2016 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting

1628291-Hart NSF为参加2016年10月5日至8日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行的生物医学工程学会（BMES） 2016年年会的本科生（17人）、研究生（5人）、博士后（2人）和早期职业教师（2人）提供旅费和注册费补助。会议将以“将发现转化为促进人类健康的技术”为主题，举办19场专题讨论。预计将有大约800个口头报告，1600个海报报告和4000多名与会者。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的交叉受精的促进者，这促进了生物医学工程实践中的多学科方法。旅行奖将为年轻研究人员和代表性不足群体的研究人员提供参加年会的机会，了解生物医学工程的最新科学和技术进展，并帮助支持BMES成员参与以健康差异和少数群体健康为重点的研究和培训。

1628291-Hart NSF has made an award to support travel costs and registration fees for undergraduate students (17), graduate students (5), postdoctoral fellows (2) and early career faculty members (2) who will be attending the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) that will be held in Minneapolis, MN, October 5-8, 2016. The meeting will feature 19 Program Tracks with the theme "Transforming Discovery into Technology for Human Health." Approximately 800 oral presentations, 1600 poster presentations and over 4,000 participants are anticipated. 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 help support BMES members involved in research and training focused on health disparities and minority health.
