2019 Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES)-National Science Foundation (NSF) Special Sessions

BMES年会是高度跨学科的，是生物医学工程社区的首要会议，为BME领域的主要研究人员、专业人士、领导者和学生提供前沿的发现和教育项目。BMES年会是举办BMES- nsf特别会议的理想场所，以吸引尽可能广泛的参与，并激发教师，学生和专业人员之间的对话，问题和答案，以及新的指导关系。这些特别会议将使听众与会者更好地了解nsf资助的研究机会，更好地了解如何准备成功的BME资助提案，并为与会者提供一个作为导师和同事相互学习的地方。1) BMES- nsf关于职业和非应邀奖励的特别会议：BMES- nsf主办的特别会议预计将于2019年10月18日（星期五）在2019年BMES年会上举行。会议的目标是将NSF生物工程和工程医疗受助者、年轻研究者、初级和高级教师以及博士后学员聚集在一起，就开展和资助BMES领域的前沿研究进行思想交流和建立网络。2)BMES-NSF研究生研究奖学金计划特别会议（GRFP）： BMES-NSF赞助的特别会议预计将于2019年10月19日星期六在BMES年会上举行。会议的目标是将项目官员、受资助者、审稿人和研究生聚集在一起，重点介绍NSF GRFP，并向本科生和研究生介绍GFRP的指导方针和策略，以制定获奖的GRFP资助提案。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The BMES Annual Meeting is highly interdisciplinary and is the premiere conference for the Biomedical Engineering community, offering programming at the forefront of discovery and education to leading researchers, professionals, leaders and students in the BME field. The BMES Annual Meeting is an ideal venue to hold the BMES-NSF Special Sessions to engage the broadest possible participation, and to stimulate conversations, questions & answers, and new mentoring relationships across faculty, students and professionals. These Special Sessions will allow audience participants to gain a greater awareness of NSF-sponsored research opportunities, attain a better understanding of how to prepare successful BME grant proposals, and offer participants a place to learn from each other as mentors and colleagues.Two sessions are planning:1) BMES-NSF Special Session on CAREER and UNSOLICITED Awards: This BMES-NSF sponsored Special Session is expected to be held at the 2019 BMES Annual Meeting on Friday, October 18, 2019. The goal of the session is to bring together NSF Bioengineering and Engineering Healthcare grantees, young investigators, junior and senior faculty, and postdoctoral trainees for idea exchange and networking related to conducting and funding cutting-edge research in BME.2) BMES-NSF Special Session on Graduate Research Fellowships Program (GRFP): This BMES-NSF sponsored Special Session is expected to be held at the 2019 BMES Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 19, 2019. The goal of the session is to bring together program officers, grantees, reviewers and graduate students to highlight the NSF GRFP and inform undergraduate and graduate students on GFRP guidelines and strategies to develop winning GRFP grant proposals.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.
