The U.S. NSF has provided funding for a Pan-American Advanced Studies Institute focused on bioinformatics, which is being organized under the auspices of the REDBIO Foundation and the University of Georgia. The PASI, to be held in Montevideo, Uruguay Feb. 9-20, 2004, will support 15 participants (advanced graduate students, post-docs and early career scientists) from the U.S. and an additional 15 participants from across Latin America. In addition to furthering the education of participants with regard to some of the latest opportunities and techniques in bioinformatics, we hope that this workshop will become the catalyst for development of a Pan-American Bioinformatics network that will enhance opportunities, interactions and collaborations between genomic and bioinformatics labs across the Americas.
Whether their interests are primarily animal, vegetable, or microbial, we are looking participants who are not only excellent in their own research areas, but are also interested in reaching out to establish international collaborations as part of their career goals. Each participant will be expected to make a brief presentation on his or her own work, and may opt to contribute a paper to a Proceedings that will be produced after the workshop. Meeting contributions will all be in English, and all workshop participants are expected to be fluent in English. However, participants may find some knowledge of Spanish helpful during their free time in Montevideo.
Additional information and application forms for the workshop are available at the workshop website (http://www.zonamerica.org/pasi2004/). Applications will be accepted through Dec. 31. Participants selected for the workshop will be notified no later than Jan. 9.
