This award provides support for a three year continuing award, a renewal of the NIBIB-NSF Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institutes (BBSI) Program at Pennsylvania State University, entitled, BBSI-Penn State Biomaterials and Bionanotechnology Summer Institute (PSU-BBSI), under the direction of Dr. Peter J. Butler. The Institute will continue to host a ten week summer program for 15 undergraduate and first year graduate students for a total of 45 students throughout the three year duration of the program. Intellectual Merit: PSU-BBSI scholars will engage in two-summers of intensive didactic exercises and hands-on research and develop proficiency in the underlying concepts and practice of cellular and molecular engineering, microscopy, and computational methods in bioengineering.Broader Impact: Recruitment of students from science, math and engineering will enable the PSU-BBSI to increase intellectual diversity in bioengineering. Through targeted recruiting and the historical tendency of biology and bioengineering to draw more women and underrepresented minorities than other science and engineering disciplines, the Institute will increase the participation of underrepresented groups in quantitative biology. This program is being co-funded by the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS)/Division of Chemistry (CHE), the MPS/Division of Materials Research (DMR), the MPS/Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA), the Directorate for Engineering (ENG)/Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB).

该奖项为为期三年的连续奖项提供支持，该奖项是宾夕法尼亚州立大学NIBIB-NSF生物工程和生物信息学暑期研究所（BBSI）项目的延续，名为BBSI-Penn State Biomaterials and Bionatechnology Summer Institute（PSU-BBSI），由Peter J. Butler博士指导。 该研究所将继续为15名本科生和一年级研究生举办为期10周的暑期课程，在整个三年的课程期间共有45名学生。 智力优势：PSU-BBSI学者将参与两个夏天的密集教学练习和动手研究，并在生物工程中的细胞和分子工程，显微镜和计算方法的基本概念和实践中发展熟练程度。更广泛的影响：从科学，数学和工程学生的招聘将使PSU-BBSI增加生物工程的智力多样性。 通过有针对性的招聘，以及生物学和生物工程比其他科学和工程学科吸引更多妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的历史趋势，研究所将增加代表性不足的群体对定量生物学的参与。 该计划由数学和物理科学理事会（MPS）/化学部（CHE），MPS/材料研究部（DMR），MPS/多学科活动办公室（OMA），工程理事会（ENG）/工程教育和中心部（EEC）以及美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）/国家生物医学成像和生物工程研究所（NIBIB）共同资助。
