© 2006 International Society for Computational Biology. | Help Send a Student to ISMB The International Society for Computational Biology seeks your help to enable students and junior researchers to attend the 2006 conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB). ISMB is the world’s largest and most established non-profit scientific conference focused on current research in bioinformatics and computational biology. ISMB 2006 will be held August 6-10 in Fortaleza, Brazil, and promises to be one of the most scientifically exciting conferences to date, including:
ISMB is the annual meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology, and as such it is the primary vehicle for achieving our mission of advancing the scientific understanding of living systems through computation. Being able to support the needs of students and junior researchers at this resource-limited stage of their careers is vital to the future of the life sciences. Although ISCB secures conference fellowship grant funding from U.S. government agencies, the need for funds far outweighs our resources, and each year we are only able to support less than one half of all eligible student and junior researcher applicants (eligibility restricted to those presenting a paper or poster at the conference). Therefore, we are reaching out to our community of ISCB members, past ISMB attendees, and other friends of the Society to request your help. Please consider making a charitable donation to ISCB that can be applied directly to the ISMB travel fellowship fund, or to the Society’s general resources fund, enabling us to provide fellowships to other conferences such as ECCB, PSB, RECOMB, as well as fund other areas of need that arise throughout the year. As a registered 501(c)(3) charity in the United States, all donations are IRS tax deductible. You or your
company/institution can play a key role in guiding the growth of
bioinformatics and computational biology as a donor to ISCB. I thank
you for your consideration and generosity. Donation
