Non-Technical Description:This award will support a symposium at the 2022 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Annual Meeting, entitled “Biomaterials Area 8B: Broadening Participation in Biomaterials”. The event will be held November 13-18, 2022, at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The AIChE 8B Biomaterials area serves to provide a forum for researchers from academia and industry to share recent advances on the design, synthesis, and engineering of materials that interface with live, biological elements. This research area has applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound healing, and disease modeling. This area of the AIChE Annual meeting will host approximately 120 oral and poster presentations, from a combination of graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, faculty, and industry scientists. In this context, NSF funds will support the development of a new research forum to promote excellence in biomaterials research and enhance participation of undergraduate students from minoritized groups. The symposium will host an informal meeting at the full conference to develop future initiatives for broadening participation at all levels. These efforts align with the IDEAL (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Anti-Racism, and Learning) initiative recently adopted by AIChE. Technical Description:This award will support a symposium at the 2022 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Annual Meeting, entitled “Biomaterials Area 8B: Broadening Participation in Biomaterials,” to be November 13-18, 2022, at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The objectives of the annual meeting are to: 1) communicate current and emerging progress in biomaterials design and properties, 2) provide a venue for biomaterials researchers to connect and exchange ideas from a chemical engineering perspective, 3) promote opportunities for graduate students and post-doctoral scholars to share their work and advance their professional goals, and 4) interface with other chemical engineering-oriented subfields to enhance the scientific depth of biomaterials research. Research contributions include biomaterials development for controlling cell behavior, interacting with microbes, engineering nascent tissues, and controlling release of therapeutics. Relevant material platforms include hydrogels, particles, macroscopic platforms, polymers, peptides, and biomimetics. These technical areas will foster advances in biomaterials research for applications in health that serve diverse groups.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.

非技术描述：该奖项将支持 2022 年美国化学工程师学会 (AIChE) 年会的题为“生物材料领域 8B：扩大生物材料的参与”的研讨会，该活动将于 2022 年 11 月 13 日至 18 日在位于亚利桑那州菲尼克斯的菲尼克斯会议中心 AIChE 8B 生物材料领域为学术界和工业界的研究人员提供了一个分享最新进展的论坛。 AIChE 年会的这一领域将举办约 120 场口头会议，该领域的研究领域包括与活体生物元件交互的材料的设计、合成和工程。在此背景下，国家科学基金会的资金将支持一个新的研究论坛的发展，以促进生物材料研究的卓越性并增强本科生的参与。少数群体 研讨会将举办在全体会议上召开非正式会议，制定扩大各级参与的未来举措，这些努力与 AIChE 最近通过的 IDEAL（包容性、多样性、公平、反种族主义和学习）举措保持一致。支持将于 11 月 13 日至 18 日在 2022 年美国化学工程师学会 (AIChE) 年会上举办题为“生物材料领域 8B：扩大生物材料的参与”的研讨会， 2022 年，在亚利桑那州凤凰城的菲尼克斯会议中心举行，年会的目标是：1) 交流生物材料设计和性能方面当前和新兴的进展，2) 为生物材料研究人员提供一个交流和交流化学观点的场所。工程角度，3）为研究生和博士后学者提供分享工作和推进职业目标的机会，4）与其他化学工程导向的子领域结合，以提高生物材料研究的科学深度。研究贡献包括生物材料开发。用于控制细胞行为、与微生物相互作用、改造新生组织以及控制治疗药物的释放。相关材料平台包括水凝胶、颗粒、宏观平台、聚合物、肽和仿生学，这些技术领域将促进生物材料研究在健康领域的应用。这反映了 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标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
