the mathematical biology workforce. To ensure that all parts of society can contribute in both ways, it is crucial that all faculty have access to research funding and research support for their students. The proposed workshop is intended to help faculty successfully compete for research grants from the ARO Biomathematics Program to perform cutting-edge research and use it to engage and mentor students at their institutions.
Workshop flyer coming soon.
Workshop Goals:
- Provide a hands-on introduction to the application process for research funding from the ARO Biomathematics Program, and other similar programs to faculty conducting research in biomathematics at small institutions that lack extensive administrative support for grants administration.
- Help pair researchers who are currently funded by the Biomathematics program with potential applicants to form mentor/mentee teams for proposal preparation and subsequent grant-funded research.
