The Roles of Bioengineering in the Future of Health -- Symposium Grant

该奖项将资助10名参与者的费用， 美国医学和生物工程研究所（AIMBE） 世界卫生组织年会将讨论科学和技术问题 话题 这次会议将于三月三十日在华盛顿举行 1993年8月9日。 会议的主题将包括：1） 美国医疗保健透视; 2）医疗保健经济学 3）信息和通信技术， （4）未来的生物医学技术。 的领域 将在这次会议上讨论， 美国国家科学基金会/惠特克基金会赞助的研讨会的建议 关于减少医疗保健的技术。 这是一个领域， 感兴趣的生物工程计划在NSF和一个， 正在探讨进一步强调的可能性。 会议 应该有助于刺激工程界的研究， 这是全国关注的问题。

This award will fund the expenses of ten participants of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) annual meeting who will address scientific and technological topics. This conference will be held in Washington, DC on March 8-9, 1993. The topics of the conference will include: 1) Perspectives on Health Care in America; 2) Health Care Economics and Management; 3) Information and Communication Technologies in Health Care; 4) Future Biomedical Technologies. The areas that will be addressed by this conference emerged from the recommendations of a NSF/Whitaker Foundation sponsored workshop on Technologies for Health Care Reduction. This is an area of interest to the Bioengineering programs in NSF and one which the possibility of further emphasis is being explored. The meeting should help stimulate research by the engineering community into this area of national concern.
