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

的ECCS - 1339443干纳格尔生物电子学培训学生差旅补助,h .特洛伊北卡罗莱纳州立大学这个建议的目的是要求旅行基金研究生参加生物电子学教程跟踪新兴领域的生物电子学和参加2013年IEEE传感器在巴尔的摩举行会议,MD。本教程将于Nov.3将涉及该领域的权威专家和将提供四个相互关联的教程,早上两次，下午两次。午餐会还将包括一位励志演讲人。每位获奖者将获得1000美元的差旅费报销。旅行费用最高可达1000美元。获奖者将是美国公民或永久居民，目前没有得到NSF委员会的支持。学生们还将参加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。这将是一个极好的机会，让学生接触到科学和工程领域的主要新兴项目之一，让学生接触到该领域的许多领导者，并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个领域所能产生的所有人力，而这是让他们参与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结合的基础，该领域的进步将解决我们社会面临的许多问题，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为本教程和会议出席提出了一个极好的计划，我强烈支持资助。预算合理，大部分资金将用于支持学生。一小部分资金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。29,575美元的资金将由以下机构提供：ECCS-07010007-7564 (George Haddad)George Haddad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)
