The goal of this award is to support students/fellows and young independent investigators (Rising Stars) to attend the 2013 Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE) Conference, to be held in Waimea, Hawaii from January 2 to 5, 2013. CMBE was recently created as a special interest group (SIG) within the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) and represents a merger of the Society for Physical Regulation in Biology and Medicine (SPRBM) with BMES. This will be the first time that this conference is held as the primary meeting for the CMBE SIG, and BMES will provide enhanced exposure and membership. The specific theme of 2013 conference will be ?Gradient, Interfacial and Spatiotemporal Control of Cells and Tissues?. Within this central theme, a broad spectrum of isolated groups have converged from disparate disciplines, but without any sense of community. The need for this conference lies in the unique opportunity to bring these scientists together in one room for the first time to exchange ideas and brainstorm new spatiotemporal strategies for moving the field of regenerative medicine forward. This travel support opportunity will be advertised though emails to be sent out by BMES and CMBE as well as on the conference website. The application process will require a short abstract, an extended abstract and a resume/biosketch submitted via email sent to a specially created BMES email address. The selection committee will consider scientific merit, and previous accomplishments with special emphasis on promoting individuals from underrepresented groups and women scientists in the field. The selected students/fellows and Rising Stars will be expected to present during the conference. The Rising Stars will all present in a special session held on the first day of the conference.The specific objectives of this award are two-fold. The first is to provide support to junior investigators, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. The meeting will thus provide a platform for the development of long-term interdisciplinary interactions, and expose researchers in bioengineering, biology and medicine to the latest ideas and opportunities at the confluence of CMBE. The second objective of this award is to foster the emergence and growth of the burgeoning sub-field of CMBE. The outcomes of the conference will be published in a special issue of the journal of Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering.

该奖项的目标是支持学生/研究员和年轻的独立研究人员（新星）参加2013年细胞和分子生物工程（CMBE）会议，将于2013年1月2日至5日在夏威夷的怀梅阿举行。CMBE是最近在生物医学工程学会（BMES）内成立的一个特殊兴趣小组（SIG），代表了生物学和医学物理调节学会（SPRBM）与BMES的合并。这将是该会议首次作为CMBE SIG的主要会议举行，BMES将提供更多的曝光和会员资格。2013年会议的具体主题是什么？细胞和组织的梯度、界面和时空控制。在这一中心主题下，各种各样的孤立群体从不同的学科聚集在一起，但没有任何社区意识。这次会议的必要性在于提供了一个独特的机会，让这些科学家首次聚集在一个房间里，交流想法并集思广益，制定新的时空策略，以推动再生医学领域的发展。此差旅支持机会将通过BMES和CMBE发送的电子邮件以及会议网站进行宣传。申请过程将需要一个简短的摘要，一个扩展的摘要和简历/biosketch通过电子邮件发送到一个专门创建的BMES电子邮件地址提交。遴选委员会将考虑科学价值和以往的成就，特别强调促进来自代表性不足群体的个人和该领域的女科学家。被选中的学生/研究员和新星将在会议期间出席。新星们将在大会第一天举行的特别会议上出席。该奖项的具体目标是双重的。第一是向初级研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生提供支助。因此，会议将为长期跨学科互动的发展提供一个平台，并使生物工程，生物学和医学的研究人员接触到CMBE融合的最新想法和机会。该奖项的第二个目标是促进CMBE新兴子领域的出现和发展。会议的成果将发表在《细胞和分子生物工程》杂志的特刊上。
