BioSensing-BioActuation (BSBA) is a compelling new research frontier that will have profound impact on both engineering and biology in sensing/actuation science and technologies. This project establishes a series of three Summer Institutes on BSBA (SI-BSBA) for early career researchers and graduate students from the U.S. and Taiwan. SI-BSBA is jointly organized by the PI and Professor Shuo-Hung Chang of National Taiwan University and is funded in the U.S. by the National Science Foundation and in Taiwan by the National Science Council. The goals of the Summer Institute are to provide a platform for researchers from a diverse background to exchange ideas in the BSBA area, to train students and researchers in the highly interdisciplinary BSBA area who are knowledgeable in both engineering and biology, and to promote international collaborations in the BSBA area between researchers in the US and in Asian Pacific region. Each institute will include approximately twenty students/early career researchers from each side. SI-BSBA activities include a 2-week Summer Institute on BSBA alternately held in the US and in Taiwan. Experts in the BSBA area from engineering and biology will be invited to give lectures on the basics of sensing/actuation technologies and fundamentals of biology, as well as on the state-of-the-art research topics. Hands-on laboratory training of basic engineering tools such as micro- and nano-fabrication, basic tools from cellular level to organism level studies, and BSBA components such as neuron-networks and computational tools will be conducted. The impact of SI-BSBA will be significant and far-reaching, including developing new research tools, transforming the existing research methodologies, and potentially leading to solutions to some of the biggest challenges in society such as the environment, healthcare, sensor networks, and multi-functional materials. Furthermore, the international experiences of the participants will be extremely valuable to the next generation of US scientists and researchers. The Engineering Directorate Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation cofunded this award with the Office of International Science & Engineering.

生物传感生物措施（BSBA）是一个引人入胜的新研究领域，将对传感/驱动科学和技术中的工程和生物学产生深远的影响。该项目为来自美国和台湾的早期职业研究人员和研究生建立了BSBA（SI-BSBA）的三个夏季研究所。 Si-BSBA由PI和国立台湾大学的Shu-Hung Chang教授共同组织，并由国家科学基金会在美国和国家科学委员会在台湾资助。夏季研究所的目标是为来自不同背景的研究人员提供一个平台，以在BSBA地区交换想法，培训高度跨学科的BSBA地区的学生和研究人员，他们在工程和生物学方面知识渊博，并促进国际合作在美国和亚洲太平洋地区研究人员之间的BSBA地区。 每个学院将包括大约二十名学生/早期职业研究人员。 Si-BSBA的活动包括在美国和台湾举行的2周夏季研究所。工程和生物学的BSBA领域的专家将被邀请为感应/驱动技术和生物学的基础以及最先进的研究主题提供讲座。将进行基本工程工具的实验实验室培训，例如微型和纳米制作，从细胞水平到有机体水平研究的基本工具以及BSBA组件，例如神经元网络工作和计算工具。 Si-BSBA的影响将是重要且深远的，包括开发新的研究工具，改变现有的研究方法，并有可能导致解决社会中一些最大挑战的解决方案，例如环境，医疗保健，传感器网络和多功能材料。此外，参与者的国际经验将对下一代美国科学家和研究人员非常有价值。国际科学与工程办公室的工程局民用，机械和制造创新部门获得了该奖项。
