21st Century Opportunities in Biomedical Engineering; Impacting Healthcare from the Clinic to Industry

该奖项支持第45届东北生物工程年会，该会议将由罗格斯大学生物医学工程系于2019年3月27-29日在新泽西州皮斯卡塔韦乔伊斯·基尔默大道84号罗格斯大学利文斯顿校园学生中心举行，邮编：08854。申请的资金将主要用于补贴本科生和研究生的注册费，以及支付与会议场地相关的网站和出版物费用。INTELLECTUAL优点：第45届NEBEC的智力优势是展示生物医学工程研究和教育项目，同时促进美国东北部大学之间的合作。由于美国东北部有大量的生物医学工程项目，而且它们靠近领先的医疗中心以及制药、生物制药和医疗器械行业，NEBEC为学生、教师、临床和行业互动提供了大量机会，以加强生物医学工程的研究、教育、临床和产业影响。我们希望通过聚焦于罗格斯大学的具体倡议和中心的镜头来介绍这次会议，并提供罗格斯大学带来的产业机会？得天独厚的地理位置，位于新泽西州“治愈走廊”的中心，距离众多财富500强医疗保健公司不到50英里。更广泛的影响：这项支持的更广泛影响是促进学生参与NEBEC，为美国东北部生物工程/生物医学工程专业的本科生、研究生和博士后提供互动机会。我们希望促进本科生向不同受众展示他们的研究成果的机会。特别是，将努力招聘早期职业调查员、女性调查员和来自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群体有机会出席和出席会议。通过补贴注册费用，我们希望与近年来其他NEBEC场馆收取的费用相比，所有参与者的注册费用都能降低。这将有助于我们从任职人数不足的群体中招聘年轻的调查人员和学生，以扩大不同调查人员群体的参与，否则他们可能无法参加讲习班。这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、生物制药和医疗器械行业的代表的互动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
