BBSI - BioMEMS Summer Institute at NJIT

该奖项为NIBIB-NSF新泽西理工学院生物工程和生物信息学暑期学院（BBSI）项目的续签提供了为期三年的支持，该项目名为“新泽西理工大学BBSI- biomems暑期学院”，由William C. Hunter博士指导。该研究所将继续为12名本科生和研究生举办为期10周的暑期课程，总共有36名学生参加，为期三年。智力优势：本项目引入了一种新颖的智力成分——工程设计元素。学习设计是工程学的智力核心，也是nibib愿景的核心，即通过技术发展实现医学和医学研究的基本进步模式。该计划将增加在应用于新兴医学领域的微技术方面知识渊博的学生。学生项目将有助于医学诊断、治疗和研究设备的微制造和纳米制造的进步。更广泛的影响：微制造和纳米制造设备可能对广泛的医疗诊断、治疗和研究技术产生潜在的广泛影响。拟议的培训活动将产生广泛的影响，因为它增加了既有微技术知识又有兴趣将其应用于与生物和医学有关的问题的人才。该BBSI项目由美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)/美国国家生物医学成像和生物工程研究所（NIBIB）资助。

This award provides support for a three year continuing award, a renewal of the NIBIB-NSF Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institutes (BBSI) Program at New Jersey Institute of Technology, entitled, "BBSI-BioMEMS Summer Institute at NJIT," under the direction of Dr. William C. Hunter. The Institute will continue to host a ten week summer program for 12 undergraduate and graduate students for a total of 36 students throughout the three year duration of the program.Intellectual Merit: The project introduces a novel intellectual component --the element of engineering design. Learning to design is the intellectual heart of engineering, and it is also the heart of the NIBIB-vision that there is an essential mode of progress in medicine and medical research through technological development. The proposed program will increase the pool of students knowledgeable in microtechnology that is applied to emerging new fields of medicine. Student projects will contribute to the advancement of micro-fabrication and nano-fabrication of devices for Medical diagnosis, therapy, and research.Broader Impacts: The potentially broad impacts that micro-fabricated and nano-fabricated devices are likely to exert on technologies that cover a wide spectrum--for medical diagnosis, therapy, and research. The proposed training activity will exert broad impact by enhancing the pool of talent that has both knowledge of microtechnology and an interest in applying it to biologically and medically relevant problesm.This BBSI program is being funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB).
