This award will support the Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference (SB3C), Vail, Colorado 4-8 June 2023, with a theme of Building Interfaces Across Tissues, Disciplines, and Communities. A hallmark of the SB3C is a focus on student and trainee involvement (approximately half of attendees are trainees). The conference will highlight student achievements in research through a Student Paper Competition as well as connect trainees with mentors through events such as the Diversity Mentor-Mentee session. Funding will be used to offset registration and travel costs for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in a STEM field, with special consideration given to members of groups underrepresented in STEM. Registration costs for the students selected to participate in the BS Student Paper Competition and MS Student Paper Competition will be waived, which will enable students who might not ordinarily be able to attend the conference to compete in these research competitions. The conference will also feature a Diversity Reception and Diversity Mentor-Mentee Workshop, led by a professional facilitator.The SB3C is a leading bioengineering conference held annually that promotes state-of-the-art research, collaboration, and scientific discourse in bioengineering; showcases research from students and trainees; and provides essential networking and mentoring opportunities across disciplines and levels of seniority. The conference will include over 40 podium sessions, 4 plenary/award lecture sessions, 10 workshops, and numerous reception and networking events. The objectives of the conference are: (i) enhance access to bioengineering research and education opportunities, particularly for underrepresented groups (ii) improve interfaces across basic research and translation, including biomechanics, bioengineering, and biotransport; and (iii) develop emerging bioengineering fields with high translational potential.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.

该奖项将支持 2023 年 6 月 4 日至 8 日在科罗拉多州韦尔举行的夏季生物力学、生物工程和生物转运会议 (SB3C)，主题是“跨组织、学科和社区建立接口”。 SB3C 的一个特点是注重学生和实习生的参与（大约一半的与会者是实习生）。会议将通过学生论文竞赛突出学生的研究成就，并通过多元化导师-学员会议等活动将学员与导师联系起来。资金将用于抵消 STEM 领域本科生和研究生的注册和旅行费用，并特别考虑 STEM 领域代表性不足的群体成员。被选中参加BS学生论文竞赛和MS学生论文竞赛的学生将免除注册费用，这将使那些通常无法参加会议的学生能够参加这些研究竞赛。会议还将举办由专业主持人主持的多元化招待会和多元化导师-受训者研讨会。SB3C 是领先的生物工程会议，每年举行一次，旨在促进生物工程领域最先进的研究、合作和科学讨论；展示学生和实习生的研究；并提供跨学科和资历级别的重要交流和指导机会。会议将包括 40 多场讲台会议、4 场全体会议/颁奖讲座、10 场研讨会以及众多接待和社交活动。会议的目标是：（i）增加获得生物工程研究和教育机会的机会，特别是对于代表性不足的群体而言（ii）改善基础研究和翻译之间的联系，包括生物力学、生物工程和生物运输； (iii) 开发具有高转化潜力的新兴生物工程领域。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。
