2016 Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES)-National Science Foundation (NSF) Special Session

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)年会的常规项目之外，NSF颁发了一个奖项，以支持BME-NSF关于BME研究和赠款撰写的特别会议。这笔资金将用于宣传、召集和记录会议，并抵消国家科学基金会获奖者(5名)和评审员(2名)的旅费和注册费，他们将担任参加会议的新手和新手研究人员的讲演者、小组成员和潜在的导师/合作者。这一时长3小时的会议将于2016年10月7日举行，内容包括展示NSF资助的研究和研究人员(2名职业获奖者和1名非职业获奖者)、网络招待会、关于制定成功的NSF BME赠款的基本要素的教程，以及互动赠款撰写和提交小组讨论。会议录音将张贴在脆弱海洋生态系统网站上，供点播观看。这些特别会议始于2013年，有助于生物医学工程学会采取全面的办法，其年度会议是生物医学工程界与国家科学基金会合作的主要会议，以确保培养一支多样化、受过良好教育和具有技术能力的生物医学工程队伍。

NSF has made an award in support of a "BMES-NSF Special Session on Research in BME and Grant Writing" outside the regular program of the Annual Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) being held in Minneapolis, MN, October 5-8, 2016. The funding will be used to promote, convene and record the session and offset travel costs and registration fees for NSF awardees (5) and reviewers (2) who will serve as presenters, panelists, and potential mentors/collaborators for novice and emerging investigators participating in the session. The 3 hour session, featuring presentations showcasing NSF funded research and researchers (2 CAREER awardees and 1 non-CAREER awardee), a Networking Reception, a Tutorial on Essential Elements to Develop a Successful NSF BME Grant, and an Interactive Grant Writing and Submission Panel Discussion, will be held on October 7, 2016. The recorded session will be posted on the BMES website for on demand viewing. These special sessions, which began in 2013, contribute to a comprehensive approach by BMES, whose annual meeting serves as the premier conference for the Biomedical Engineering community, in partnership with NSF to ensure development of a diverse, well educated, and technically competent biomedical engineering workforce.
