NSF Travel Awards

Limited travel reimbursement funds to defray costs of attending the 2024 IMAG/MSM meeting are available for those who have a financial need. The goal of this travel award is to support early career researchers and researchers from underrepresented groups in STEM (see NSF STEM Workforce Report); however, all groups are welcome to request this support as needed. 

Travel awards will be issued for up to $1200 each in the form of a reimbursement, so awardees will be required to initially pay for their own travel. Awardees will be announced at the meeting.

I very much like the concept of using multi-scale model to integrate multi-scale data. But is that going to cause more challenges to integrate the DT into clinical practice? Access to multi-scale data for the individual patient might be challenging due to the large amount of exams they need to go through and the cost. How big a problem do you think that is for the practice?

Really like this idea of a cross-functional group as these differences are very important. Another attendee who has done extensive work from his Argonne labs days is my colleague, Stephan Wegerich (Prolaio). He would be a fantastic resource for such a x-functional group so I'll throw him in the ring...or under the bus as the case may be.
