The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Annual Meeting will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 17-20, 2018. This award will fund several competitive travel grant programs as well as professional development activities targeted at underrepresented groups and those that may not otherwise be able to participate in the conference. The competitive travel grant programs include: students (12), career development awards for underrepresented post-doctoral trainees and young professionals, including junior faculty (25); and National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) members interested in biomedical engineering who have not previously been BMES members (30). In addition, funding is sought for a High School Visitation program for students from Atlanta high schools that do not have enhanced Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs and targeting underrepresented groups. The meeting will feature 19 Program Tracks with the theme "Celebrating 50 Years of Innovation: From Discovery to Implementation." 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. The partnership with NSBE is specifically targeted at supporting underrepresented engineers with an interest in biomedical engineering. The overall aims of this award are to support the professional development of students and underrepresented groups. Through a series of travel awards, a high school visitation program, and poster awards, this grant will provide opportunities for increased diversity among the meeting attendees and participation in the meeting's networking and diversity activities. BMES is the premier biomedical engineering conference in the United States, covering all areas within the broad discipline. It brings together researchers with backgrounds in engineering and biomedical science to discuss the latest advances in the field and support the professional development of the next generation of biomedical engineers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

生物医学工程学会（BMES）年会将于2018年10月17日至20日在格鲁吉亚亚特兰大举行。该奖项将资助几个有竞争力的旅行补助金计划，以及针对代表性不足的群体和那些可能无法参加会议的专业发展活动。有竞争力的旅行补助金计划包括：学生（12），为代表性不足的博士后学员和年轻专业人士，包括初级教师（25）的职业发展奖;和黑人工程师（NSBE）的国家协会成员感兴趣的生物医学工程谁以前没有BMES成员（30）。此外，还为亚特兰大高中的学生寻求高中访问计划的资金，这些学生没有增强的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）计划，并针对代表性不足的群体。本次会议将有19个主题为“庆祝50年的创新：从发现到实施”的节目轨道。“预计将有大约800个口头介绍、1600个海报介绍和4,000多名与会者。BMES年会是生物医学工程最新进展的科学分享和传播的主要工具，也是生命科学和工程技术之间重要交叉施肥的促进者，促进了生物医学工程实践中的多学科方法。旅行奖将为年轻的研究人员和代表性不足的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成员参与研究和培训，重点关注健康差异和少数民族健康。与NSBE的合作伙伴关系专门针对支持对生物医学工程感兴趣的代表性不足的工程师。该奖项的总体目标是支持学生和代表性不足的群体的专业发展。通过一系列的旅行奖，高中访问计划，和海报奖，这笔赠款将提供机会，增加会议与会者之间的多样性和参与会议的网络和多样性活动。BMES是美国首屈一指的生物医学工程会议，涵盖了广泛学科的所有领域。它汇集了具有工程和生物医学科学背景的研究人员，讨论该领域的最新进展，并支持下一代生物医学工程师的专业发展。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
