Roundtable on Biomedical Engineering Materials and Applications

0350450 Marechaux生物医学工程材料和应用（BEMA）圆桌会议（BEMA）提供了一个论坛，用于确定应用工程原理创建和改善医用材料和器械（包括植入物）临床性能的主要机会，以及讨论克服技术、法律的障碍的策略，或文化-阻碍新材料和器械向临床应用的过渡。BEMA的成员是工业界、学术界和政府的高级代表。 该圆桌会议是工程和物理科学部国家材料咨询委员会和国家科学院医学研究所健康科学政策计划的联合活动。 圆桌会议不就任何政府机构待决的任何具体问题或政策提供咨询意见或建议。然而，研讨会的程序组成的演讲者介绍可以出版和传播，可以由学院开发的正式研究可能会proposed.The生物医学工程材料和应用圆桌会议（BEMA）的总体目标是：（1）提供一个中立的设置有关生物材料科学，研究和实践问题的信息交流;（2）确定和讨论生物材料及其在医疗器械开发、制造和应用中的使用的一般领域的优先问题;以及（3）开展解决问题和确定问题的活动，例如更深入地解决问题的讲习班。圆桌会议将通过其长期连续性、其审议的非正式性质、挪威难民理事会/移徙组织主持的中立性以及与圆桌会议讨论结果没有直接利害关系的成员的调节影响力，促进实现这些目标。

0350450MarechauxThe Biomedical Engineering Materials and Applications (BEMA) Roundtable (BEMA) provides a forum for identifying major opportunities for applying engineering principles to create and improve clinical performance of medically useful materials and devices, including implants, as well as for discussion of strategies for overcoming obstacles-technical, legal, or cultural-that impede transition of new materials and devices to clinical application. The members of BEMA are high-level representatives of industry, academia and government. The roundtable is a joint activity of the Division of Engineering and Physical Sciences' National Materials Advisory Board and the Institute of Medicine's Health Sciences Policy Program within The Natinal Academies. The roundtable does not provide advice or recommendations on any specific issue or policy pending before any government agency. However, workshop proceedings consisting solely of speaker presentations can be published and disseminated and formal studies that could be developed by the Academy may be proposed.The general objectives of the Biomedical Engineering Materials and Applications Roundtable (BEMA) are to: (1) provide a neutral setting for the exchange of information about issues related to biomaterials science, research, and practice; (2) identify and discuss priority issues in the general areas of biomaterials and their use in the development, manufacture and application of medical devices; and (3) conduct problem-solving and issue-identification activities such as workshops that would address issues in greater depth. The Roundtable will facilitate the achievement of these objectives by its continuity over time, the unofficial nature of its deliberations, the neutrality of the NRC/IOM auspices, and the moderating influence of members who have no immediate stake in the outcome of the Roundtable's discussions.
