2014 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting, San Antonio, TX, October 23-25, 2014

PI：Barabino，Gilda提案编号：1444082机构：生物医学工程学会2014年生物医学工程学会年会，德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥，2014年10月23-25日本提案寻求资金支持学生、博士后研究员、早期职业教师和专业人员参加2014生物医学工程学会年会的差旅，包括代表不足的群体和残疾人。2014年BMES年会将于2014年10月23日至25日在得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行，届时将有19个平行的技术计划轨道，重点关注总体主题“生物工程创新催化负担得起的医疗保健”。BMES年会是科学分享和传播生物医学工程最新进展的主要工具，也是生命科学和工程技术之间重要交叉交流的促进者，促进了生物医学工程实践中的多学科方法。旅行奖项将为年轻研究人员和来自代表性不足群体的研究人员提供参加年会的机会，了解生物医学工程领域的最新科学和技术进步，并参加以健康差距为重点的项目和特别会议，以及促进和维持生物医学工程和赠款撰写方面的创新研究。申请的资金将专门用于抵消学生、职业早期专业人士和课程参与者的旅费和注册费，并支持学生研究和设计奖和学生旅行奖，这将使本科生和研究生能够积极参加年会，并因其对生物医学研究的杰出贡献而受到表彰。所要求的资金还将用于支持生物医学创新和职业发展旅行奖，使少数群体健康方面的参与者广泛参与健康差距问题会议。总体而言，申请的资金将有助于培养一支多元化、受过良好教育、有技术能力和具有国际竞争力的生物医学工程队伍。

PI: Barabino, Gilda Proposal Number: 1444082Institution: Biomedical Engineering Society2014 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting, San Antonio, TX, October 23-25, 2014This proposal seeks funding to support travel for students, postdoctoral fellows, early career faculty and professionals, inclusive of underrepresented groups and accessible to persons with disabilities, to participate in the 2014 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting. The 2014 BMES Annual Meeting will be held in San Antonio, Texas, from October 23-25, 2014, and it will feature 19 parallel technical Program Tracks focused on the overall theme of "Bioengineering Innovations to Catalyze Affordable Health Care." The BMES Annual Meeting serves as a primary vehicle for scientific sharing and dissemination of the latest advances in biomedical engineering, as well as a facilitator of important cross-fertilizations between the life sciences and engineering technologies, which foster a multi-disciplinary approach in the practice of Biomedical Engineering. The travel awards will afford the opportunity for young investigators and investigators from underrepresented groups to attend the Annual Meeting, be informed on the latest scientific and technological advances in Biomedical Engineering, and participate in programs and special sessions focused on health disparities and promoting and sustaining innovative research in biomedical engineering and grant writing. The requested funds will specifically be used to offset travel costs and registration fees for students, early career professionals and session participants and to support the Students Research and Design Awards and the Student Travel Awards, which will enable undergraduate and graduate students to actively participate in the Annual Meeting and be recognized for their outstanding contributions to biomedical research. The requested funds will also support the Biomedical Innovation and Career Development Travel Awards to provide broad participation of those involved in minority health in the Health Disparities Session. Overall, the requested funding will contribute towards the development of a diverse, well-educated, technically competent, and internationally competitive biomedical engineering workforce.
