DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The American Society of Biomechanics is the primary society for biomechanics research in the United States. The Society's annual meeting brings together an interdisciplinary group of scientists applying mechanical principles to biological problems, both basic and applied. The 2012 annual meeting, (held on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, FL), is being hosted by the biomechanics faculty of the University of Florida. The meeting will feature a variety of activities designed to foster lively interchange of ideas, including podium presentations, keynote lectures, poster presentations, topical tutorials, and laboratory tours. Meeting attendance is anticipated to exceed 600 delegates, of which more than half are expected to be students. Student participation and mentoring are priorities for the Society. Also, mechanisms have been established to specifically encourage and support the participation of women and underrepresented minorities. The 2012 meeting will include a one-one mentoring program, student award sessions, and luncheons to provide a forum for the discussion of career strategies and issues for women and minorities, as well as social events that will serve to engage student participants. An innovation for this year's meeting is the collaboration with the Center for Pre Collegiate Education and Training (UF-CPET) at the University of Florida. The UF-CPET promotes and supports the use of the facilities and faculty of the university in the preparation and enhancement of science and technology education at the secondary education level. Financial support by this R13 proposal will allow 25 high school students from UF-CPET's Summer Student Science Training Program (SSTP) to attend the meeting to present their summer research and will afford us the ability to live stream the podium and keynote talks to all participants in the SSTP program. Further, funding of this proposal will foster participation of underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, and women in the 2012 meeting. Thus, the requested funds will ensure that the meeting is available to the widest possible student audience and will enhance the exposure of biomechanics to talented high school students which will we hope will stimulate interest in science-related careers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The American Society of Biomechanics is the primary scientific organization for biomechanics research in the United States. The annual meeting will be hosted by the biomechanics faculty of the University of Florida and will take place at the University of Florida Hilton and Conference Center (August 15-18, 2012). The meeting promotes student participation with a particular emphasis on the participation of female and minority students. This proposal seeks funding to support the registration costs of underrepresented groups in biomedical sciences and to provide live streaming of the podium and keynote presentations to talented high school students and their teachers.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国生物力学学会是美国生物力学研究的主要学会。该学会的年会汇集了一个跨学科的科学家小组，他们将机械原理应用于基础和应用的生物学问题。 2012年年会（在佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔的佛罗里达大学校园举行）由佛罗里达大学生物力学系主办。会议将举办各种旨在促进活跃的思想交流的活动，包括讲台演讲、主题演讲、海报展示、专题教程和实验室参观。预计出席会议的代表将超过 600 人，其中一半以上预计是学生。学生参与和指导是协会的首要任务。此外，还建立了专门鼓励和支持妇女和代表性不足的少数群体参与的机制。 2012 年的会议将包括一对一辅导计划、学生颁奖会议和午餐会，为讨论女性和少数族裔的职业战略和问题提供论坛，以及吸引学生参与者的社交活动。今年会议的一项创新是与佛罗里达大学大学预科教育和培训中心 (UF-CPET) 的合作。 UF-CPET 促进和支持大学设施和师资的使用，以准备和加强中等教育水平的科学技术教育。 R13 提案的财政支持将使 UF-CPET 夏季学生科学培训计划 (SSTP) 的 25 名高中生能够参加会议，展示他们的夏季研究成果，并使我们能够向所有参与者直播讲台和主题演讲在 SSTP 计划中。此外，对该提案的资助将促进代表性不足的少数群体、残疾人和妇女参与 2012 年会议。因此，所申请的资金将确保会议向尽可能广泛的学生观众开放，并将增加有才华的高中生对生物力学的了解，我们希望这将激发他们对科学相关职业的兴趣。 公共健康相关性：美国生物力学学会是美国生物力学研究的主要科学组织。年会将由佛罗里达大学生物力学学院主办，并将在佛罗里达大学希尔顿会议中心举行（2012年8月15日至18日）。会议促进学生参与，特别强调女性和少数民族学生的参与。该提案寻求资金来支持生物医学领域代表性不足群体的注册费用，并为有才华的高中生及其老师提供讲台和主题演讲的直播。
