Students, Diversity Events, and a Systems Workshop at the 2022 Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference (SB3C); Cambridge, Maryland; 20-23 June 2022

该奖项将为学生、多样性活动和一年一度的夏季生物力学、生物工程和生物运输会议(SB3C)的系统研讨会提供支持。会议将于2022年6月20日至23日在马里兰州剑桥市举行。会议的目标是促进生物工程领域的研究合作，特别是力量和流动对生物学和疾病的影响。会议还展示了学生的研究成果，并为学生提供了与经验丰富的研究人员建立联系的机会。资金将用于抵消传统上在生物力学领域代表性较低的群体(包括女性)参加会议的注册费用。资金还将用于支付被选中参加研究竞赛的学生的全额注册费用。最后，资金将用于支持为上述学生举办的辅导活动、关于STEM领域非裔美国人的教育活动，以及一名专业作家，以向更大的社区传播会议成果。2022年SB3C的主要目标是促进生物工程领域的最新研究、合作和科学论述，重点是生物力学、流体力学、生物运输、机械生物学、组织工程以及康复和设计。SB3C的第二个目标是展示学生和实习生的研究成果，并提供必要的网络和指导机会。SB3C的第三个目标是扩大对生物力学、生物工程和生物运输研究的参与。2022年SB3C的学术价值在于提高了如何将系统生物学的概念应用于生物力学和机械生物学的知识。这将通过全体会议、研究会议和研讨会来实现。然后，这些知识将通过在《生物力学工程杂志》上发表一篇论文向更大的生物力学社区传播。这一奖项反映了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 will provide support for Students, Diversity Events, and a Systems Workshop at the annual Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference (SB3C). The conference will take place in Cambridge, Maryland, June 20-23, 2022. The goal of the conference is to promote research collaboration in bioengineering, specifically the impact of forces and flows on biology and disease. The conference also showcases student research and provides opportunities for students to network with experienced researchers. Funding will be used to offset registration costs for students from groups traditionally underrepresented in biomechanics (including women) to attend the conference. Funding will also be used to pay the full registration cost for students who are selected to participate in a research competition. Finally, funding will be used to support a mentoring event for the aforementioned students, an educational event about African Americans in STEM fields, and a professional writer to disseminate conference outcomes with the larger community. This will be in addition to the publicly-available conference proceedings.The primary objective of the 2022 SB3C is to promote state-of-the-art research, collaboration, and scientific discourse in bioengineering with a focus on biomechanics, fluid mechanics, biotransport, mechanobiology, tissue engineering, and rehabilitation and design. The second objective of SB3C is to showcase research from students and trainees, as well as provide essential networking and mentoring opportunities. The third objective of SB3C is to broaden participation in biomechanics, bioengineering, and biotransport research. The intellectual merit of the 2022 SB3C lies in advancing knowledge in how to apply concepts from systems biology to biomechanics and mechanobiology. This will be achieved through the plenary talk, research sessions, and workshops. This knowledge will then be disseminated to the larger biomechanics community by publishing a paper in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering.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.
