2015 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting, Tampa FL, October 7-11, 2015

PI：哈特，理查德T. 提案编号：1540055该提案旨在资助学生，博士后研究员，早期职业教师和专业人员的旅行，包括代表性不足的群体和残疾人，参加2015年生物医学工程学会年会。 2015年BMES年会将于2015年10月7日至11日在佛罗里达州坦帕举行，它将以19个平行的技术计划轨道为特色，重点关注“界面创新”的总体主题。“BMES年会是生物医学工程最新进展的科学分享和传播的主要工具，也是生命科学和工程技术之间重要交叉施肥的促进者，促进了生物医学工程实践中的多学科方法。 旅行奖将为年轻的研究人员和来自代表性不足的群体的研究人员提供参加年会的机会，了解生物医学工程的最新科学和技术进展，并参加专注于健康差异的计划和特别会议，促进和维持生物医学工程和赠款写作的创新研究。 申请的资金将专门用于抵消学生，早期职业专业人士和会议参与者的差旅费和注册费，并支持学生研究和设计奖，学生旅行奖以及生物医学创新和职业发展旅行奖。 这些奖项的获得者将通过由适当的BMES委员会组织和运行的竞争过程进行选择。本次会议提案中的一部分资金将用于使更多来自代表性不足群体的学生参与，包括种族和少数民族以及传统上参与BMES机会有限的其他人。

PI: Hart, Richard T. Proposal Number: 1540055This proposal seeks funding to support travel for students, postdoctoral fellows, early career faculty and professionals, inclusive of underrepresented groups and accessible to persons with disabilities, to participate in the 2015 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting. The 2015 BMES Annual Meeting will be held in Tampa FL, October 7-11, 2015, and it will feature 19 parallel technical Program Tracks focused on the overall theme of "Innovation at the Interface." The BMES Annual Meeting serves as a primary vehicle for scientific sharing and dissemination of the latest advances in biomedical engineering, as well as a facilitator of important cross-fertilizations between the life sciences and engineering technologies, which foster a multi-disciplinary approach in the practice of Biomedical Engineering. The travel awards will afford the opportunity for young investigators and investigators from underrepresented groups to attend the Annual Meeting, be informed on the latest scientific and technological advances in Biomedical Engineering, and participate in programs and special sessions focused on health disparities and promoting and sustaining innovative research in biomedical engineering and grant writing. The requested funds will specifically be used to offset travel costs and registration fees for students, early career professionals and session participants and to support the Students Research and Design Awards, Student Travel Awards, and the Biomedical Innovation and Career Development Travel Awards. The recipients of these awards will be selected through competitive processes organized and run by appropriate BMES Committees. A portion of the funds from this conference proposal will be used to enable the participation of more students from underrepresented groups to include racial and ethnic minorities and others who traditionally have limited opportunities to participate in BMES.
