Bio- and Nano-mechanics and their applications are playing an increasingly important role in the growth of the global economy. Based on the interplay between bio- and nano-mechanics, the new generation of bio materials has unique structure and properties, and could advance both science and engineering. To promote the international collaboration among researchers, educators, students and practicing engineers, the objective of this project is to organize the 2nd US-China NSF Workshop and Summer Institute of Bio- and Nano-Mechanics and Applications (UCWSI2009), to continuously exchange the research and educational advances as well as technological innovations in this rapidly evolving area, and to identify the future tasks. To meet the urgent need for the US students (who have had no exposure to Asian culture) to get the real experience and to leverage the financial support from the local organizing committee, the UCWSI2009 will be held at Dalian University of Technology in China in summer 2009. The UCWSI2009 consists of a summer institute and workshop with sessions in different areas of bio and nano mechanics and materials. In the summer institute, comprehensive lectures including lab visits will be delivered to young faculty and students by the leading experts in the field, while active researchers will exchange recent results in the workshop.The UCWSI2009 could promote the international collaboration in research, education and development, and make an immediate contribution to the progress of nano and bio science and engineering by disseminating the new findings and integrating different team efforts among active researchers, educators, students and practicing engineers. A special effort will be made to invite participants from the groups underrepresented in science and engineering. Thus, the UCWSI2009 would have an international impact on developing complementary approaches that are mutually beneficial, and accessible to the whole community.This award is co-funded by OISE.

生物和纳米力学及其应用在全球经济增长中发挥着越来越重要的作用。 基于生物力学和纳米力学的相互作用，新一代生物材料具有独特的结构和性能，可以促进科学和工程的发展。为了促进研究人员、教育工作者、学生和实践工程师之间的国际合作，本项目的目标是组织第二届中美国家科学基金会研讨会和生物和纳米力学及应用暑期研究所（UCWSI2009），不断交流这一快速发展的领域的研究和教育进展以及技术创新，并确定未来的任务。为了满足美国学生（他们没有接触过亚洲文化）获得真实的体验的迫切需要，并利用当地组委会的财政支持，UCWSI2009将于2009年夏天在中国大连理工大学举行。UCWSI2009包括一个夏季研究所和研讨会，在生物和纳米力学和材料的不同领域的会议。在暑期学院，该领域的顶尖专家将为年轻的教师和学生提供包括实验室参观在内的综合讲座，而活跃的研究人员将在研讨会上交流最新成果。UCWSI2009可以促进研究，教育和发展的国际合作，并通过传播新发现和整合活跃研究人员之间的不同团队努力，为纳米和生物科学与工程的进步做出直接贡献，教育工作者、学生和实践工程师。将作出特别努力，邀请科学和工程专业代表人数不足的群体的与会者。因此，UCWSI2009将对开发互补方法产生国际影响，这些方法是互利的，并且可以为整个社区所用。
