This award provides funding for a joint research workshop on Bio-inspired Sensing and Actuation Technologies (BISAT) to be held in Shanghai, China, November 8-12, 2010. Its objectives include promotion of research collaboration between researchers in the two countries and particularly engagement of researchers from both the life sciences and engineering to stimulate cross-disciplinary as well as transnational collaborations. The program, which will involve about 40 participants including some advanced students and young researchers, will focus on the formulation of a vision for new approaches to BISAT and its opportunities. The meeting is intended to promote linkages between the research communities in the two countries. The Chinese participation will be supported by the National Science Foundation of China. The workshop will engage leading researchers from two domains of science from the two countries to produce a vision and a roadmap for future interdisciplinary research efforts in BISAT. Both countries have identified this area as a high priority for development because of the wide range of possible applications. It is expected that the resulting cross-fertilization will be quite productive.In addition to addressing numerous research issues in the field, the workshop will discuss practical applications of new bio-inspired sensing and actuation technologies to critical areas of societal concern such as infrastructure health and medical systems. Also, participation of students in the workshop will have an educational impact. The meeting will bring together participants from both countries to establish long-term collaborative relationships.

该奖项为将于2010年11月8日至12日在上海中国举办的生物灵感传感和驱动技术(BISAT)联合研究研讨会提供资金。其目标包括促进两国研究人员之间的研究合作，特别是促进生命科学和工程学研究人员的参与，以促进跨学科和跨国合作。该项目将有大约40名参与者参与，其中包括一些高级学生和年轻的研究人员，重点是为BISAT及其机会制定新方法的愿景。这次会议旨在促进两国研究界之间的联系。中方的参与将得到中国国家科学基金的支持。研讨会将邀请来自两国两个科学领域的领先研究人员参与，为比萨特未来的跨学科研究工作制定愿景和路线图。由于可能的应用范围广泛，两国都将这一领域确定为高度优先发展的领域。预计由此产生的交叉受精将相当有成效。除了解决该领域的众多研究问题外，研讨会还将讨论新的生物启发传感和驱动技术在社会关注的关键领域的实际应用，如基础设施、卫生和医疗系统。此外，学生参与工作坊也将产生教育影响。这次会议将使两国与会者汇聚一堂，建立长期合作关系。
