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

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. Biomedical Engineering Program supports research that applies engineering principles to problems in biology and medicine while advancing the engineering knowledge base. The projects can have diagnosis or treatment-related goals in the long term. The BME program does not support clinical studies.

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  Innovative approaches to the design of structures and materials for eventual medical use  Novel methods of reducing health care costs through new technologies

Research to Assist Persons with Disabilities Program ( ENG / CBET ) Robert J. Jaeger, Ph.D. Program Director RAPD Program Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems (CBET) National Science Foundation

RAPD Research Areas  Development of technologies for new and improved devices or software for persons with disabilities  Characterization, restoration, and/or substitution of human function  Emphasis is placed on significant advancement of fundamental engineering knowledge and not on incremental improvements

RAPD Undergraduate Design Project  The primary goal of this thrust is to provide a meaningful design experience for the engineering student who will work with a specific disabled individual to design a prototype "custom-designed" device or software.  Each PI is expected to implement a high percentage of projects each year. It is also expected that the projects will contain appropriate levels of quantitative engineering analysis.  The proposal must include a short description of ten possible design projects. These projects should be suitable for an undergraduate student, or a small team of students, to complete in about one year.
