DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Society of Biomechanics is the primary society for biomechanics research in the United States. The Society's annual meeting brings together an interdisciplinary group of scientists applying mechanical principles to biological problems, both basic and applied. The 2012 annual meeting, (held on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, FL), is being hosted by the biomechanics faculty of the University of Florida. The meeting will feature a variety of activities designed to foster lively interchange of ideas, including podium presentations, keynote lectures, poster presentations, topical tutorials, and laboratory tours. Meeting attendance is anticipated to exceed 600 delegates, of which more than half are expected to be students. Student participation and mentoring are priorities for the Society. Also, mechanisms have been established to specifically encourage and support the participation of women and underrepresented minorities. The 2012 meeting will include a one-one mentoring program, student award sessions, and luncheons to provide a forum for the discussion of career strategies and issues for women and minorities, as well as social events that will serve to engage student participants. An innovation for this year's meeting is the collaboration with the Center for Pre Collegiate Education and Training (UF-CPET) at the University of Florida. The UF-CPET promotes and supports the use of the facilities and faculty of the university in the preparation and enhancement of science and technology education at the secondary education level. Financial support by this R13 proposal will allow 25 high school students from UF-CPET's Summer Student Science Training Program (SSTP) to attend the meeting to present their summer research and will afford us the ability to live stream the podium and keynote talks to all participants in the SSTP program. Further, funding of this proposal will foster participation of underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, and women in the 2012 meeting. Thus, the requested funds will ensure that the meeting is available to the widest possible student audience and will enhance the exposure of biomechanics to talented high school students which will we hope will stimulate interest in science-related careers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The American Society of Biomechanics is the primary scientific organization for biomechanics research in the United States. The annual meeting will be hosted by the biomechanics faculty of the University of Florida and will take place at the University of Florida Hilton and Conference Center (August 15-18, 2012). The meeting promotes student participation with a particular emphasis on the participation of female and minority students. This proposal seeks funding to support the registration costs of underrepresented groups in biomedical sciences and to provide live streaming of the podium and keynote presentations to talented high school students and their teachers.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国生物力学学会是美国生物力学研究的主要学会。该学会的年会汇集了一个跨学科的科学家小组，将机械原理应用于生物学问题，包括基础和应用。2012年年会（在佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔的佛罗里达大学校园举行）由佛罗里达大学生物力学系主办。会议将举办各种旨在促进活跃的思想交流的活动，包括讲台演讲、主旨演讲、海报展示、专题辅导和实验室图尔斯参观。预计出席会议的代表将超过600人，其中一半以上预计是学生。学生的参与和指导是社会的优先事项。此外，还建立了专门鼓励和支持妇女和代表性不足的少数群体参与的机制。2012年的会议将包括一对一的指导计划，学生颁奖会议和午餐会，为妇女和少数民族的职业战略和问题的讨论提供一个论坛，以及将有助于吸引学生参与的社会活动。今年会议的一个创新是与佛罗里达大学预科教育和培训中心（UF-CPET）的合作。UF-CPET促进和支持利用大学的设施和教师，以准备和加强中等教育水平的科学和技术教育。通过这个R13提案的财政支持将允许来自UF-CPET的暑期学生科学培训计划（SSTP）的25名高中生参加会议，介绍他们的暑期研究，并将为我们提供直播讲台和主题演讲的能力SSTP计划的所有参与者。此外，为该提案提供资金将促进代表人数不足的少数群体、残疾人和妇女参加2012年会议。因此，所要求的资金将确保会议提供给尽可能广泛的学生观众，并将提高生物力学的接触，以有才华的高中学生，我们希望这将刺激科学相关的职业兴趣。 公共卫生相关性：美国生物力学学会是美国生物力学研究的主要科学组织。年会将由佛罗里达大学生物力学系主办，并将在佛罗里达大学希尔顿和会议中心举行（2012年8月15日至18日）。会议促进学生参与，特别强调女生和少数民族学生的参与。该提案寻求资金，以支持生物医学科学中代表性不足的群体的注册费用，并为有才华的高中学生及其教师提供讲台和主题演讲的现场直播。
