PROPOSAL NO.: 0234082PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Martine LaBergeINSTITUTION NAME: Clemson UniversityTITLE: NIH-NSF BBSI in Biomaterials Science and EngineeringABSTRACTThe Departments of Bioengineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Genetics and Biochemistry, and the School of Nursing at Clemson University in collaboration with the Department of Surgery at the Greenville Hospital System will host a NIH-NSF Bioengineering Summer Institute in Biomaterials Science and Engineering. This multidisciplinary Institute targets undergraduate students, who have completed their sophomore year, and graduate students, within the first two years of entry into their graduate education program, majoring in the life and applied sciences, nursing, and engineering. The major goal of this Institute is to offer a unique didactic experience where students will learn the basic principles necessary for the understanding of medical device development, clinical applications, and failure assessment, and will apply these principles in state-of-the-art research projects. Over a period of ten weeks, this unique interdisciplinary program will integrate education and research in the field of biomaterials and medical device design from concept to clinical applications, with a focus on cardiovascular and orthopaedic applications. A follow-up course will focus on the clinical aspects of biomaterials and medical devices, failure assessment of implants for cardiovascular and orthopaedic applications, tissue engineered substitutes and biotechnology, and biomaterials implantology.Research projects will be conducted in the Laboratory of Vascular Research, the Cardiovascular Implant Research Laboratory, the Tissue Engineering Laboratory, the Laboratory of Polymeric Bearing Modeling, the Nanoscale Biointerfaces Laboratory, and the Laboratory of Biomedical Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy at Clemson University. A national search will be conducted to recruit participants in the Institute with a focus on cultural and academic diversity. Selection will be based on grade point average, a statement of career plans, research interests, and benefits to be realized by the participation in the Institute, as well as recommendation letters from two advisors or instructors. Students will be encouraged to participate in the Institute for up to two consecutive summer programs; acceptance for a second summer will be based on performance during the first summer and recommendation by the mentoring team. Following their first summer, students can apply for stipend support to participate in research projects at their home institutions during the academic year; funds will be available on a competitive basis. Funding will be awarded for collaborative research between a junior faculty in the Institute and the faculty advisor of the student at the home institution.

提案编号： 0234082委托人：Martine LaBerge机构名称：克莱姆森大学名称：美国国立卫生研究院-国家科学基金会生物材料科学与工程BBSI摘要生物工程系、物理与天文系、遗传与生物化学系，和克莱姆森大学护理学院与格林维尔医院系统外科合作，将主办一个国家卫生研究院-NSF生物工程暑期研究所生物材料科学与工程。这个多学科研究所的目标是本科生，谁已经完成了他们的大二，和研究生，在进入他们的研究生教育计划的前两年，主修生命和应用科学，护理和工程。该研究所的主要目标是提供一个独特的教学经验，学生将学习必要的医疗器械开发，临床应用和故障评估的理解的基本原则，并将这些原则应用于国家的最先进的研究项目。在为期十周的时间里，这个独特的跨学科项目将整合生物材料和医疗器械设计领域的教育和研究，从概念到临床应用，重点是心血管和骨科应用。后续课程将侧重于生物材料和医疗器械的临床方面，心血管和骨科应用植入物的失效评估，组织工程替代品和生物技术，以及生物材料植入学。研究项目将在血管研究实验室，心血管植入物研究实验室，组织工程实验室，聚合物轴承建模实验室，纳米生物界面实验室，以及克莱姆森大学的生物医学光学成像和光谱实验室。将在全国范围内寻找研究所的参与者，重点是文化和学术多样性。选择将基于平均成绩，职业计划，研究兴趣和参与研究所所实现的利益的声明，以及两位顾问或导师的推荐信。将鼓励学生参加研究所最多连续两个夏季课程;第二个夏季的接受将基于第一个夏季的表现和指导团队的建议。在第一个夏天之后，学生可以申请助学金支持，以便在学年期间参加家乡机构的研究项目;资金将在竞争的基础上提供。资金将被授予研究所的初级教师和学生在家庭机构的教师顾问之间的合作研究。
