This grant provides travel and expenses for several invited scientists and scholars to present papers at the First World Congress of Biomechanics, in San Diego, Friday, August 31. These papers will form the core of a mini-symposium on "Ethical Issues in Bioengineering," and cover topics such as: allocation of scarce resources, clinical trials of new devices and implants, conflict of interest, and human and animal experimentation. Bioengineers face medical ethics problems, but they are not often exposed to training in the principles and issues of biomedical ethics. Nor is much of the material in this area focused in a way that addresses their concerns directly. These speakers will provide an important initial resource to develop this field. The talks will be published in a special issue of the journal Annals of Biomedical Engineering. The proposal focuses on an important area; the principal investigator and invited speakers are very well qualified; the modest funds that are requested should stimulate initial attention to ethical issues for bioengineering and, through publication, provide a long-term resource for the field. Support is highly recommended.

这项资助为受邀参加8月31日星期五在圣地亚哥举行的第一届世界生物力学大会的几位科学家和学者提供了旅费和费用。这些论文将构成“生物工程伦理问题”小型研讨会的核心，涵盖的主题包括：稀缺资源的分配、新设备和植入物的临床试验、利益冲突以及人类和动物实验。生物工程师面临着医学伦理问题，但他们并不经常接受有关生物医学伦理原则和问题的培训。这一领域的许多材料也没有以直接解决他们关切的方式集中在一起。这些演讲者将为这一领域的发展提供重要的初始资源。这些谈话将发表在《生物医学工程年鉴》的特刊上。该提案侧重于一个重要领域；首席研究员和特邀演讲者都是非常合格的；所要求的少量资金应该会激发对生物工程伦理问题的初步关注，并通过出版物为该领域提供长期资源。强烈建议提供支持。
