Conference: Participant Support for the 2023 Biomedical Engineering Society - Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Conference; Palm Springs, California; 2-6 January 2023

该奖项为初级研究人员（研究生，博士后研究员和非终身教职人员）提供支持，以参加2023年1月2日至6日在印度威尔斯，加州举行的2023年生物医学工程学会-细胞和分子生物工程会议。受资助的个人将出席会议并提交海报或口头报告。这些初级研究人员将受益于会议正式和非正式环境中的技术经验和专业网络。在选择过程中将考虑到代表性不足的群体的成员，学生所代表的机构的多样性，以及细胞和分子生物工程中的程序的多样性。这一机会将对生物力学、机械生物学、生物材料、组织工程、发育生物工程和疾病建模领域产生社会和经济影响，并培养来自不同背景的下一代研究人员和工程师。生物医学工程学会-细胞和分子生物工程会议是一个领先的论坛，跨学科的研究人员小组在高度集中的专题讨论会上讨论进展情况。在2023年，会议将有大约180-200名与会者参加多个技术专题会议，包括细胞状态转换，细胞在发育和疾病中的竞争，转录噪音和细胞状态，生物物理和生化状态之间的联系，免疫细胞状态以及再生医学的新技术和方法。出席并发表演讲的机会将拓宽参与研究人员的技术理解，刺激新思想和研究课题的发展，并提供众多的专业发展和网络机会。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。

This award provides support for junior researchers (graduate students, postdoc fellows, and untenured faculty) to attend the 2023 Biomedical Engineering Society - Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Conference to be held 2-6 January 2023, in Indian Wells, California. The individuals supported will attend the conference and present a poster or oral presentation. These junior researchers will benefit from the technical experience and professional networking in both formal and informal settings at the conference. Consideration in the selection process will be given to the inclusion of members of underrepresented groups, diversity of institutions that the students represent, and diversity of programs within cellular and molecular bioengineering. This opportunity will have societal and economic impact of the field of biomechanics, mechanobiology, biomaterials, tissue engineering, developmental bioengineering and disease modeling, and in developing the next generation of researchers and engineers from diverse backgrounds.The Biomedical Engineering Society - Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Conferences are a leading forum for bringing together diverse, interdisciplinary groups of researchers to discuss advances in highly focused symposia. In 2023, the conference will have approximately 180-200 attendees participating multiple technical thematic sessions that include the topics of cell state transitions, cell competition in development and diseases, transcriptional noise and cell states, links between biophysical and biochemical states, immune cell states, and new technologies and approaches for regenerative medicine. The opportunity to attend and present will broaden the participating researchers’ technical understanding, stimulate the development of new ideas and research topics, and provide numerous professional development and networking opportunities.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.
