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.

Comment
Realy am very happy for that new issue with practice life of medicine because am clinician and the patient actually need this multidisciplinary for the good benefit and good prognosis .prof.Reda Elbadawy ,Hepatology and Gastroenterology, Benha. University, Egypt.
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.
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?
