2014 Summer Bioengineering Conference/World Congress of Biomechanics - Student Participation

PI：Grimm，Michele J.提案编号：1417109机构：韦恩州立大学标题：2014夏季生物工程会议/世界生物力学大会-学生参与；7月6-11日，波士顿，Mathis提案寻求支持学生参加由美国机械工程师协会(ASME)生物工程部(BED)主办的2014夏季生物工程大会(SBC)。会议将于2014年7月6日至11日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行。今年，SBC将与第七届世界生物力学大会(WCB)同时举行。夏季生物工程会议和世界生物力学大会都是备受推崇的会议，具有出色的技术内容和丰富的网络机会。会议的特色包括全体讲座、学生比赛、经过同行审查的前沿演讲和海报。科学计划委员会和到目前为止预定的主旨演讲者包括组织工程和再生医学领域的国内和国际公认的专家。今年，将发起一个以神经功能失效分析和增强为重点的研讨会。本次研讨会将由ASME设计、设备与康复和组织与细胞工程技术小组联合举办，并将通过奥巴马政府的S脑研究推进创新神经技术(BRAN)计划来应对挑战。受资助的学生将被特别鼓励参加这次研讨会，它增强了会议的科学内容，并为与会者，包括学生，提供了接触这一令人兴奋和具有挑战性的研究领域的机会。与会者包括来自不同学科的工程师和科学家。因此，这次会议使不同背景的科学家能够交流思想，并发挥着重要的交流作用。会议组织者特别注意有针对性地增加学生和青年调查人员、妇女、代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人的参与。

PI: Grimm, Michele J. Proposal Number: 1417109Institution: Wayne State University Title: 2014 Summer Bioengineering Conference/World Congress of Biomechanics - Student Participation; July 6-11, Boston, MAThis proposal seeks support for students to attend the 2014 Summer Bioengineering Conference (SBC) sponsored by the Bioengineering Division (BED) of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The conference will be held July 6-11, 2014, in Boston, MA. This year, the SBC will be held in conjunction with the 7th World Congress of Biomechanics (WCB). Both the Summer Bioengineering Conference and World Congress of Biomechanics are highly regarded conferences with excellent technical content and offering ample networking opportunities. Features of the conferences include plenary lectures, student competitions, and cutting-edge presentations and posters that are peer-reviewed. The Scientific Program Committee and the thus far scheduled Keynote Speakers include nationally and internationally recognized experts in the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine field. This year, a Symposium Focused on Neural Functionality Failure Analysis and Augmentation will be initiated. This Symposium will be organized jointly by the ASME Design, Device, & Rehabilitation and Tissue & Cellular Engineering Technical Groups, and it will address the challenges posed through the Obama administration?s Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) initiative. Funded students will be specifically encouraged to attend this Symposium, which enhances the scientific content of the conference and offers attendees, including students, the opportunity to be exposed to this exciting and challenging area of research. Conference attendees include engineers and scientists from various disciplines. Thus, the conference enables exchange of ideas among scientists with different backgrounds and serves an important cross-fertilization role. The conference organizers pay special attention toward increasing participation of students and young investigators, women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities with targeted efforts.
