The National Science Foundation's (NSF)Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) program supports models, networks, partnerships and research to ensure the broadening participation in STEM of women, members of racial and ethnic groups that have been historically underrepresented, persons of low socio-economic status, and people with disabilities. The University of Akron will convene a two-day conference to develop a backbone organization to support the preparation and advancement of underrepresented minorities K-12 through careers in the biosciences, a high growth area for engineering (biomechanics, biometrics and biomaterials). This conference draws on the expertise of a wide range of organizations, professional associations, K-20+, community based organizations, industry and museums. The intent is to strengthen the network among participants and leverage learning on how to engage youth in the biosciences.The results of this first conference will be a white paper that will be disseminated to several professional societies that outlines a backbone infrastructure for addressing both short-term and longer-term aspects of an NSF INCLUDES alliance centered on bioengineering, biomechanics, biomedical engineering and biomaterials.

美国国家科学基金会的工程和科学领域代表性不足的发现者学习者社区全国包容方案支持各种模式、网络、伙伴关系和研究，以确保扩大妇女、历史上代表性不足的种族和族裔群体成员、社会经济地位低的人和残疾人对科学、技术、工程和科学的参与。阿克伦大学将召开为期两天的会议，以建立一个骨干组织，通过生物科学的职业生涯来支持代表性不足的少数民族K-12的准备和发展，这是一个高增长的工程领域（生物力学，生物识别和生物材料）。 本次会议借鉴了广泛的组织，专业协会，K-20+，社区组织，行业和博物馆的专业知识。 第一次会议的成果将是一份白色文件，该文件将分发给几个专业协会，概述了一个骨干基础设施，用于解决NSF INCLUDES联盟的短期和长期问题，该联盟以生物工程、生物力学、生物医学工程和生物材料为中心。
