DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is the world's largest international society of biomedical engineers, with approximately 10,000 members who reside in 97 countries, with the vast majority being in the United States. The annual flagship conference of the EMBS, the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC,) is held to support the society's mission of advancing the application of engineering sciences and technology to medicine and biology, and promoting the profession by disseminating knowledge, setting standards, fostering professional development, and recognizing excellence. The EMBC'14 will be held in Chicago from August 27 through August 31, 2014, and will consist of platform and poster sessions spread across 11 themes in biomedical engineering, including biomedical imaging, biosignal processing, bioinformatics, neuroengineering, biorobotics, micro- and nano-biosensors, healthcare information systems, and biomedical engineering education. In addition to the technical and scientific sessions, there will also be tutorials and workshops that are more educationally oriented, as well as networking sessions and panel discussions related to career choices for students and postdoctoral trainees. The nature, types of activities and scale of EMBC'14 provide an excellent environment can be utilized to promote biomedical research as a potential career pathway among top-notch undergraduate/graduate students and post-doctoral trainees in bioengineering. The specific aim of the project is to request $10,000 from NIBIB and $10,000 from NCI to support our effort in lowering the financial barriers to the EMBC'14 attendance of students and trainees, and to disburse the funding to top tier of presenting student and trainee authors in the form of ~$400 awards. The grant will play a critical role in establishing an ongoing series of forums within the EMBC in which bioengineering research and/or design work of students and trainees can be presented within a friendly and supportive environment; in providing a unique opportunity for top-notch students to be exposed firsthand to state-of- the-art advances in bioengineering research and the leaders in the field; in encouraging them to participate in networking and mentoring activities that may be critical in encouraging them to pursue graduate study or research-oriented careers in biomedical science and engineering; and in partially defray the burdening costs of travel to conference by the students and trainees. Particular attention will be directed to encourage the participation of woman, underrepresented minority, and disabled students and trainees.

描述(申请人提供)：医学和生物工程学会(EMBS)是世界上最大的国际生物医学工程师协会，大约有10,000名成员，居住在97个国家，其中绝大多数在美国。EMBS的年度旗舰会议-医学和生物工程会议(EMBC)-是为了支持该学会的使命，即促进工程科学和技术在医学和生物学中的应用，并通过传播知识、制定标准、促进专业发展和表彰优秀来促进专业。EMBC‘14将于2014年8月27日至8月31日在芝加哥举行，将包括平台和海报会议，涉及生物医学工程的11个主题，包括生物医学成像、生物信号处理、生物信息学、神经工程、生物机器人、微纳生物传感器、医疗信息系统和生物医学工程教育。除了技术和科学课程外，还将举办更多面向教育的教程和讲习班，以及与学生和博士后实习生的职业选择有关的网络课程和小组讨论。EMBC‘14的性质、活动类型和规模提供了一个很好的环境，可以用来促进生物医学研究，作为生物工程领域最优秀的本科生/研究生和博士后实习生的潜在职业道路。该项目的具体目标是从NIBIB申请10,000美元，从NCI申请10,000美元，以支持我们降低EMBC 14学生和实习生出席的经济障碍的努力，并以~400美元的形式向顶级呈现学生和实习生作者支付资金。这笔赠款将在以下方面发挥关键作用：在EMBC内建立一个持续的论坛，在这个论坛中，学生和学员的生物工程研究和/或设计工作可以在友好和支持的环境中展示；为顶尖学生提供一个独特的机会，让他们直接接触生物工程研究的最新进展和该领域的领导者；鼓励他们参与可能对鼓励他们在生物医学科学和工程领域从事研究生学习或研究型职业生涯至关重要的网络和指导活动；以及部分支付学生和学员参加会议的负担。将特别注意鼓励妇女、任职人数不足的少数群体以及残疾学生和受训人员参加。
