 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is devoted to developing and using engineering and technology to advance human health and well-being and to building the next generation of biomedical engineers to realize that vision. Innovative technologies are being developed and medical advances are occurring at a rapid rate while global problems are increasing in complexity. In order to keep pace and meet challenges, biomedical engineering must train and develop the best talent and draw that talent from all sectors. BMES is uniquely positioned as a professional society to play an active role in leading the discipline and shaping the future of biomedical engineering. Beyond research and educational presentations, through its Annual Meeting, BMES will provide opportunities for strategic network building, career development and advancement, sharing ideas, recognizing and promoting talent, developing and promoting professional excellence and broadening the participation of underserved and underrepresented groups. The theme of this year's meeting is "Innovation at the Interface." The meeting will be held in Tampa, Florida from October 7-10, 2015. Approximately 4,000 attendees are anticipated for the 2015 meeting based upon previous attendance records and abstract submissions. The main program consists of 19 parallel technical Program Tracks providing over 800 oral presentations and more than 1,500 poster presentations. There will also be a Career Fair for students and Meet the Faculty Candidate Poster Session for early career professionals such as post-doctoral fellows, and a host of professional and social activities, including pre-conference workshops, plenary lectures, and several special events. This year as a tribute to the theme, there will be sessions dedicated to collaborative teaching and future of collaborative research. The collaborative teaching session will include challenges of team- based/project-based learning and collaborating with non-BME partners. The future of collaborative research session will include stories and research summaries of interdisciplinary centers about what works and doesn't work as well as funding opportunities. There will also be a plenary session about biomedical engineering making the world a better place for all living beings. Kevin Carroll, from Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics of Texas, will be speaking about his work developing engineering solutions for people with disabilities and also his work on a prosthetic tail for Winter, the dolphin featured in the movie a Dolphin's Tale. This conference proposal seeks funding to support new and existing activities specifically targeted toward younger and junior members (includes early career and young investigators who received a degree in biomedical engineering or a related science within three years), underrepresented minorities, and others who are underserved and under-engaged with the Society. It is expected that these activities will be recurring on an annual basis and will contribute to a comprehensive approach by BMES to ensure development of a diverse technically competent biomedical engineering workforce.

 描述(由申请人提供)：生物医学工程学会(BMES)致力于开发和使用工程和技术来促进人类的健康和福祉，并培养下一代生物医学工程师来实现这一愿景。创新技术正在发展，医学进步正在迅速发生，而全球问题的复杂性也在增加。为了跟上时代的步伐，迎接挑战，生物医学工程必须培养和发展最优秀的人才，并从各个领域吸引人才。BMES是一个独特的专业协会，在引领生物医学工程学科和塑造未来方面发挥积极作用。除研究和教育专题介绍外，BMES还将通过其年会，为以下方面提供机会：战略网络建设、职业发展和晋升、交流思想、表彰和促进人才、培养和促进优秀专业人才以及扩大服务不足和代表性不足群体的参与。今年会议的主题是“界面的创新”。会议将于2015年10月7日至10日在佛罗里达州坦帕市举行。根据以前的出席记录和提交的摘要，预计2015年会议将有大约4 000人参加。主计划包括19个平行技术计划轨道，提供800多个口头演示和1500多个海报演示。还将举办学生招聘会和见面会，为博士后等早期职业专业人士举办招聘会，以及一系列专业和社会活动，包括会前研讨会、全体讲座和几个特别活动。作为对这一主题的纪念，今年将举行一些会议，专门讨论协作教学和协作研究的未来。协作教学课程将包括基于团队/基于项目的学习以及与非BME合作伙伴合作的挑战。未来的协作研究会议将包括跨学科中心关于什么管用和什么不管用的故事和研究总结，以及资助机会。还将举行一次全体会议，主题是生物医学工程让世界变得更适合所有生物。凯文·卡罗尔，衣架修复术和矫形术 他将讲述他为残疾人开发工程解决方案的工作，以及他为冬季制作假肢尾巴的工作，这只海豚出现在电影A 海豚的故事。这项会议提案寻求资金，以支持专门针对年轻和初级成员(包括在三年内获得生物医学工程或相关科学学位的早期职业和年轻研究人员)、代表性不足的少数群体以及其他服务不足和对协会参与度较低的人的新活动和现有活动。预计这些活动将每年重复进行，并将有助于BMES采取综合办法，以确保发展一支具有各种技术能力的生物医学工程队伍。
