This award supports the 48th annual Northeast Bioengineering Conference (NEBEC), a regional conference that is historically student-centered. The conference will be held at Columbia University, New York City, New York, April 23-24, 2022. This is the first in-person NEBEC conference after the COVID pandemic and provides an opportunity to undergraduate and graduate student researchers in the field of biomedical engineering to meet and present their research to their peers. The conference has been impactful because it allows students in the Northeast region who do not have the funding to attend a national biomedical engineering meeting to present their work to a broad audience. This opportunity will encourage students to pursue graduate school and pursue a STEM career. The award will support a reduction in registration fees for undergraduate students and postdoc fellows, thus making the conference even more affordable to early career scientists, especially financially disadvantaged students. As a conference with a strong tradition for educating the next generation of undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows in biomedical engineering, the 48th Northeast Bioengineering Conference at Columbia University will bring together a number of leaders in various bioengineering fields to inform and inspire students about progress and research opportunities in the biomedical engineering. The conference expects to attract more than 450 attendees from around the Northeast region of the United States, with 60% of which expected to be students. The Biomedical Engineering Society and IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Student Chapters at different universities in the Northeast region are reaching out and encouraging participation by students, especially female and under-represented minority students from the region. Young Scientist Awards and New Innovator Award will be given to specifically support professional development of early career scientists. Themes of the presentations will include the following: Neural Engineering, Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering, Biomechanics, Tissue Engineering, Synthetic Biology, Computational Biology/Bioinformatics, Medical Devices, and Biophotonics / Biomedical Imaging. Additional sessions planned include a senior design competition, Future Bioengineer session, and a panel discussion about biomedical engineering education and research after COVID.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.

该奖项支持第48届年度东北生物工程会议（NEBEC），这是一个以学生为中心的区域会议。该会议将于2022年4月23日至24日在纽约纽约市哥伦比亚大学举行。这是在Covid Pandemic之后的首次面对面的NEBEC会议，并为生物医学工程领域的本科和研究生研究人员提供了机会，以与他们的同龄人见面并介绍他们的研究。会议之所以有影响力，是因为它允许没有资金的东北地区的学生参加国家生物医学工程会议，向广泛的受众展示他们的工作。这个机会将鼓励学生攻读研究生院并从事STEM职业。该奖项将支持减少本科生和博士后研究员的注册费，从而使会议对早期职业科学家，尤其是财务不利的学生更加负担得起。作为一个具有牢固传统的会议，以教育下一代的本科生，研究生和生物医学工程的博士后研究员，在哥伦比亚大学举行的东北第48届东北生物工程会议会议将在各种生物工程领域的许多领导者聚集在一起，以向学生提供有关生物医学工具的进步和研究机会。该会议预计将吸引来自美国东北地区周围的450多名与会者，其中60％预计将是学生。东北地区不同大学的医学和生物学协会的生物医学工程协会和IEEE工程章节正在伸出援手，并鼓励学生，尤其是该地区的女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生的参与。年轻的科学家奖和新的创新奖将获得专门支持早期职业科学家的专业发展。演讲的主题将包括以下内容：神经工程，细胞和分子生物工程，生物力学，组织工程，合成生物学，计算生物学 /生物信息学，医学设备以及生物植物 /生物医学成像。计划的其他课程包括高级设计竞赛，未来的生物工程会议以及Covid之后的生物医学工程教育和研究的小组讨论。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来进行评估。
