DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) is the world's largest international society of biomedical engineers, with approximately 10,000 members who reside in 97 countries, with the vast majority being in the United States. The annual flagship conference of the EMBS, the Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC,) is held to support the society's mission of advancing the application of engineering sciences and technology to medicine and biology, and promoting the profession by disseminating knowledge, setting standards, fostering professional development, and recognizing excellence. The EMBC'14 will be held in Chicago from August 27 through August 31, 2014, and will consist of platform and poster sessions spread across 11 themes in biomedical engineering, including biomedical imaging, biosignal processing, bioinformatics, neuroengineering, biorobotics, micro- and nano-biosensors, healthcare information systems, and biomedical engineering education. In addition to the technical and scientific sessions, there will also be tutorials and workshops that are more educationally oriented, as well as networking sessions and panel discussions related to career choices for students and postdoctoral trainees. The nature, types of activities and scale of EMBC'14 provide an excellent environment can be utilized to promote biomedical research as a potential career pathway among top-notch undergraduate/graduate students and post-doctoral trainees in bioengineering. The specific aim of the project is to request $10,000 from NIBIB and $10,000 from NCI to support our effort in lowering the financial barriers to the EMBC'14 attendance of students and trainees, and to disburse the funding to top tier of presenting student and trainee authors in the form of ~$400 awards. The grant will play a critical role in establishing an ongoing series of forums within the EMBC in which bioengineering research and/or design work of students and trainees can be presented within a friendly and supportive environment; in providing a unique opportunity for top-notch students to be exposed firsthand to state-of- the-art advances in bioengineering research and the leaders in the field; in encouraging them to participate in networking and mentoring activities that may be critical in encouraging them to pursue graduate study or research-oriented careers in biomedical science and engineering; and in partially defray the burdening costs of travel to conference by the students and trainees. Particular attention will be directed to encourage the participation of woman, underrepresented minority, and disabled students and trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：医学与生物学工程学会 (EMBS) 是世界上最大的国际生物医学工程师学会，拥有约 10,000 名会员，居住在 97 个国家，其中绝大多数在美国。 EMBS 的年度旗舰会议——医学和生物学工程会议 (EMBC) 的举办是为了支持学会的使命，即推进工程科学技术在医学和生物学中的应用，并通过传播知识、制定标准来促进该行业的发展，促进专业发展，并认可卓越。 EMBC'14 将于 2014 年 8 月 27 日至 31 日在芝加哥举行，将包括生物医学工程 11 个主题的平台和海报会议，包括生物医学成像、生物信号处理、生物信息学、神经工程、生物机器人、微型和生物医学工程。纳米生物传感器、医疗信息系统和生物医学工程教育。除了技术和科学会议之外，还将举办更具教育意义的教程和研讨会，以及与学生和博士后实习生职业选择相关的网络会议和小组讨论。 EMBC'14 的性质、活动类型和规模为促进生物医学研究作为生物工程领域顶尖本科生/研究生和博士后学员的潜在职业道路提供了良好的环境。该项目的具体目标是向 NIBIB 请求 10,000 美元，向 NCI 请求 10,000 美元，以支持我们努力降低学生和实习生参加 EMBC'14 的财务障碍，并将资金分配给顶尖的学生和实习作者以约 400 美元奖励的形式。这笔赠款将在 EMBC 内建立一系列正在进行的论坛方面发挥关键作用，在这些论坛中，学生和受训人员的生物工程研究和/或设计工作可以在友好和支持性的环境中展示；为顶尖学生提供独特的机会，让他们亲身接触生物工程研究的最先进进展和该领域的领导者；鼓励他们参加网络和指导活动，这对于鼓励他们在生物医学科学和工程领域追求研究生学习或以研究为导向的职业可能至关重要；并部分支付学生和受训人员参加会议的沉重旅费。将特别关注鼓励女性、代表性不足的少数族裔以及残疾学生和学员的参与。
