Symposium - Frontiers in BioMagnetic Particles II

ID：MPS/DMR/BMAT(7623)1123052 PI：Mford，O.Thompson ORG：Clemson University标题：研讨会--生物磁性领域的前沿特长：建议举办一次为期三天的关于磁性粒子的表征和控制的研讨会。它们在与生物材料计划相关的治疗和诊断应用中有多种用途。这笔资金将用于支持研究生、博士后学生和教职员工的旅行奖励，包括那些来自代表性不足群体的学生。磁性载体是一种独特的纳米材料，具有广泛的生物医学、环境和技术影响。这次活动将把科学家、工程师、医学专业人士和项目经理聚集在一起，讨论这一快速发展和高度跨学科的领域。磁性粒子是一种使各种生物医学、化学、电子和功能材料研究成为可能的技术，因为它们提供了操纵和检测纳米结构的独特手柄。更广泛的影响：来自NSF的资金将用于支持对早期研究人员的财政援助，否则他们可能无法参加这次会议。将优先资助参加第一次全国会议的研究生、作口头报告的初级教员以及属于代表性不足群体的研究人员。为了提高学生的兴趣，研讨会的广告中将描述潜在的学生旅行资金的存在。此外，本次会议的两位组织者都是处于职业生涯早期的初级教员。由于这一领域尤其受益于化学、生物、物理和工程学思想的交叉培养，研讨会将创造一个技术和社会环境，来自不同学科的与会者可以在其中讨论研究趋势并形成富有成效的合作。

ID: MPS/DMR/BMAT(7623) 1123052 PI: Mefford, O. Thompson ORG: Clemson UniversityTitle: Symposium -- Frontiers in Biomagnetic ParticlesINTELLECTUAL MERIT: It is proposed to conduct a three-day symposium on the characterization and control of magnetic particles. They have a variety of uses in therapeutic and diagnostic applications relevant to the Biomaterials program. The funds will be used to support travel awards for graduate students, postdoctorals students, and faculty, including those from underrepresented groups. Magnetic carriers are unique nano-materials with a wide range of biomedical, environmental, and technological impacts. This event will bring scientists, engineers, medical professionals, and program managers together to discuss this rapidly growing and highly interdisciplinary field. Magnetic particles are an enabling technology for a wide variety of biomedical, chemical, electronic, and functional materials research, because they provide a unique handle to manipulate and sense nanostructures. BROADER IMPACTS: Funding from NSF will be used to support financial assistance to early-stage researchers who may otherwise be unable to attend this meeting. Funding priority will be given to graduate students attending their first national meeting, junior faculty giving an oral presentation, and researchers belonging to underrepresented groups. The existence of potential funding for student travel will be described in advertisements for the symposium to enhance student interest. In addition, both organizers of this meeting are junior faculty in the early stages of their careers. Because this field benefits especially well from cross-fertilization of ideas from chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering, the symposium will create a technical and social environment in which participants from diverse disciplines can discuss trends in research and form fruitful collaborations.
