PROJECT SUMMARY This proposal seeks NIH support for the 2023-2025 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 diversity mentorship, professional development, novel educational approaches, and advanced research techniques. The mission of SB3C is to promote state-of-the-art research, collaboration, scientific discourse, and enhance diversity in bioengineering. SB3C is a student-focused conference, with students typically comprising over 50% of attendees. Students at all levels can participate in the Student Paper Competition; network with established investigators at the Diversity Mentor-Mentee Workshop 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 keeps student registration fees low by seeking support from NIH, NSF, and industry and academic sponsors. The 2023 SB3C Organizing Committee is a diverse group of experienced SB3C organizers and emerging leaders in bioengineering. We will continue successful scientific and diversity programs and innovate in several ways. The specific aim of this proposal is to support student participation in SB3C 2023-2025, 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 maintain low registration fees for students who cannot otherwise attend the in-person conference. We are confident that we can create a high-quality in-person conference with high-quality virtual content.
