This conference award will provide partial support to the 2018 Microtechnologies for Medicine and Biology (MMB) Meeting in Monterey, California, on March 26-28, 2018. This meeting will provide an outstanding opportunity for networking between young investigators, including trainees, and leaders in the field of microtechnologies. The themes of the conference include: mechanobiology and biophysics; diagnostic and detection technologies; microphysiological models of living systems; bioassay development; and 3D printing and biomanufacturing. The structure of the conference, including a single room format and 90-second "flash" presentations by poster presenters to introduce their research, will provide a multidisciplinary perspective to all meeting attendees and update everyone on the latest developments within the field. The conference attendees include stakeholders from the clinical and biomedical industry arenas, which allows for significant exchange of ideas in the furtherance of scientific advancement.This award will provide financial support for four young investigators and four trainees to attend the international meeting. Awardees will be selected based on a submitted, 2-page abstract and preference will be given to individuals from groups that are underrepresented in their science and engineering fields. Over 50 percent of attendees have historically been trainees. Substantial opportunities are provided for networking, including between young investigators/trainees and leaders in the field. In addition, partial travel support will be provided to two female keynote speakers. These individuals will be available for networking with and mentoring of the young investigators and trainees attending the meeting.

该会议奖将为2018年3月26-28日在加利福尼亚州蒙特利举行的2018年医学和生物微技术(MMB)会议提供部分支持。这次会议将为包括受训人员在内的青年研究人员与微技术领域的领导者之间建立联系提供一个绝佳的机会。会议的主题包括：机械生物学和生物物理学；诊断和检测技术；生命系统的微生理模型；生物分析发展；以及3D打印和生物制造。会议的结构，包括单间形式和海报演示者介绍他们的研究的90秒“快速”演示，将为所有与会者提供一个多学科的视角，并向每个人通报该领域的最新发展。会议的与会者包括临床和生物医药行业的利益相关者，这允许在推动科学进步方面进行重要的思想交流。该奖项将为参加国际会议的四名年轻研究人员和四名受训人员提供资金支持。获奖者将根据提交的2页摘要进行选择，并将优先考虑在其科学和工程领域代表不足的团体的个人。超过50%的参与者历史上都是实习生。为建立联系提供了大量机会，包括青年调查员/受训人员与实地领导人之间的联系。此外，还将向两名女性主旨发言人提供部分差旅支助。这些人员将可与出席会议的青年调查员和受训人员建立联系并对他们进行指导。
