2019-2021 Graduate Student Support for the Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering and Biotransport (SB3C) Conference

计划摘要 2019夏季生物力学、生物工程和生物运输大会(SB3C)将在北京举行 宾夕法尼亚州的七泉度假村。SB3C基金会提出这项资金申请的目的 是在未来3年(2019、2020)增加学生参加SB3C会议的人数 和2021年)，包括女性和URM学生。SB3C年度会议通常在每年夏天举行 在美国，除了每隔4年我们经常与世界大会在同一地点 生物力学。这项建议的主要目标是降低毕业生的注册成本 参加这次会议的学生，特别是那些女性和代表不足的少数群体(URM)。 Alisa Morss Clyne博士是我们的项目主席，她正忙于准备一个杰出的科学项目， 将包括300多个口头演示和300个海报演示。女研究生和URM研究生 获得此计划的奖项将参加多元化导师-学员活动(DMME)，该活动的 目的是为这些学生提供一个轻松和非正式的环境，在那里他们可以得到指导和 与致力于生物工程领域的世界领导者建立联系的机会。

Program Summary The 2019 Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference (SB3C) will be held in Seven Springs Resort, in Pennsylvania. The purpose of this funding request from the SB3C Foundation is to increase student attendance and participation at the SB3C meetings for the next 3 years (2019, 2020 and 2021), including female and URM students. The annual SB3C meeting is typically held each summer in the US, except for every 4th year when we often times co-locate with the World Congress on Biomechanics. The primary objective of this proposal is to reduce the registration costs of graduate students attending this meeting, especially those that are female and underrepresented minorities (URM). Dr. Alisa Morss Clyne is our Program Chair and is busy preparing an outstanding scientific program that will include more than 300 oral and 300 poster presentations. Female and URM graduate students receiving awards from this proposal will participate in a Diversity Mentor-Mentee Event (DMME) whose purpose is to provide a relaxed and informal environment where these students have mentoring and networking opportunities with dedicated world leaders in the bioengineering field.
