DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) is devoted to developing and using engineering and technology to advance human health and well-being and to building the next generation of biomedical engineers to realize that vision. Innovative technologies are being developed and medical advances are occurring at a rapid rate while global problems are increasing in complexity. In order to keep pace and meet challenges, biomedical engineering must train and develop the best talent and draw that talent from all sectors. BMES is uniquely positioned as a professional society to play an active role in leading the discipline and shaping the future of biomedical engineering. Beyond research and educational presentations, through its Annual Meeting, BMES will provide opportunities for strategic network building, career development and advancement, sharing ideas, recognizing and promoting talent, developing and promoting professional excellence and broadening the participation of underserved and underrepresented groups. The theme of this year's meeting is "Bioengineering Innovations to Catalyze Affordable Health Care." The meeting will be held in San Antonio, Texas from October 22-25, 2014. Approximately 4,000 attendees are anticipated for the 2014 meeting based upon previous attendance records and abstract submissions. The main program consists of 19 parallel technical Program Tracks providing over 800 oral presentations and more than 1,500 poster presentations. There will also be a Career Fair for students and Meet the Faculty Candidate Poster Session for early career professionals such as post-doctoral fellows, and a host of professional and social activities, including pre-conference workshops, plenary lectures, and several special events. This year as a tribute to the theme, there will be at least one session on the relationship between biomedical engineering and healthcare economics. This session will include coverage of biomedical device design in the era of the Affordable Care Act, as well as talks on how BMEs can contribute to healthcare savings. This conference proposal seeks funding to support new and existing activities specifically targeted toward younger and junior members, underrepresented minorities, and others who are underserved and under-engaged with the Society. It is expected that these activities will be recurring on an annual basis and will contribute to a comprehensive approach by BMES to ensure development of a diverse technically competent biomedical engineering workforce.

描述（由申请人提供）：生物医学工程学会（BMES）致力于开发和利用工程和技术来促进人类健康和福祉，并培养下一代生物医学工程师来实现这一愿景。创新技术不断发展，医学不断进步，全球问题也日益复杂。为了跟上步伐并迎接挑战，生物医学工程必须培养和发展最优秀的人才，并从各个领域吸引人才。 BMES 作为专业协会的独特定位，在引领学科和塑造生物医学工程的未来方面发挥积极作用。除了研究和教育演讲之外，BMES还将通过年会提供战略网络建设、职业发展和晋升、分享想法、认可和提拔人才、发展和促进专业卓越以及扩大服务不足和代表性不足群体的参与等机会。今年会议的主题是“生物工程创新促进负担得起的医疗保健”。该会议将于 2014 年 10 月 22 日至 25 日在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行。根据之前的出席记录和提交的摘要，预计 2014 年会议将有大约 4,000 名与会者。主要节目由 19 个并行技术节目轨道组成，提供 800 多个口头演示和 1,500 多个海报演示。还将为学生举办招聘会，为博士后等早期职业专业人士举办“教师候选人海报会”，以及一系列专业和社交活动，包括会前研讨会、全体讲座和一些特别活动。作为对这一主题的致敬，今年将至少举办一场关于生物医学工程与医疗保健经济学之间关系的会议。本次会议将涵盖平价医疗法案时代的生物医学设备设计，以及 BME 如何为医疗保健节省做出贡献的讨论。该会议提案寻求资金支持新的和现有的活动，特别针对年轻和初级会员、代表性不足的少数群体以及其他服务不足和参与协会不足的人。预计这些活动将每年重复进行，并将有助于 BMES 采取全面的方法，以确保培养多样化的技术能力强的生物医学工程人员队伍。
