0902139麦戈伦该项目将支持2009年5月15日至17日在佛罗里达州迈阿密举行的第25届南方生物医学工程会议（SBEC）（由佛罗里达国际大学主办）。 SBEC旨在聚集生物医学工程的学生，研究人员，临床医生和行业领导者，以传播这一快速发展领域的信息。 SBEC将提供一个多学科的教育论坛，讨论生物医学工程领域的新思想和未来概念。 SBEC服务于一个特殊的目的，通过为学生提供机会，通过学生论文比赛来展示他们的研究，鼓励学生参与。 为了强调学生的参与，SBEC还计划根据论文比赛和演讲的表现颁发学生奖。 此外，该项目将赞助学生注册费和出版支持。 由于场地的位置，会议预计将有更高的西班牙裔和拉丁美洲学生的参与。会议将具有很大的教育意义，并将激励生物医学工程领域的初级研究人员和学生。 这次会议还将促进美国与南美洲和中美洲科学家之间的互动，以影响该地区和国家。

0902139McGoronThis project will support the 25th Southern Biomedical Engineering Conference (SBEC) to be held May 15-17, 2009 in Miami FL (hosted by Florida International University). The SBEC aims to assemble students, researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders in Biomedical Engineering to disseminate information in this rapidly growing field. The SBEC will provide a multidisciplinary, educational forum for discussing new ideas and future concepts in the field of Biomedical Engineering. The SBEC serves a special purpose of encouraging student participation by providing opportunities for students to present their research through a student paper competition. In keeping with the emphasis on student participation, the SBEC also plans to present student awards based on performances in both paper competitions and presentations. Additionally, this project will sponsor student registration fees and publication support. Due to the venue's location, the conference is expected to have higher Hispanic and Latino student participation. The conference will be of great educational benefit and will inspire junior researchers and students within the Biomedical Engineering field. This meeting will also promote the interaction among US and South and Central American scientists to impact the region and the nation.
