BioE Student Wins BME Award
Bioengineering PhD student Adedayo Adeniran-Catlett was awarded a 2014 BME Innovation and Career Development Award from the Biomedical Engineering Society.
Those eligible for the award are graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and early career faculty and professionals at critical transition or reentry points in their careers from underrepresented populations in biomedical engineering to include racial and ethnic minorities.
Groups identified as being underrepresented in science and engineering include: Women, African Americans, Alaskan Natives, Hispanics, American Indians/Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders (Guam, Hawaii and American Samoa).
The newly refined awards are also aimed at helping minorities and underrepresented groups in biomedical engineering involved in research and training focused on health disparities and minority health. The Awards are only available to BMES members who do not receive BMES funding through any other BMES sources.
The award winners will receive a complimentary registration to the 2014 Annual Meeting and an $800 travel stipend (upon completion of a W-9 form provided by BMES). The winners will be announced at the Health Disparities Session at the Annual Meeting scheduled for 1:30-3:30 pm on October 24, 2014, and are strongly encouraged to attend the session.
