International: US-China Undergraduate Research Experience in Biomedical Engineering

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这是授予佐治亚理工学院美国私家侦探Paul Benkeser的国际学生研究经验（IRES）奖。该奖学金将使来自生物医学工程合作项目的8名美国本科生在北京大学获得该领域的研究经验。生物医学工程合作项目是由佐治亚理工学院、埃默里大学和北京大学联合成立的，旨在结合他们的专业知识来解决生物医学工程中的难题。这是一个为期一年的项目，学生在春季和秋季学期在美国实验室和北京大学进行研究。生物医学工程实验室在夏季学期。知识价值。佐治亚理工学院、埃默里大学和北京大学结合他们的专业知识来解决生物医学工程中的难题。这个提议的机会将允许不同的本科生群体与科学家和工程师一起发展他们的研究技能，这些科学家和工程师的观点包括全球科学和技术互动。更广泛的影响。该项目将为参与的美国本科生提供国际研究经验，使他们能够以全球视角看待生物医学工程领域的研究挑战和机遇。拟议的活动特别注重招募和保留代表性不足的少数民族和妇女，以确保这些群体在该方案中有充分的代表性。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This is an International Research Experience for Students (IRES) award to U.S. P.I. Paul Benkeser, Georgia Institute of Technology. This award will enable 8 U.S. undergraduate students from the Biomedical Engineering Partnership Program to gain research experience at Peking University in this field. The Biomedical Engineering Partnership Program was formed by the Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory University, and Peking University to combine their expertise to solve difficult problems in biomedical engineering. This is a year-long program, with the students engaged in research in the U.S. laboratories during the spring and fall semester and in Peking University?s biomedical engineering laboratories during the summer term.Intellectual merit. The Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory University, and Peking University combine their expertise to solve difficult problems in biomedical engineering. This proposed opportunity will allow a diverse group of undergraduate students to develop their research skills with scientists and engineers whose perspectives include global scientific and technological interactions. Broader impact. This program will provide the participating U.S. undergraduate students with an international research experience that will give them a global perspective on research challenges and opportunities in biomedical engineering. The proposed activity has focused specific attention on recruitment and retention of under-represented minorities and women to ensure these groups are well represented in this program.
