Conference: 2015 TERMIS World Congress, September 8-11, 2015, Boston, Massachusetts

PI: Kaplan, David L.提案号：1540742本提案旨在为参加2015年9月8-11日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的2015年组织工程与再生医学国际学会-世界大会（termiss - wc）年会的年轻研究者、研究生和本科生提供旅行奖支持。共有58名参与者将获得资金支持，这些资金将部分用于支付注册费和交通费。2015年termiss - wc会议由塔夫茨大学的David Kaplan博士和匹兹堡大学的Kacey Marra博士共同主持。两位联合主席都是组织工程和生物材料领域的知名研究人员，他们致力于支持本科生、研究生和博士后研究员。组织工程和再生医学是一个新兴的跨学科领域，具有革命性的临床治疗和治疗各种疾病的潜力。TERMIS-WC会议是组织工程与再生医学国际学会的重要会议，预计将汇集来自学术界和工业界的约2000名国际研究人员、科学家、临床医生、学员和学生，介绍和讨论该领域的关键发展。因此，会议整合和传播组织工程和再生医学的前沿研究。主讲人是该领域的领导者，技术和海报会议包括对最新进展的介绍。在会议的规划和执行中，TERMIS学生和青年研究员组（SYIS）将发挥重要作用。会议将为学生、研究人员和临床医生提供充分的机会来学习组织工程和再生医学领域的最新进展，并将其纳入他们的教育、研发和临床活动中。将特别强调学生、青年调查人员、来自代表性不足群体的调查人员和妇女调查人员的参与。计划针对这些群体的活动，旨在加强他们的培训、指导、职业发展和求职。研讨会的研究结果将通过研讨会网站和组织工程杂志（TERMIS的官方杂志）网站发布。本提案由化学、生物工程、环境和运输系统分部的生物医学工程项目和生物技术与生物化学工程项目共同资助。

PI: Kaplan, David L. Proposal Number: 1540742This proposal seeks support for Travel Awards to Young Investigators, Graduate Students and Undergraduate Students to attend the 2015 Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society - World Congress (TERMIS-WC) Annual Meeting is to be held on September 8-11, 2015, in Boston, Massachusetts. A total of 58 participants will be supported through funds that will be used to partially cover registration fees and transportation expenses. The 2015 TERMIS-WC Meeting is co-chaired by Dr. David Kaplan at Tufts University and Dr. Kacey Marra at the University of Pittsburgh. The co-chairs are both established researchers in the areas of tissue engineering and biomaterials, and they are committed to supporting undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is an emerging interdisciplinary field with the potential to revolutionize clinical treatments and therapies for a variety of diseases. The TERMIS-WC Meeting is a key meeting of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society, and it is estimated to bring together approximately 2000 international researchers, scientists, clinicians, trainees, and students from both academia and industry to present and discuss key developments in the field. The meeting therefore integrates and disseminates cutting edge research in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Keynote speakers are leaders in the field and technical and poster sessions include presentations on the latest advances. A strong role in the meeting planning and execution will be played by the TERMIS Student and Young Investigator Section (SYIS). The conference will provide ample opportunities for students, investigators and clinicians to learn the latest advances in the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine fields and incorporate them in their educational, research and development, and clinical activities. Special emphasis will be given to the participation of students, young investigators, investigators from underrepresented groups, and women investigators. Activities are planned that target these groups and aim to enhance their training, mentorship, career development, and job search. The findings from the workshop will be disseminated through the workshop website and the journal Tissue Engineering (the official journal of TERMIS) website. This proposal is co-funded by the Biomedical Engineering Program and by the Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering Program, both in the Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems Division.
