2017 Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES)-National Scinece Foundation (NSF) Special Sessions

该奖项将支持两个与NSF资助有关的特别会议：“BMES-NSF关于职业和非应邀奖励的特别会议”和？BMES-NSF关于研究生研究奖学金计划的特别会议。这两次会议都不在2017年10月11日至14日在亚利桑那州凤凰城举行的生物医学工程学会年会的常规计划之外。这笔资金将用于宣传、召集和记录会议，并抵消NSF获奖者(3名研究补助金和4名GRFP获奖者)和评审员(5名)的旅费和注册费，他们将担任新手和新手研究人员的演讲者、小组成员和潜在的导师/合作者。职业/未经请求的会议借鉴了自2013年以来在脆弱海洋生态系统年会上举行的类似会议的成功经验。GRFP课程是在去年S学员的反馈后增加的，他们表示对这个以学生为中心的项目特别感兴趣。2017年的BMES会议将有19个项目轨道，主题是“工程个性化药物和疗法”。预计将有大约800次口头陈述、1600次海报陈述和4,000多名与会者。BMES年会是科学分享和传播生物医学工程最新进展的主要工具，也是生命科学和工程技术之间重要交叉交流的促进者，促进了生物医学工程实践中的多学科方法。以研究资助为重点的会议将持续3个小时，展示NSF资助的研究和研究人员(2名职业获奖者和1名非职业获奖者)、网络招待会、关于制定成功的NSF BME赠款的基本要素的教程，以及互动赠款撰写和提交小组讨论，将于2017年10月13日举行。以GRFP为重点的会议将于2017年10月14日举行，长达2个小时。它将涉及4名过去的GRFP获奖者，他们来自不同的研究生和本科生机构，以及过去的GRFP小组成员。两场会议都将包括与观众进行问答的时间。这两次会议的录音都将张贴在BMES网站上，供点播观看。

This award will support two special sessions related to NSF funding: "BMES-NSF Special Session on CAREER and Unsolicited Awards" and ?BMES-NSF Special Session on Graduate Research Fellowships Program.? Both of these sessions are outside of the regular program of the Annual Meeting of the Biomedical Engineering Society being held in Phoenix, AZ, October 11-14, 2017. The funding will be used to promote, convene and record the session and offset travel costs and registration fees for NSF awardees (3 research grant and 4 GRFP) and reviewers (5) who will serve as presenters, panelists, and potential mentors/collaborators for novice and emerging investigators. The CAREER/Unsolicited session builds on the success of similar sessions held at BMES annual meetings since 2013. The GRFP session was added after feedback from last year?s participants indicating a specific interest in this student-focused program. The 2017 BMES meeting will feature 19 Program Tracks with the theme "Engineering Personalized Medicine and Therapies." Approximately 800 oral presentations, 1600 poster presentations and over 4,000 participants are anticipated. 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 research grant focused session will be a 3 hour session, featuring presentations showcasing NSF funded research and researchers (2 CAREER awardees and 1 non-CAREER awardee), a Networking Reception, a Tutorial on Essential Elements to Develop a Successful NSF BME Grant, and an Interactive Grant Writing and Submission Panel Discussion, will be held on October 13, 2017. The GRFP-focused session will be 2 hours in length and will be held on October 14, 2017. It will involve 4 past GRFP recipients, from diverse graduate and undergraduate institutions, as well as past GRFP panelists. Both sessions will include time for Q&A with the audience. Both recorded sessions will be posted on the BMES website for on demand viewing.
