ABOUT THE SEMINAR

Navigating (and Hopefully Receiving) BME-Related Funding from NSF

Dr. George is on “loan” to NSF from East Carolina University where she is an Associate Professor of Engineering. She joined the faculty of ECU in 2010 after completing a Post-Doctoral Fellowship and Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Tech and Emory University. Dr. George’s research applies engineering frameworks to address cardiovascular problems with particular emphasis on computational modeling and image processing.  Biomedical engineering fundamental research is supported across NSF directorates. This presentation will help trainees and research investigators to navigate the various NSF programs and opportunities. Last, the presentation includes tips for proposal preparation and submission.  Come with questions related to opportunities at NSF.
