Presentation Transcript

  1. Biomedical Engineering Program ( ENG / CBET ) Semahat Demir, Ph.D. sdemir@nsf.gov Program Director Biomedical Engineering Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems (CBET) National Science Foundation

  2. Biomedical Engineering and Engineering Healthcare Cluster • Biomedical Engineering Program • Biophotonics Program • Research to Aid Persons with Disabilities Program

  3. The mission of BME Program is to provide opportunities to develop novel ideas into projects that integrate engineering and life science principles in solving biomedical problems that serve humanity. 

  4. The Focus of the BME Program Biomedical Engineering Program supports research that applies engineering principles to problems in biology and medicine while advancing the engineering knowledge base.  Integration of engineering expertise with life science principles is an essential requirement for advances in this field.  FAQ: The projects can be with diagnosis or treatment-related goals. The BME program does not support clinical studies.

  5. The BME unsolicited projects emphasize • high impact transforming technologies • new methods, models and tools of understanding and controlling living systems • fundamental improvements in deriving information from cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems • new approaches to the design of structures and materials for eventual medical use • new methods of reducing health care costs through new technologies • initial evaluation of discovery-level research in a clinical setting but not supporting clinical trials • multi-disciplinary nature, integrating engineering and the life sciences • balanced theory, mathematical modeling, and experiment Projects submitted to the BME Program must advance both engineering and biomedical sciences. o

  6. INTERAGENCY PROGRAMS in which BME participates/leads • Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (NSF/NIH) http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2004/nsf04514/nsf04514.pdf • NIH-NSF Bioengineering and Bioinformatics Summer Institutes (BBSI) http://bbsi.eeicom.com/ • DDDAS: Dynamic Data Driven Applications Systems http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2005/nsf05570/nsf05570.pdf • Interagency Opportunities in Multi-Scale Modeling in Biomedical, Biological, and Behavioral Systems (NSF, NIH, NASA, DOE) http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2004/nsf04607/nsf04607.pdf • Bioengineering Approaches to Energy Balance and Obesity (NIH/NSF) (RFA-HL-07-007) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-07-007.html LOI: 11/24/2006 Full Proposals: 12/22/06

  7. A Benchmarking Study Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) International Assessment (FY06-07) is managed by World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC) • The panelists will present the current status and future trends of the BCI research in North America, Europe and Asia.
