PI: Grimm, MicheleProposal Number: 1417102This proposal seeks support for the 2014 Summer Bioengineering Conference (SBC) sponsored by the Bioengineering Division (BED) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). This year, the SBC will be held in conjunction with the 7th World Congress of Biomechanics (WCB) from July 6-11 in Boston, MA. The budget request of $50,200 to the NSF ($28,760 to GARDE, $21,440 to BME and Nano & Biomechanics) has three primary purposes: to help increase student attendance and participation at the conference by reducing student registration fees and providing complimentary student registration to 36 Ph.D. finalists in the Student Paper Competition; to provide a 4th year of support for the successful Undergraduate Design Competition; and to support a special symposium on neural functionality failure analysis and augmented repair. The conference format will be 20 parallel sessions of oral presentations, 3 poster sessions, and 11 plenary sessions. Student focused events will include a Student Paper Competition, with both oral and poster presentations, and 2 design and computation competitions. The finalists for the Ph.D. paper competition, undergraduate design, and computation competition will present their work in parallel oral sessions. All technical presentations will be supported by 400-word abstracts and compiled in a digital format for distribution to all registrants. The primary purpose of the SBC and WCB have been, and continue to be, to promote state-of-the-art research, collaboration, and scientific discourse in the broad field of bioengineering with focus on biomechanical engineering, encompassing molecular to tissue and organism-level approaches. This conference highlights students, promotes advancement in their education and furthers their careers towards becoming future leaders in bioengineering.Intellectual Merit : The SBC and WCB are extremely high quality and intellectually stimulating interdisciplinary scientific meetings. They are, respectively, the premiere meetings for biomechanical engineering in North America and internationally. In this combined meeting, the BED has insured the inclusion of many of the traditional features of the SBC. Two Challenges, the Undergraduate Design Competition and Grand Challenge in Predicting Knee Loads, will highlight student achievements in engineering design and modeling and will rapidly advance the field through simultaneously encouraging competition and collaboration. The ASME-sponsored Student Paper Competition will highlight the research of the next generation of biomedical engineers. The winners of the BED?s Early, Mid, and Lifetime Career Awards will make scientific presentations.Broader Impacts : In addition to the direct impact this conference will have on the mainstream bioengineering community, it serves an important cross-fertilization role. In attendance will be bioengineers, engineers from other disciplines, cell and molecular biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and other scientists. In that manner, this conference will have a much broader impact than if it were to be attended by just the biomechanics community. As importantly, 50% of the attendees are expected to be students and postdoctoral fellows. This will have a broad impact on bioengineering as future leaders are developed through the student paper, design, and computational competitions as well as networking opportunities. Through the digital proceedings and the conference web site, information presented at the meeting will be available to multiple societies and to the public at large.

主要研究者：Grimm，Michele提案编号：1417102本提案寻求对2014年夏季生物工程会议（SBC）的支持，该会议由美国机械工程师协会（ASME）生物工程部（BED）主办。 今年，SBC将与7月6日至11日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的第七届世界生物力学大会（WCB）一起举行。NSF的预算要求为50，200美元（GARDE为28，760美元，BME和Nano Biomechanics为21，440美元），主要有三个目的：通过降低学生注册费和为36名博士提供免费学生注册，帮助提高学生出勤率和参与会议。学生论文比赛的决赛选手;为成功的本科生设计比赛提供第四年的支持;并支持神经功能故障分析和增强修复的特别研讨会。会议的形式将是20个口头报告的平行会议，3个海报会议和11个全体会议。以学生为中心的活动将包括一个学生论文比赛，包括口头和海报展示，以及2个设计和计算比赛。博士的决赛选手。论文比赛，本科生设计和计算比赛将在平行的口头会议上介绍他们的工作。所有技术演示文稿都将附有400字的摘要，并以数字格式汇编，分发给所有注册人。SBC和WCB的主要目的一直是并将继续是促进生物工程广泛领域的最先进研究，合作和科学话语，重点是生物力学工程，包括分子到组织和生物体水平的方法。本次会议突出学生，促进他们的教育进步，并进一步推动他们的职业生涯，成为未来的领导者在生物工程。智力优点：SBC和WCB是极高质量和智力刺激跨学科的科学会议。它们分别是北美和国际上生物力学工程的首次会议。在这次联合会议上，董事会确保了SBC的许多传统功能。两个挑战，本科生设计竞赛和预测膝关节载荷的大挑战，将突出学生在工程设计和建模方面的成就，并将通过同时鼓励竞争和合作来迅速推进该领域。ASME赞助的学生论文比赛将突出下一代生物医学工程师的研究。床的赢家？更广泛的影响：除了这次会议将对主流生物工程界产生直接影响外，它还发挥着重要的交叉作用。生物工程师、其他学科的工程师、细胞和分子生物学家、生物化学家、生物药理学家和其他科学家将出席会议。以这种方式，这次会议将有一个更广泛的影响，如果它只是由生物力学界参加。同样重要的是，预计50%的与会者将是学生和博士后研究员。这将对生物工程产生广泛的影响，因为未来的领导者将通过学生论文，设计和计算竞赛以及网络机会来发展。通过数字会议记录和会议网站，会议上介绍的信息将提供给多个社会和广大公众。
