项目摘要

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 researchers interested in the application of mechanical principles to biological problems, both basic and applied. The 2016 annual meeting, which will be held in Raleigh, NC is being hosted by faculty at North Carolina State University. The meeting will feature a variety of activities designed to foster lively interchange of ideas, includng podium presentations, thematic poster sessions, invited symposia, keynote lectures, poster presentations, topical tutorials, and laboratory tours. Student participation and mentoring are priorities for the Society. Meeting attendance is anticipated to exceed 800 delegates, of which about 40% are expected to be students. Thus, mechanisms have been established to specifically encourage and support the participation of women, underrepresented minorities and persons with disabilities. The 2016 meeting will include several activities to foster diversity and support the needs of attendees from diverse backgrounds. These activities include a one-to-one mentoring program, student award sessions and breakfasts 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. We will extend last year's Diversity Scholarship program to encourage greater attendance by students and trainees from under-represented groups. A new innovation at this year's meeting will be a STEM educational outreach program to share educational biomechanics activities geared for middle school students, establish a digital archive of lesson plans for public use, and provide engagement between our meeting and local middle school students from backgrounds underrepresented in the STEM field through a biomechanics expo. Funding of this proposal will enable continuation of the Diversity Scholarship and establishment of the STEM outreach expo and educational archive programs to ensure that our society builds the most diverse base of young active members who over time will become the future leaders of the society and the field.

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群对机械原理应用于生物问题（包括基础问题和应用问题）感兴趣的跨学科研究人员。 2016 年年会将在北卡罗来纳州罗利举行，由北卡罗来纳州立大学的教师主办，会议将举办旨在促进活跃的思想交流的各种活动，其中包括。讲台演讲、主题海报会议、特邀研讨会、主题演讲、海报展示、专题教程和实验室参观是协会的重点活动，预计出席会议的代表人数将超过 800 人，其中预计将有 40% 左右的代表出席。因此，已经建立了专门鼓励和支持妇女、代表性不足的少数群体和残疾人参与的机制。2016 年会议将包括多项促进多样性和残疾人士参与的活动。支持来自不同背景的参与者的需求，这些活动包括一对一的指导计划、学生颁奖会议和早餐会，为讨论女性和少数族裔的职业战略和问题提供论坛，以及社交活动。我们将扩大去年的多样性奖学金计划，以鼓励更多来自代表性不足群体的学生和学员参加。今年会议的一项新创新将是 STEM 教育推广计划，以分享针对中学生的教育生物力学活动。学生，建立供公众使用的课程计划数字档案，并通过生物力学博览会让我们的会议与来自 STEM 领域代表性不足的当地中学生进行接触。该提案的资助将使多样性奖学金得以继续和建立。 STEM 外展博览会和教育档案计划，以确保我们的社会建立最多元化的年轻活跃成员基础，随着时间的推移，他们将成为社会和领域的未来领导者。
