STEM Student Travel Grants for Bioelectronics Training. To be Held in Baltimore, MD, November, 3-6, 2013

ECCS-1339443 STEM学生生物电子培训旅费补助金北卡罗来纳州立大学H·特洛伊·纳格尔这项建议的目的是为研究生申请旅行资金，让他们参加新兴生物电子领域的生物电子教程，以及参加在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行的2013年IEEE传感器会议。该教程将于11月3日举行，该领域的顶尖专家将参加，并将提供四个相互关联的教程，两个在上午，两个在下午。还将包括一位励志午餐会演讲者。每位获奖者将获得1000美元的旅费报销。最高可达1,000美元的旅费将获得奖励。获奖者将是目前没有得到NSF ERC支持的美国公民或永久居民。学生还将参加IEEE传感器会议，该领域的许多领导者将在会上发表演讲和发表论文。这将是学生接触到科学和工程领域的主要新兴项目之一的绝佳机会，将使学生接触到该领域的许多领导者，并将对他们继续研究生学习的决定产生影响。在接下来的几年里，我们将需要我们在这一领域所能产生的所有人力，这是让他们加入进来的一个极好的方式。毫无疑问，他们中的许多人将成为未来的领导者。生物电子学是工程学和生物学相结合的基础，这一领域的进展将导致我们社会面临的许多问题的解决，包括遗传医学、卫生保健、环境传感、结构监测和国土安全。因此，这一领域的进步将产生巨大的社会影响。Nagel为这次辅导和会议的出席提出了一个很好的计划，我强烈支持这笔资金。预算是合理的，绝大多数资金将用于支持学生。一小部分资金被分配给管理该项目所需的支持人员，该项目应该包括20名学生的旅行计划和其他安排。因此，我强烈建议支持这一请求。资金29,575美元将由：ECCS-07010007-7564(乔治·哈达德)乔治·哈达德项目主任(CCSS/ENG)

ECCS - 1339443 STEM Student Travel Grants for Bioelectronics Training Nagle, H. Troy North Carolina State University The objective of this proposal is to request Travel funds for graduate students to attend a Bioelectronics Tutorial Track in the emerging field of bioelectronics and to attend the 2013 IEEE Sensors Conference which is being held in Baltimore, MD. The tutorial will be held on Nov.3 and will involve leading experts in the field and will offer four interrelated tutorials , two in the morning and two in the afternoon. A motivational luncheon speaker will also be included. Travel expense reimbursements of $1000 will be made to each awardee. Travel expenses up to $1,000 will be awarded. The awardees will be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are not currently supported by an NSF ERC. The students will also attend the IEEE Sensors conference where many of the leaders in the field will be delivering lectures and presenting papers.This will be an excellent opportunity for the students to get exposed to one of the major emerging programs in science and engineering, will expose the student to many of the leaders in the field and will have an impact on their decision to continue In graduate studies. We will need all the manpower we can generate over the next few years in this field and this is an excellent way for getting them on board. There is no doubt that many of them will be leaders in the future.Bioelectronics is fundamental to interfacing of engineering and biology and advances in this field will lead to the solution of many of the problems facing our society including genetic medicine, health care, environmental sensing, structural monitoring and homeland security. Thus advances in this field will have a tremendous societal impact.Prof. Nagel has proposed an excellent program for this tutorial and conference attendance and I strongly support funding.The budget is reasonable and the great majority of funds will go towards supporting the students. A small amount is allocated for support staff which is needed to administer the program which is supposed to include travel plans and other arrangements for 20 students.I therefore highly recommend support of this requestFunding of $29,575 will be provided by:ECCS-07010007-7564 (George Haddad)George HaddadProgram Director (CCSS/ENG)
