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 researchers interested in the application of mechanical principles to biological problems, both basic and applied. The 2013 annual meeting, which will be held in Omaha, Nebraska, is being hosted by faculty at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and Creighton University. 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. Student participation and mentoring are priorities for the Society. Thus, mechanisms have been established to specifically encourage and support the participation of women, underrepresented minorities and persons with disabilities. The 2013 meeting will include a one-to-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. Meeting attendance is anticipated to exceed 500 delegates, of which about 40% are expected to be students. An innovation for this year's meeting is the collaboration between four universities, two of which include medical schools. This promotes and supports the dissemination of biomechanical knowledge to the students and faculty to enhance healthcare and rehabilitation. Funding of this proposal will maintain a low registration cost for student attendees and ensure that the meeting is available to the widest possible student audience.

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研究人员组感兴趣的应用机械原理的生物学问题，无论是基本的和应用。2013年年会将在内布拉斯加州奥马哈举行，由内布拉斯加大学奥马哈分校、内布拉斯加大学医学中心、内布拉斯加大学林肯分校和克雷顿大学的教师主办。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。学生的参与和指导是优先考虑的 社会因此，建立了专门鼓励和支持妇女、代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人参与的机制。2013年的会议将包括一对一的辅导计划，学生颁奖会议和午餐会，为讨论职业战略和妇女和少数民族问题提供一个论坛，以及将有助于吸引学生参与的社会活动。预计会议出席人数将超过500人，其中约40%为学生。今年会议的一个创新是四所大学之间的合作，其中两所包括医学院。这促进和支持生物力学知识传播给学生和教师，以加强医疗保健和康复。本提案的资金将保持学生与会者的低注册成本，并确保会议提供给尽可能广泛的学生观众。
