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)，这是一个历来以学生为中心的区域会议。该会议将于 2022 年 4 月 23 日至 24 日在纽约市哥伦比亚大学举行。这是新冠疫情大流行后举行的首次面对面 NEBEC 会议，为该领域的本科生和研究生研究人员提供了机会生物医学工程向同行见面并向他们展示他们的研究成果。这次会议的影响力很大，因为它让东北地区没有资金的学生能够参加全国生物医学工程会议，向广大观众展示他们的工作。这个机会将鼓励学生攻读研究生并从事 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，从而使早期职业科学家，特别是经济困难的学生更能负担得起会议的费用。作为一个具有教育下一代生物医学工程本科生、研究生和博士后传统的会议，哥伦比亚大学第 48 届东北生物工程会议将汇集各个生物工程领域的多位领导者，为学生提供信息和启发关于生物医学工程的进展和研究机会。此次会议预计将吸引来自美国东北部地区的超过 450 名与会者，其中 60% 预计是学生。东北地区不同大学的生物医学工程学会和 IEEE 医学与生物学工程学会学生分会正在接触并鼓励学生参与，特别是来自该地区的女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生。青年科学家奖和新锐创新者奖将专门支持早期职业科学家的专业发展。演讲主题包括：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、医疗器械和生物光子学/生物医学成像。计划的其他会议包括高级设计竞赛、未来生物工程师会议以及关于新冠疫情后生物医学工程教育和研究的小组讨论。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持标准。
