2019 Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES)-National Science Foundation (NSF) Special Sessions

BMES年会是高度跨学科的，是生物医学工程界的首次会议，为BME领域的领先研究人员，专业人士，领导者和学生提供发现和教育的最前沿编程。BMES年会是举办BMES-NSF特别会议的理想场所，以尽可能广泛地参与，并激发教师，学生和专业人士之间的对话，问答和新的指导关系。&这些特别会议将使观众参与者获得更多的NSF赞助的研究机会，更好地了解如何准备成功的BME赠款提案，并为参与者提供一个互相学习的地方作为导师和同事。两个会议正在计划：1）BMES-NSF特别会议职业和UNSOLICITED奖：这个BMES-NSF赞助的特别会议预计将在2019年10月18日星期五举行的2019年BMES年会上举行。会议的目标是汇集NSF生物工程和工程医疗补助金获得者，年轻的研究人员，初级和高级教师，以及博士后学员的想法交流和网络有关进行和资助BME的前沿研究。2）BMES-NSF研究生研究奖学金计划特别会议（GRFP）：这个BMES-NSF赞助的特别会议预计将于2019年10月19日星期六在2019年BMES年会上举行。会议的目标是将项目官员、受资助者、评审员和研究生聚集在一起，突出NSF GRFP，并向本科生和研究生介绍GFRP指导方针和策略，以制定获奖的GRFP资助提案。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响评审标准进行评估来支持。

The BMES Annual Meeting is highly interdisciplinary and is the premiere conference for the Biomedical Engineering community, offering programming at the forefront of discovery and education to leading researchers, professionals, leaders and students in the BME field. The BMES Annual Meeting is an ideal venue to hold the BMES-NSF Special Sessions to engage the broadest possible participation, and to stimulate conversations, questions & answers, and new mentoring relationships across faculty, students and professionals. These Special Sessions will allow audience participants to gain a greater awareness of NSF-sponsored research opportunities, attain a better understanding of how to prepare successful BME grant proposals, and offer participants a place to learn from each other as mentors and colleagues.Two sessions are planning:1) BMES-NSF Special Session on CAREER and UNSOLICITED Awards: This BMES-NSF sponsored Special Session is expected to be held at the 2019 BMES Annual Meeting on Friday, October 18, 2019. The goal of the session is to bring together NSF Bioengineering and Engineering Healthcare grantees, young investigators, junior and senior faculty, and postdoctoral trainees for idea exchange and networking related to conducting and funding cutting-edge research in BME.2) BMES-NSF Special Session on Graduate Research Fellowships Program (GRFP): This BMES-NSF sponsored Special Session is expected to be held at the 2019 BMES Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 19, 2019. The goal of the session is to bring together program officers, grantees, reviewers and graduate students to highlight the NSF GRFP and inform undergraduate and graduate students on GFRP guidelines and strategies to develop winning GRFP grant proposals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
