Summer Institute Announcement (http://nbcr.net/si/2006/)

	 

	      The National Biomedical Computation Resource (NBCR) is
pleased to present its first annual Summer Institute to be held on 7-11
August 2006. This training program will provide an overview of
cyberinfrastructure and multiscale modeling approaches, and include
plenary sessions (day 1) and hands-on training sessions using tools
essential for cutting edge biomedical research. NBCR's goal in offering
this Summer Institute is to broaden the impact of these tools and work
closely with the biomedical community in future developments, while
offering significant opportunities for networking among researchers and
participants.

	 

	 

	      The specific topics to be addressed include:

	 

	      * GridSphere portals 

	 

	      * Web services and ontology 

	 

	      * Cluster and grid computing

	 

	      * Computational cardiac electrophysiology and mechanics 

	 

	      * Molecular visualization and virtual screening 

	 

	      * Molecular electrostatics and diffusion

	 

	     Each of these topics represents a parallel track that will
meet half days for four days. Each participant may sign up for up to two
tracks.

	 

	      Who should attend? 

	 

	      The workshop is geared toward graduate students, postdocs
and researchers interested in learning how to use multiscale modeling
tools addressed by this workshop and/or who are interested in
understanding the role of cyberinfrastructure in biomedical research. 

	 

	      Costs:  

	 

	      For individuals who do not need housing, the registration
deadline is July 31st, and the costs are $250 for two tracks, or $200
for one track. For individuals who require housing and meals, the
registration deadline is July 14th, and the cost is $550 (5 nights),
plus $100 for each additional night. 

	 

	      Scholarships: (already awarded for 2006).

	       

	      There will be five scholarships awarded to help defray the
costs of attending the meeting. Information and application forms can be
found on our website. Awardees are required to present a poster during
the poster sessions.

	      NBCR is a resource for the biomedical community. Our
mission is to conduct, catalyze, and enable biomedical research by
harnessing, developing, and deploying forefront computational,
information and grid technologies. We are consisted of researchers from
the University of California, San Diego, including the San Diego
Supercomputer Center (SDSC), the California Institute for
Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), the Center for
Research in Biological Systems (CRBS), The Scripps Research Institute
(TSRI), and Washington University in St. Louis. NBCR is supported by the
P41 RR08605 grant from the National Center for Research Resources
(NCRR), National Institutes of Health (NIH). More information about NBCR
may be found at http://nbcr.net <http://nbcr.net/> .
