Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference

项目摘要 该提案寻求NIH对2022-2024夏季生物力学，生物工程和 生物运输会议（SB 3C）。SB 3C填补了一个重要的利基，提供了一个广泛的基础，中型 会议聚焦生物工程。SB 3C计划包括全体会议，口头和海报会议 涵盖细胞和组织力学、流体力学、生物运输、设计和 康复，固体力学和教育。SB 3C提供互动研讨会，主题包括 专业发展，新颖的教育方法和先进的研究技术。 SB 3C的主要目标是促进最先进的研究，合作和科学 在生物工程中的话语。SB 3C是一个以学生为中心的会议，学生包括约 50%的参与者。所有级别的学生都可以参加学生论文比赛;与 在多元化导师-学员活动或女性网络活动中建立调查员;以及 通过学生领导委员会组织的活动，享受与同龄人的社交互动。 SB 3C授予多样性旅行赠款，使学生从生物力学代表性不足的群体 参加会议，并通过寻求NIH、NSF、 以及工业界和学术界的赞助商。 2022年SB 3C组委会是一个由经验丰富的SB 3C组织者组成的多元化团体， 生物力学的新兴领导者我们将继续成功的科学和多样性计划， 在几个方面进行创新，包括： ·创建一个混合会议，包括面对面的谈话，海报，研讨会，网络和社交活动 以及虚拟内容，包括现场全体讲座和口头会议的录音， 还有网上的海报 ·向社区学院的教师和学生宣传会议及其内容，主要是 本科院校和历史悠久的黑人学院和大学。我们将组织 这些与会者和现场会议的参与者之间的网络会话， 加强研究生院管道的多样性。 该提案的具体目的是支持学生参与SB 3C 2022-2024，目标是 增加来自传统上代表性不足的群体的学生人数， 生物工程我们寻求NIH的财政支持，以减少学生的虚拟内容注册费 不能亲自参加会议的人。我们有信心，我们可以创造一个高品质的人 会议提供高质量的虚拟内容，这将为未来的混合会议提供一个模式。

PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal seeks NIH support for the 2022-2024 Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conferences (SB3C). SB3C fills an important niche by providing a broad based, mid-sized meeting focused on bioengineering. The SB3C program includes plenary, oral, and poster sessions covering scientific content in Cell and Tissue Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Biotransport, Design and Rehabilitation, Solid Mechanics, and Education. SB3C offers interactive workshops on topics including professional development, novel educational approaches, and advanced research techniques. The primary objective of SB3C is to promote state-of-the-art research, collaboration, and scientific discourse in bioengineering. SB3C is a student-focused conference, with students comprising around 50% of attendees. Students at all levels can participate in the Student Paper Competition; network with established investigators at the Diversity Mentor-Mentee Event or the Women’s Networking Event; and enjoy social interactions with peers through activities organized by the Student Leadership Committee. SB3C awards Diversity Travel Grants to enable students from underrepresented groups in biomechanics to attend the conference and also keeps student registration fees low by seeking support from NIH, NSF, and industry and academic sponsors. The 2022 SB3C Organizing Committee is a diverse group of experienced SB3C organizers and emerging leaders in biomechanics. We will continue successful scientific and diversity programs and innovate in several ways , including: • Creating a hybrid meeting with in-person talks, posters, workshops, networking and social events as well as virtual content, including recordings of in-person plenary lectures and oral sessions as well as online posters. • Advertising the meeting and its content to faculty and students at community colleges, primarily undergraduate institutions, and historically black colleges and universities. We will organize networking sessions between these attendees and participants from the in-person conference to enhance diversity in the graduate school pipeline. The specific aim of this proposal is to support student participation in SB3C 2022-2024, with the goal of increasing the number of student attendees who come from groups traditionally underrepresented in bioengineering. We seek financial support from NIH to reduce virtual content registration fees for students who cannot attend the in-person conference. We are confident that we can create a high-quality in-person conference with high-quality virtual content, which will provide a model for future hybrid conferences.
