The Institute is devoted to the mathematical biosciences, which includes all areas of research in bioscience where participation of the mathematical sciences will lead to important progress. MBI offers a vigorous program of research and education, and fosters the growth of an international community of researchers in mathematical biology. MBI MISSION STATEMENT The mission of MBI is: • To foster innovation in the application of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods in the resolution of significant problems in the biosciences; • To foster the development of new areas in the mathematical sciences motivated by important questions in the biosciences; • To engage mathematical and biological scientists in these pursuits; and • To expand the community of scholars in mathematical biosciences through education, training, and support of students and researchers. To support this mission, MBI programs are designed to reinforce and build upon existing research efforts in the mathematical biosciences, and to inspire and accelerate the expansion of the community and its intellectual growth. These include emphasis year programs, current topic workshops, education programs, and research projects. The administrative and governance structure of the MBI are designed to support the mission of the Institute. MBI VISION STATEMENT The vision of the Mathematical Biosciences Institute is: • To be a national center for the Mathematical Biology community; a place where all researchers with connections to mathematical biology seek to participate. • To be the premier center for postdoctoral training in mathematical biology. • To be the central hub that motivates and facilitates the mathematical sciences and the life sciences communities to create, share, and respond to research and educational opportunities MBI DIVERSITY STATEMENT The MBI diversity mission is to help shape the mathematical biology community in a way that represents the diversity of our society. Historically, women, African-Americans, Hispanics, Native American, and Alaskan Natives have been underrepresented in the mathematical biology community. MBI will work at two levels. First, it is MBI policy that each of its programs should actively seek diversity among its participants in gender and ethnicity. Second, MBI will sponsor activities that promote mathematical biology and its opportunities in the academic community. To be most effective, these activities should reach the undergraduate and pre-college levels, and contribute to increasing the diversity of future mathematical biologists. The Diversity Committee 2 helps MBI to carry out this mission. Specifically, MBI will build and maintain diversity by the following: • Boards and Advisors: Ensure representation of underrepresented groups among the Directors, the Board of Trustees, the Scientific Advisory Committee, and the Local Scientific Advisory Committee • Science Workshops and Emphasis Programs: Include members of underrepresented groups as members of emphasis year and workshop organizing committees and ensure broad representation among workshop participants. • Training of Younger Scientists: Ensure broad representation among postdoctoral fellows and build exposure of younger scientists to mathematical biology. • Awareness Workshops: Periodically host workshops on Opportunities in Mathematical Biology for Underrepresented Groups The first of these workshops occurred in 2007. In addition, MBI pursues the following strategies: • Participate in meetings of minority scientists, such as the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP), to provide information about MBI, recruit participants to MBI activities, and inform young scientists about opportunities in mathematical biology. • Build relations with academic institutions having strong minority enrollments. • Advertise MBI programs both broadly and to targeted audiences, including meetings of mathematical biology societies and minority-serving science societies. • Evaluate the implementation of the MBI diversity plan annually. SUMMARY OF MBI PROGRAMS IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2017-2018 MBI hosted two Emphasis Semester programs in 2017-2018: the autumn 2017 Emphasis Semester was on Control in Biology and Medicine and the spring 2018 semester was on Infectious Diseases: Data, Modeling, Decisions. Autumn 2017 Emphasis Semester: Control in Biology and Medicine The Organizing Committee for the Autumn 2017 Semester consisted of German Enciso (Mathematics, UC Irvine), Pablo Iglesias (Electrical & Computer Engineering, Johns Hopkins University), Jeff Moehlis (Mechanical Engineering, UC Santa Barbara), Mette Olufsen (Mathematics, NC State), Peter Thomas (Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics, Case Western Reserve) The traditional boundaries between mathematics, engineering, and the life sciences are rapidly blurring

  • 2016 High-Risk, High-Reward Research Symposium | 1
    2016 High-Risk, High-Reward Research Symposium | 1 Program Description The NIH Common Fund, in the Office of the Director, supports programs that address key roadblocks in biomedical research impeding basic scientific discovery and its translation into improved human health. Common Fund programs are designed to have broad impact, be catalytic, and tackle challenges that no other entity, including individual NIH Institutes, will be likely or able to do. Currently, 27 different Common Fund programs span the broad mission of NIH. More information is available at commonfund.nih.gov. The NIH Common Fund’s High-Risk, High-Reward Research Program was created to accelerate the pace of biomedical discoveries by supporting exceptionally creative scientists who have highly innovative research ideas with unusually broad impact. Four initiatives within this program—the NIH Director’s Pioneer, New Innovator, Transformative Research, and Early Independence Awards—serve distinct purposes in achieving this goal. Pioneer Award: Supports individual scientists of exceptional creativity at any career stage who propose bold approaches to address major challenges in biomedical and behavioral research. New Innovator Award: Supports unusually creative early career stage investigators who have highly innovative research ideas with the potential for broad impact. Transformative Research Award: Supports exceptionally innovative and/or unconventional research projects that have the potential to create or overturn fundamental paradigms. The initiative permits multiple principal investigators and flexible budgets. Early Independence Award: Provides a mechanism for outstanding early career scientists to move rapidly into independent research positions, bypassing the traditional postdoctoral training period. 2016 High-Risk, High-Reward Research Symposium | 1 2 | 2016 High-Risk, High-Reward Research Symposium Agenda Monday, December 5, 2016 9:00 a.m.
