9706812 Galletti Partial support is requested for the International Society for Artificial Organs conference to be held June 29-July 1, 1997 in Providence, RI. Funding from the Foundation would be used for travel and conference fee support for up to ten graduate students. The meeting is expected to help the U.S. meet new challenges in the development of artificial internal organs, viz. The need to establish a strong engineering design basis for devices expected to perform for increasingly longer periods of time. The need to sustain bioengineering innovation in the U.S. academic community and to transfer that knowledge to American industry for R & D related to medical devices. The need to consider simultaneously technological, economic and ethical issues in the distribution of health care resources. The need to attract women and under-represented minorities to a field which already employs a large number of bioengineering graduates. It is expected that new innovative and proactive interactions will develop among the groups participating in the meeting. The young scientists to be supported by NSF funds will have an excellent opportunity themselves to engage in such interactions; a special session is planned wherein the students can meet with their peers. Abstracts of presentations at the meeting are to published in an Abstract Volume that will constitute a regular issue of Artificial Organs, the official journal of the International Society for Artificial Organs.

9706812请求为将于1997年6月29日至7月1日在里约热内卢的普罗维登斯举行的国际人工器官学会会议提供部分支持。基金会的资金将用于最多10名研究生的旅费和会议费支持。预计这次会议将帮助美国应对人造内脏发展的新挑战，即。需要为预期运行时间越来越长的设备建立强大的工程设计基础。需要在美国学术界保持生物工程创新，并将这些知识转移到美国工业，用于与医疗器械相关的研发。在分配卫生保健资源时需要同时考虑技术、经济和伦理问题。需要吸引妇女和代表性不足的少数群体进入一个已经雇用了大量生物工程毕业生的领域。预计将在参加会议的各团体之间发展新的创新和积极主动的互动。将得到NSF基金资助的年轻科学家将有一个很好的机会参与到这种互动中；计划举行一次特别的会议，学生们可以在其中与他们的同行见面。会议上的发言摘要将以摘要卷的形式发表，这将成为国际人工器官学会的官方期刊《人工器官》的常刊。
