This award supports the 45th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference (NEBEC) which will be hosted by the Rutgers University Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Rutgers University Livingston Campus Student Center, 84 Joyce Kilmer Avenue, Piscataway, NJ, 08854, on March 27 - 29, 2019. The funds requested will primarily be used to subsidize undergraduate and graduate student registration fees and cover website and publication costs associated with the conference venue.INTELLECTUAL MERIT:The intellectual merit of the 45th NEBEC is to showcase biomedical engineering research and education programs while stimulating inter-university collaborations within the Northeast U.S. Because of the large number of Biomedical Engineering programs within the Northeast United States and their proximity to a high concentration of leading medical centers as well as pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical device industries the NEBEC offers numerous opportunities for student, faculty, clinical, and industrial interactions in order to strengthen research, educational, clinical, and industrial impacts of biomedical engineering. We wish to present the conference through a lens focused on specific initiatives and centers at Rutgers University as well as offering industrial opportunities due to Rutgers? unique location at the center of the NJ "cure corridor" being within 50 miles of numerous fortune 500 health care companies. BROADER IMPACTS:The broader impacts of this support are to promote student participation in the NEBEC to allow interaction opportunities for undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students enrolled in bioengineering/biomedical engineering programs in the Northeastern U.S. We hope to promote opportunities for undergraduates to present their research to a diverse audience. In particular, efforts will be made to recruit early career investigators, female investigators, and investigators from underrepresented groups to participate in the conference. We will ensure that woman and minorities have opportunities to present and attend the meeting. By subsidizing registration costs, we hope to reduce registration fees for all participants compared to the fees charged from other NEBEC venues in recent years. This will help us recruit young investigators and students from underrepresented groups to broaden the participation of a diverse group of investigators who may otherwise not be able to attending the workshop. This conference will provide a venue for biomedical engineering programs located in the Northeast U.S. to present research, while promoting the exchange of ideas and technologies in order to expand research and educational collaborations as well as providing interaction with representatives from the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and medical device industries.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.

该奖项支持第45届年度东北生物工程会议（NEBEC），该会议将于2019年3月27日至29日在罗格斯大学利文斯顿校园学生中心由罗格斯大学生物医学工程系主办，地址为84 Joyce Kilmer Avenue，皮斯卡特维，NJ，08854。申请的资金将主要用于资助本科生和研究生的注册费，并支付与会议地点有关的网站和出版物费用。第45届NEBEC的智力价值是展示生物医学工程研究和教育计划，同时刺激美国东北部的大学间合作，因为美国东北部有大量的生物医学工程项目，并且靠近高度集中的领先医疗中心和制药，NEBEC为学生，教师，临床和工业互动提供了许多机会，以加强生物医学工程的研究，教育，临床和工业影响。我们希望通过一个透镜介绍会议，重点是罗格斯大学的具体倡议和中心，以及提供工业机会，由于罗格斯大学？独特的地理位置在新泽西州的中心“治愈走廊”是在50英里内的许多财富500强医疗保健公司。更广泛的影响：这种支持的更广泛的影响是促进学生参与NEBEC，让本科生，研究生和博士后学生在美国东北部的生物工程/生物医学工程项目注册的互动机会，我们希望促进本科生的机会，以展示他们的研究，以多样化的观众。特别是，将努力征聘早期职业调查员、女性调查员和代表性不足群体的调查员参加会议。我们将确保妇女和少数民族有机会出席会议。通过补贴注册费用，我们希望与近年来NEBEC其他场馆收取的费用相比，降低所有参与者的注册费用。这将有助于我们从代表性不足的群体中招募年轻的调查人员和学生，以扩大可能无法参加讲习班的各种调查人员的参与。本次会议将为位于美国东北部的生物医学工程项目提供一个展示研究的场所，同时促进思想和技术的交流，以扩大研究和教育合作，并提供与制药，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
