This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The goal of this project is to provide American student participants with a global perspective and opportunities for professional growth through international cooperative research training, networking and mentoring in the BioMEMS research field. This project will provide high quality educational and research experiences for 12 graduate and undergraduate students at Florida International University through active research participation in collaboration with the Kawarada research team at Waseda University in Japan. Each student will spend three months in summer to work with the Kawarada research group. Typical research topics include functionalization of carbon-based surfaces, diamond-based DNA sensors, and carbon-based bio-fuel cells. The knowledge that will result from this project is critically needed for breakthroughs required for the development of carbon based BioMEMS for energy and biological applications. This project will foster interdisciplinary interactions with investigators and students at all levels. Research results obtained from this project will be presented at various conferences and published in various journals. This project will broaden the participation and impact the recruitment of underrepresented groups, especially women and Hispanic students.

该奖项由《2009年美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)资助。该项目的目标是通过生物微机械研究领域的国际合作研究培训、网络和指导，为美国学生参与者提供全球视野和专业成长机会。该项目将通过与日本早稻田大学的川田研究团队合作，积极参与研究，为佛罗里达国际大学的12名研究生和本科生提供高质量的教育和研究经验。每个学生将在夏天花三个月的时间在卡瓦拉达研究小组工作。典型的研究课题包括碳基表面的功能化、钻石基DNA传感器和碳基生物燃料电池。这一项目所产生的知识对于开发用于能源和生物应用的碳基生物微机械系统所需的突破是至关重要的。该项目将促进与各级研究人员和学生的跨学科互动。从该项目获得的研究成果将在各种会议上发表，并在各种期刊上发表。该项目将扩大参与范围，并对招收任职人数不足的群体产生影响，特别是妇女和西班牙裔学生。
