DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support of the 2010 EMBS conference, Buenos Aires, Argentina Summary The Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) will hold its annual conference (EMBC) at the Sheraton Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina from August 31 through September 4, 2010. It is expected that more than 1500 scientists, engineers and students will be attending this conference from all over the world. EMBS of the IEEE has been organizing annual conferences of the engineering in medicine and biology society for past 30 years. This has clearly become the flagship conference for the entire bioengineering discipline, bringing together international experts, industry representatives and students in many, diverse fields encompassing biomedical engineering. In keeping with our tradition, the EMBC Student Paper Competition (SPC) is indeed a critical portion of the conference that provides a forum for top-notch students to compete. Such a competition promotes education within bioengineering, encourages excellence, and spotlights prominent student work to the wider bioengineering community. It is believed that such a gathering of students is the best way to help launch careers of future leaders, as they witness and participate in the conference. Without the incentive of this Competition, many students would be unable or less likely to attend the conference, thus missing an introduction to the world of knowledge available at such conferences. In addition, the SPC plays a crucial role in recognizing the talents of women, minorities, and individuals with disability. This Competition promotes not only education within bioengineering disciplines, but fosters the next generation of bioengineers by providing a unique opportunity to students to meet and network with the leading biomedical professionals and scientists in the world. The overall goal of this proposal is to request support for the Student Paper Competition (SPC) for the 2010 EMBS International Conference. Our goals are to organize a competition amongst approximately 150-200 papers expected to be submitted to the SPC, and select up to 25 finalists, who will make highlighted oral presentations during the conference. Finalists will be selected based on the average score from written reviews (normally 2-3 reviews are obtained for each paper). During the Conference Review Process, the student's advisor must submit a nomination form for his/her student's paper to participate in the Competition. First, second, and third place winners will be selected based on the professionalism of the presentation, verbal communication skills, and the technical merit of the topic. Three SPC winners will receive an engraved plaque and an honorarium of US$1000 for the first place winner, US$750 for the second place winner, and US$500 for the third place winner. All Finalists will receive Certificates of Merit and will be recognized at the EMBS Awards Ceremony, with the appropriate acknowledgement of NIH sponsorship. Finalists will receive funds to defray the costs of travel expenses. The proposed funding will help student finalists to travel to present their research paper in the Student Paper Competition. It will also provide the cash prizes for the winners of the Competition and if funds remain, subsidize the attendance of junior faculty researchers. It is believed that such a gathering of students is the best way to help launch careers of future leaders with them witnessing and participating in the exemplary scientific and engineering behavior at the EMB conference. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Support of the 2010 EMBS conference, Buenos Aires, Argentina The Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) will hold its annual conference (EMBC) at the Sheraton Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina from August 31 through September 4, 2010. We request support for the Student Paper Competition (SPC), which we believe to be a most critical element of the conference. Our goals are to organize a competition amongst approximately 150-200 papers expected to be submitted to the SPC, and select up to 25 finalists, who will make highlighted oral presentations during the conference and will receive funds to defray the costs of travel expenses. It is believed that such a gathering of students is the best way to encourage attendance and help launch careers of these future leaders.

说明（由申请人提供）：对 2010 年 EMBS 会议的支持，阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯 摘要 医学与生物学工程学会 (EMBS) 将于 2010 年 8 月 31 日至 9 月 4 日在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯喜来登酒店举行年会 (EMBC)。预计将有超过 1500 名来自世界各地的科学家、工程师和学生参加这次会议。过去 30 年来，IEEE 的 EMBS 一直在组织医学和生物学工程学会的年度会议。这显然已成为整个生物工程学科的旗舰会议，汇聚了生物医学工程等众多不同领域的国际专家、行业代表和学生。秉承我们的传统，EMBC 学生论文竞赛 (SPC) 确实是会议的重要组成部分，为顶尖学生提供了一个竞争的平台。这样的竞赛促进生物工程领域的教育，鼓励卓越，并向更广泛的生物工程界展示杰出的学生作品。人们相信，这样的学生聚会是帮助未来领导者开启职业生涯的最佳方式，因为他们见证并参与了这次会议。如果没有这次比赛的激励，许多学生将无法或不太可能参加会议，从而错过了对此类会议上的知识世界的介绍。此外，SPC 在认可妇女、少数民族和残疾人的才能方面发挥着至关重要的作用。该竞赛不仅促进生物工程学科内的教育，而且通过为学生提供与世界领先的生物医学专业人士和科学家会面和建立联系的独特机会来培养下一代生物工程师。该提案的总体目标是请求支持 2010 年 EMBS 国际会议的学生论文竞赛 (SPC)。我们的目标是在预计提交给 SPC 的约 150-200 篇论文中组织一场竞赛，并选出最多 25 名决赛入围者，他们将在会议期间进行重点口头演讲。决赛入围者将根据书面评论的平均分选出（通常每篇论文获得 2-3 条评论）。在会议评审过程中，学生导师必须提交学生论文参加竞赛的提名表。一、二、三等奖获奖者将根据演讲的专业性、口头沟通技巧和主题的技术优势选出。三名 SPC 获奖者将获得刻牌和第一名获得者 1000 美元、第二名获得者 750 美元、第三名获得者 500 美元的酬金。所有决赛入围者都将获得优异证书，并将在 EMBS 颁奖典礼上获得认可，并得到 NIH 赞助的适当认可。决赛入围者将获得资金来支付差旅费。拟议的资金将帮助学生决赛入围者前往学生论文竞赛中展示他们的研究论文。它还将为竞赛获胜者提供现金奖励，如果资金剩余，则补贴初级教师研究人员的参赛费用。我们相信，这样的学生聚会是帮助未来领导者开启职业生涯的最佳方式，让他们在EMB会议上见证和参与模范的科学和工程行为。 公共卫生相关性：支持 2010 年 EMBS 会议，阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯 医学与生物学工程学会 (EMBS) 将于 2010 年 8 月 31 日至 9 月 4 日在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯喜来登酒店举行年会 (EMBC)。我们请求对学生论文竞赛 (SPC) 的支持，我们认为这是会议最关键的部分。我们的目标是在预计提交给 SPC 的约 150-200 篇论文中组织一场竞赛，选出最多 25 名决赛入围者，他们将在会议期间进行重点口头演讲，并将获得资金来支付差旅费。人们相信，这样的学生聚会是鼓励出席并帮助这些未来领导者开启职业生涯的最佳方式。
