ORG：克莱姆森大学标题：2013年生物磁粒子前沿旅游奖学金智力价值：本提案寻求支持研究生，博士后和教师参加生物磁粒子前沿III研讨会，6月2-4日，2013。这将是一个为期三天的研讨会，重点是磁性载流子的表征和控制。研讨会将涵盖以下主题：(a)生物医学成像和传感，(b)磁分离，(c)药物输送，热疗和生物医学应用。此外，还将有一个单独的学生会议，由来自学术界、工业界和政府的专家组成，讨论职业发展。提案中提出了结构良好的议程，并为每一届会议安排了适当的首席发言人。这是一个横切主题，受益于科学、工程和医学领域的投入，研讨会旨在促进所有这些社区代表之间有意义的讨论。更广泛的影响：预计在药物输送、纳米颗粒介导的治疗和医学成像领域的科学和技术方面将产生更广泛的影响。为支持研究生、博士后研究人员和年轻教师提供四个1000美元的旅行奖励。获奖者将根据提交的演讲摘要和感知到的需求水平，根据杰出的科学贡献进行选择。至少有两个奖项将留给女性和未被代表的少数族裔。将优先资助参加第一次全国会议的研究生、做口头报告的初级教师以及属于代表性不足群体的研究人员。将在专题讨论会的广告中说明是否有可能提供旅费支助。在提交摘要并由组委会进行选择时，将接受旅行奖的申请。

ID: MPS/DMR/BMAT(7623) 1248199 PI: Mefford, Olin T. ORG: Clemson UniversityTitle: Travel Scholarships for Frontiers in BioMagnetic Particles 2013INTELLECTUAL MERIT: This proposal seeks support for travel awards for graduate students, post-docs, and faculty from underrepresented groups to attend the Frontiers in BioMagnetic Particles III Symposium inTelluride, CO, June 2-4, 2013. This will be a three-day symposium focused on the characterization and control of magnetic carriers. The symposium will cover topics on magnetic particles for: (a) biomedical imaging and sensing, (b) magnetic separations, (c) drug delivery, hyperthermia, and biomedical applications. There will also be a separate student session on career development with panelist from academia, industry, and government. A well-structured agenda is presented in the proposal, and appropriate lead speakers have been lined up for each session. This is a crosscutting topic that benefits from input across the scientific, engineering, and medical fields, and the symposium is well designed to facilitate meaningful discussion among representatives of all of these communities.BROADER IMPACTS: Scientific and technical broader impacts in the fields of drug delivery, nanoparticle mediated therapies, and medical imaging are expected. Financial support is requested to provide four travel awards at $1000 each to support graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and young faculty. Awardees will be selected on the basis outstanding scientific contributions, as judged by submitted presentation abstracts, and the perceived level of need. At least two awards will be reserved for women and unrepresented minorities. Funding priority will be given to graduate students attending their first national meeting, junior faculty giving an oral presentation, and researchers belonging to underrepresented groups. The existence of potential funding for travel support will be described in advertisements for the symposium. Requests for travel awards will be accepted at the time of abstract submission and selections made by the organizing committee.
