Abstract :
NST support is provided principally in the form of grants awarded on a competitive basis under a rigorous peer review process; NSF does not conduct research itself. In 1992, NSF defined a project eligible for support as bioengineering research as one “…with diagnosis or treatment-related goals, that applies engineering principles to problems in biology and medicine while advancing engineering knowledge is eligible for support. Bioengineering research to aid persons with disabilities is also eligible”. Bioengineering at NSF has two defined programs: 1. “Biochemical Engineering”, and 2. a two-component activity “Biomedical Engineering” (BME) and “Research to Aid Persons with Disabilities” (RAPD). The material that follows describes the Undergraduate and Graduate Design Projects, which is part of the RAPD component of the bioengineering program
